Starting from October 1, 2026, Vietnam will introduce significant changes to its subsidy system. The new regulations will see the monthly subsidy for individuals with meritorious service increased to 3.012 million VND. In addition, the standard for social assistance and social pensions will also be raised to 540,000 VND per month.

This adjustment is part of the government's ongoing efforts to enhance social welfare and support for vulnerable populations. The increase aims to provide better financial assistance to those in need, ensuring that individuals with meritorious service and those relying on social pensions can maintain a more stable standard of living.

The new subsidy levels reflect a commitment to improving the quality of life for citizens, particularly those who have contributed to the nation or are in vulnerable situations. The adjustments will be officially implemented on the specified date, impacting many families across the country.
