Veteran Lo Van Mang, over 80 years old in Phay Suong village, Ca Nang commune, Quynh Nhai district, confided: From 2016 to early 2025, he received benefits from postal workers at his home. However, due to the long distance and inconvenient transportation, the monthly benefits were difficult to pay and were not timely. In March 2025, after being informed and instructed by Agribank Quynh Nhai staff on receiving non-cash social security benefits, Mr. Mang authorized his son to open an account to receive benefits. After having a bank account, the benefits were automatically transferred to his account every month.
Living in the city, the travel conditions are more convenient, but Mr. Le Duy Nghia, group 11, Chieng Le ward also faces many difficulties in receiving monthly allowances. Because Mr. Nghia is a 41% disabled veteran, and is old, many times when it is time to receive the allowance, he has to ask his children and grandchildren to take him to the ward People's Committee to sign for receipt. Seeing the inconvenience, as soon as Chieng Le ward implemented cashless allowance payments for meritorious people, Mr. Nghia was the first person to register to open an Agribank account. Mr. Nghia said: From March 2023, I registered to open a bank account. Using a bank account is convenient, safe, saves travel time, and does not bother children and grandchildren.
The province currently has more than 2,600 meritorious people with different monthly payment levels. Starting from the beginning of 2023, our province has implemented non-cash social security benefits for meritorious people, increased propaganda, and mobilized meritorious people to open bank accounts. This is considered an effective solution, "resolving difficulties" for the difficulties and obstacles encountered in the payment of social security benefits.
Promoting digital transformation in non-cash social security payments, on April 3, 2023, the People's Committee of Son La province issued a Plan to implement digital transformation in non-cash social security payments for social protection beneficiaries and people with revolutionary contributions in the province. This is a legal basis for functional agencies and localities to resolutely implement and strengthen the mobilization of people with revolutionary contributions to support the payment of monthly allowances through bank accounts.
To promote the implementation of non-cash subsidy payments to people with meritorious services to the revolution, the Department of Home Affairs urgently reviewed the situation of non-cash subsidy payments to people with meritorious services in the province. Thereby, developing plans, issuing directives, urging, and requesting People's Committees of districts, towns, and cities to implement. In particular, strengthening coordination with banks to guide the opening of accounts and registration to receive subsidies through opened accounts, aiming to achieve a rate of 100% of people with meritorious services paid through accounts.
At the grassroots level, promote propaganda and mobilize those who do not have accounts to open accounts to understand the benefits of making non-cash payments; actively manage and coordinate the organization of non-cash subsidy payments to people with revolutionary contributions through the accounts of beneficiaries or authorized persons to ensure accuracy, speed and timeliness.
Mr. Pham Quang Phuong, Deputy Director of the Department of Home Affairs, said: Paying social security benefits without using cash for meritorious people brings many benefits. Monthly support money is transferred to recipients quickly, on the prescribed date, all transactions are controlled by the electronic system, avoiding risks of loss of state budget or policy exploitation. The paying agency reduces the operating costs of the direct salary payment team, contributing to preventing waste, improving transparency in policy implementation, ensuring quick, timely, public and modern payment settlement in line with the digital transformation trend.
Moc Chau town is the first locality in the province to complete the payment of non-cash social security benefits to 100% of people with revolutionary contributions in the area.
Mr. Nguyen Viet Dung, Deputy Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of Moc Chau Town, informed: Currently, Moc Chau Town has 322 people with revolutionary contributions. The town began to popularize the policy of paying social security benefits without using cash from the end of 2022 and increased propaganda and mobilization work from 2023. Through propaganda, people are clearly aware of the convenience of paying benefits through bank accounts. Thanks to that, in early 2025, Moc Chau completed the opening of accounts to pay benefits to people with revolutionary contributions.
Thanks to favorable conditions in terms of population density and high education level, the City is also the locality that soon completed the opening of accounts for 375/375 meritorious people in the area in early May 2025. Ms. Ngo Thi Kim Khanh, Head of the City's Internal Affairs Department, said: The implementation process in the City was relatively favorable, only in a few cases where the meritorious people were elderly and had limited ability to use smartphones, the department's staff came to provide direct instructions on how to open and use a bank account. For cases of very old age, instructions were given to authorize a family member to be the account holder.
As of June 2025, the whole province has opened accounts for 2,581/2,641 meritorious people, reaching 97.7%. 8/12 districts, towns and cities have opened bank accounts for meritorious people, reaching 100%, the remaining districts have reached over 80%, and localities have paid subsidies to meritorious people who have opened bank accounts, reaching 100%. Along with strengthening propaganda and mobilizing beneficiaries of social security policies to register to create social security accounts, localities have also seriously implemented payments through accounts to ensure compliance with regulations and transparency, creating favorable conditions for people to access social services.
Implementing non-cash social security benefits for people with revolutionary contributions is a necessary solution, in line with the increasingly strong digital transformation trend. Through this, monthly benefits are strictly controlled, quickly, and to the right subjects, preventing cases of taking advantage of social security policies, optimally supporting people with revolutionary contributions and social protection subjects, in line with the spirit of "leaving no one behind".
