Beginning July 10, 2026, social pensioners in Da Nang will benefit from an additional monthly allowance of 250,000 VND under Resolution 64. This policy is designed to enhance the living standards of individuals who are elderly and unable to work, particularly those classified as poor or near-poor households.

The new financial support comes as part of the city's efforts to address poverty and improve the welfare of its citizens. According to the current regulations, social pensioners will receive a total monthly pension ranging from 300,000 VND to 5,000,000 VND, depending on their specific circumstances and eligibility under the new policy.

The additional allowance is aimed at those who are receiving social pensions and belong to households that meet the poverty criteria set by the government. Specifically, individuals classified as poor with no ability to work will receive this supplementary amount, which is calculated as 0.5 times the standard social pension currently set at 500,000 VND per month.

Moreover, the government has committed to reviewing and adjusting social pension rates every three years to ensure they remain in line with the economic conditions and budgetary capabilities. This adjustment aims to provide ongoing support to those who rely on these pensions for their livelihood.

In addition to the pension benefits, social pensioners will also have their health insurance covered by the state, ensuring they have access to necessary medical care. Upon their passing, families will receive a burial support allowance as stipulated by the law concerning the elderly.

This initiative reflects the government's commitment to social welfare and poverty alleviation, providing much-needed assistance to vulnerable populations in Da Nang.
