Implementation results, according to Resolution 190/2025/QH15 of the National Assembly on handling issues related to the implementation of apparatus arrangement, for the field of social protection and the implementation related to the contents of social assistance policies, Minister Dao Hong Lan said, the Ministry of Health took over this task from the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs and has built and deployed a public service software system to register and resolve policies related to social assistance online and a database of social protection beneficiaries nationwide.

In the field of social protection, a public service software system for online registration and settlement of social assistance policies and a nationwide database of social protection beneficiaries has been built and deployed since 2022.

This system has handled 11 administrative procedures with 3.8 million subjects implemented, and has connected the electronic government settlement with 63 localities, synchronized on the National Public Service Portal.

At the same time, the system has connected and received records from the inter-connected public service of Death Registration - Permanent Residence Deregistration - Funeral Cost Support of the Government and connected with the National Population Database to serve the authentication of personal identification information of social protection beneficiaries.

The Minister assessed that this connection was very convenient and smooth, including connecting death registration, deleting permanent residence registration, supporting funeral expenses and connecting with the national population database.

Since its implementation, the public service software system has received and processed more than 500,000 online records of citizens. Localities have used the software to make monthly social assistance payment lists for more than 3.8 million beneficiaries, of which 61/63 provinces and cities have made social assistance policy payments to beneficiaries through the Vietnam Post Office; 63/63 provinces and cities have implemented non-cash payments for 1.9 million social protection beneficiaries through bank accounts and payment accounts (accounting for about 50% of the total number of beneficiaries).

The database has met the criteria of "Correct - Sufficient - Clean - Living", ensuring safety and information security, and is currently connected to the national population database, meeting the conditions for connecting to the shared national database.

Currently, when implementing the two-level government model, the Ministry of Health has taken over and upgraded and edited the public service registration software system. Currently, these contents are being deployed to ensure compliance with the requirements of the two-level government system after the Ministry of Health takes over.

In particular, the software systems have also been upgraded in performance, and have now connected 26/34 provinces and cities. At the same time, more than 1,000 online records of citizens in the past 2 months of implementation under the two-level online model have also been resolved, ensuring the needs of the people./.
