Procedures for monthly social allowance shall be amended from July 01, 2021

It is expected that from July 01, 2021, paper household registration books will be officially abandoned in Vietnam and converted to digital management. Currently, the process of applying for a monthly social allowance requires the presentation of a household registration book, so what effect will the removal of the household registration book have on this procedure?

Currently, procedures for monthly social allowance are carried out as follows:

- Dossier for monthly social allowance includes:

+ An application for monthly social benefits includes an application form made using the Forms No. 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d and 1dd in the Appendix IV enclosed with Decree No. 140/2018/NĐ-CP of Vietnam’s Government on amendments to Decrees related to business conditions and administrative procedures under the management of the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs.

+ Number of dossier: 01 set.

- Implementation process:

Step 1: The beneficiary, his/her guardian or relevant organization/individual shall prepare an application and submit it to the President of the People’s Committee of the commune. Upon submission of the application, the following documents shall be produced for comparison:

- Family register of the beneficiary or written confirmation provided by the police authority of the commune.

- Birth certificate of the child in case of considering providing social benefits to the child, poor person who is raising his/her child or disabled person who is raising his/her child.

- Written certification of HIV infection issued by a competent health authority in case of HIV infection.

Step 2: Within 10 working days from the receipt of the satisfactory application, the appraisal council shall consider appraising it and publish the appraisal result at the People’s Committee of the commune within 05 working days, except the beneficiary’s HIV-related information. After the period of time over which the result is published, if no complaint is lodged, the appraisal council shall include the minutes of final meeting to the beneficiary’s application and submit it to the People’s Committee of the commune. In case any complaint is lodged, within 10 working days from the receipt of the complaint, the appraisal council shall give a conclusion and publish the complaint-related issues and submit them to the President of People's Committee of the commune.

Step 4: Within 07 working days from the receipt of the beneficiary’s application and written request submitted by the President of People's Committee of the commune, the district employment authority shall carry out appraisal and request the President of People's Committee of the district in writing to decide to provide social benefits to the beneficiary. In case of ineligibility for receipt of social benefits, the district employment authority shall provide a written response and explanation.

Step 5: Within 03 working days from the receipt of the written request sent by the district employment authority, the President of the People's Committee of the district shall consider providing monthly social benefits to the beneficiary.

Currently, there is no document on adjusting the procedures related to the use of household registration books, but according to the current process, the use of household registration books is only to verify information to make a subsidy application.

The digitization of personal data will make the personal information verification process faster and more accurate. Therefore, this change brings convenience to people a lot. When applying for a monthly social allowance, the applicant is not required to carry papers verifying personal information, their information is already available on a national database for officials to quickly check information, specifically, only a “personal identification number” is required to search and proceed to the next steps of the monthly social allowance review process. People should pay attention to update the latest information from relevant Ministries for more detailed information as well as specific instructions in the coming time.

Legal basis:

- Decree No. 136/2013/NĐ-CP;

- Decree No. 140/2018/NĐ-CP;
