In the first 9 months of 2024, the number of people participating in social insurance (SI), health insurance (HI), and unemployment insurance (UI) all increased compared to the same period in 2023, reaching over 19.02 million people (up 9.9%); 93.45 million people (up 2.18%); 15.31 million people (up 8.02%), respectively.
Mr. Dao Viet Anh - Deputy General Director of Vietnam Social Security - said that all tasks performed by Vietnam Social Security are aimed at a common goal, which is to best ensure the rights and legitimate interests of participants in social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance.
Accordingly, in parallel with the issuance of full business procedures, Vietnam Social Security has promoted decentralization and administrative reform in organizing the implementation of social insurance and unemployment insurance policies; at the same time, it always closely follows and directs local social security agencies in promptly and properly resolving each participant and beneficiary of the policies.
In the first 9 months of 2024 alone, the Vietnam Social Security sector has resolved one-time benefits for 990,975 people, of which the number of people receiving one-time social insurance benefits decreased by 0.66% compared to the same period in 2023; 6.2 million people received sickness, maternity, convalescence and health recovery benefits; received 719,348 people receiving unemployment insurance benefits...
In addition, the Vietnam Social Insurance sector has synchronously deployed many solutions to strictly and effectively control the health insurance fund, ensuring correct and sufficient spending. In particular, promoting digital transformation in health insurance operations to detect and identify early signs of abuse and unusually increased costs, thereby coordinating with medical facilities to inspect and adjust, contributing to preventing profiteering and abuse of the health insurance fund.
