Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs actively reviewed and proposed expanding
groups of people with extremely difficult circumstances who are yet entitled to
monthly social allowances in the community; disadvantaged people are not
eligible to be admitted to social protection establishments to provide
assistance for them. The department has directed the Divisions of Labor, War
Invalids and Social Affairs of districts and city to coordinate with post
offices in paying allowances to social protection beneficiaries in a right,
sufficient, safe and convenient manner.

Invalids and Social Affairs, said currently, the sector is organizing
activities of visiting and assisting social protection beneficiaries on the
occasion of Lunar New Year. At the same time, it is building a plan to
implement social protection work in 2020.
In the immediate future, the department will focus on giving timely assistance
to social protection beneficiaries during the Lunar New Year and the between-crop
months, while implementing fully and promptly social assistance and
preferential policies for the disadvantaged and those in need in line with law.
It will mobilize all social resources and develop community-based assistance forms
to create favorable conditions and opportunities for disadvantaged people to
overcome their difficulties and integrate into the community./.
