Former Deputy Inspector General of Government not receiving pension for 5 months

After 5 months of not receiving his pension through his bank account, on the afternoon of August 22, 2017, former Deputy Inspector General of the Government Nguyen Chien Binh went to the People's Committee of Ward 7, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, asking professional staff to clarify the cause of the incident.

Former Deputy Inspector General has not received pension for 5 months. Bank statement shows that for the past 5 months, former Deputy Inspector General of Government Nguyen Chien Binh has not received pension.

Former Deputy Inspector General of the Government Nguyen Chien Binh was born into a family with a revolutionary tradition. He has more than 50 years of working experience, including 4 years at the Government Inspectorate, in many different positions.

According to legal regulations, former Deputy Inspector General of the Government Nguyen Chien Binh has a permanent residence at 305A Dien Bien Phu Street, Ward 7, District 3, so the retirement regime is implemented through the People's Committee of Ward 7.

Speaking to the press, Mr. Nguyen Chien Binh said: Implementing the Party and Government's cadre policy, from September 1, 2015, I retired according to the regime. After completing the procedures, I received my pension at the place of permanent residence registration, through the specialized department of the People's Committee of Ward 7, District 3. The monthly pension I receive is 9,026,500 VND.

After the policy of paying salary through bank account, Mr. Nguyen Chien Binh completed the procedure to report the account number to the authorities and received salary through the bank account. This is the account that former Deputy Inspector General of Government Nguyen Chien Binh used when he was working at the Government Inspectorate and received pension from January 2017 to March 19, 2017, according to the statement with the Bank's confirmation stamp.

However, from March 25, 2017 until now, for 5 months, Mr. Nguyen Chien Binh has not received his pension through his account without knowing the reason, and no competent authority has explained.

Realizing that the incident had signs of lack of transparency, even signs of abuse of position to appropriate pensions of retired officials, on the afternoon of August 22, 2017, former Deputy Inspector General of the Government Nguyen Chien Binh met with the Chairman of the People's Committee of Ward 7, District 3, to find out why there was a phenomenon of retired officials not receiving their pensions through their accounts for 5 months.

At the office of the Chairman of Ward 7 People's Committee, Mr. Nguyen Chien Binh presented the incident and provided a bank statement.

After checking, a female professional officer of Ward 7 People's Committee replied that the account had an error so his pension was returned by the bank.

Without fully explaining the regulations related to the incident, this female officer asked Mr. Binh to work with District 3 Social Insurance and Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance, provide the account number to redo the procedures, and provide a declaration of information change according to form 18-CBH.

Realizing the irresponsible way of working, making it difficult for retired cadres, Mr. Nguyen Chien Binh asked the Chairman of Ward 7 People's Committee to contact District 3 Social Insurance, and received information that the failure to transfer pensions to bank accounts was the fault of the post office?

According to former Deputy Inspector General of the Government Nguyen Chien Binh, this incident goes against the Party's policies and the Government's regulations on policies and regimes for retired cadres. Therefore, he requested the Ho Chi Minh City Police and the Ho Chi Minh City Inspectorate to conduct inspections and investigations to clarify violations and strictly handle violators. This is a necessary action to protect the legitimate rights and interests of retired cadres, as well as to prevent the situation of pensions not being transferred to accounts as happened in District 3.
