What is social insurance? 

As per the stipulations outlined in Clause 1, Article 3 of the 2014 Law on Social Insurance, the present definition of social insurance stands as follows:

“Social insurance serves as a safeguard to substitute or partially reimburse employees’ earnings in the event of income loss or reduction due to sickness, maternity, workplace accidents, occupational ailments, retirement, or death. This is contingent upon contributions made to the social insurance fund.”

Social insurance regimes in Vietnam

There are two types of social insurance:

– Compulsory social insurance is a form of social insurance that is mandated by the government and requires both employees and employers to participate. This type of insurance provides various benefits including sickness benefits, maternity benefits, coverage for occupational accidents and diseases, pension benefits, and death benefits.

– Voluntary social insurance, on the other hand, is a type of social insurance organized by the government where participants have the flexibility to choose their payment levels and methods based on their financial capabilities. The government also provides support by subsidizing social insurance contributions, ensuring that participants can receive appropriate retirement and death benefits. The regimes covered under voluntary social insurance include death benefits and pension benefits.

Why do you need to participate in social insurance?

When engaging in social insurance, employees will be entitled to the following advantages:

• Social insurance ensures stability for workers who participate. Participants will receive income replacement or compensation for a portion of their earnings in the event of a decline, inability to work, job loss, or death.
• Upon retirement, participants will receive a monthly pension through various channels, such as their personal bank account, organizations, businesses, or employers.
• In the unfortunate event of the participant’s passing, their relatives will receive funeral benefits and death benefits.
• Participants have the right to file complaints, report any wrongdoing, or take legal action against social insurance in accordance with the law.
• Participants are encouraged to undergo regular assessments to determine their level of reduced working capacity. If eligible for social insurance, the costs of medical assessments will be covered.
• Information regarding social insurance contributions will be provided periodically. Employees have the right to request their employers to furnish details about payments and benefits.
