Hanoi pilots cashless social security payments

The Hanoi City People's Committee has just issued Decision No. 4235/QD-UBND approving the Project "Pilot plan for social security payments in Hanoi city".

The project aims to develop a pilot plan for social security payments and social security payment support levels in Hanoi to comply with the Government's policy in Directive No. 21/CT-TTg, dated November 25, 2022 of the Prime Minister on promoting digital transformation in non-cash social security payments...

The pilot will be implemented from 2025 until there are specific regulations from the Central Government on payment costs across the city with 2 payment methods: Cash payment for people with force majeure and no account; Non-cash payment (payment via bank account or non-cash methods according to the provisions of law, the state treasury system).

To effectively implement the above Project, the City People's Committee assigned specific tasks to departments and branches. In particular, the Department of Home Affairs takes the lead in guiding the implementation and coordinates in submitting to the People's Council the cost support mechanism. The Department of Health guides the implementation for the group of medical subjects under its management. The Department of Finance balances the budget and arranges funding for implementation. The State Treasury of Region I builds a direct payment process to the subject's account and completes the technical infrastructure.

The People's Committees of communes and wards strengthen management, propaganda and mobilize people to open accounts.
