This Decree details and guides the implementation of subjects and conditions for receiving social pension benefits; social pension benefit levels; procedures for implementing social pension benefits; support for funeral expenses; funding and implementation of social pension benefits.
Accordingly, Vietnamese citizens are entitled to social pension benefits when they meet three specific conditions: Being 75 years old or older; not receiving monthly pension or social insurance benefits or receiving monthly pension or social insurance benefits lower than the pension level prescribed in the Decree (VND 500,000/month); having a written request to receive social pension benefits.
