Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang has signed and issued Circular No. 88/2025 guiding the implementation of compulsory social insurance (SI) for officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of the People's Public Security (CAND).
The Ministry of Public Security has guided the one-time social insurance regime in Article 15 of the Circular.
Accordingly, the subjects specified in Clause 1, Article 2 of this Circular, when discharged from the army or disciplined by the form of stripping the title of People's Public Security without meeting the conditions for pension benefits but having a request, are entitled to receive one-time social insurance according to the provisions of Article 70 of the Law on Social Insurance and Article 15 of Decree No. 157/2025.
The average monthly salary for social insurance contributions to serve as a basis for calculating one-time social insurance is implemented according to the provisions of Article 16 of Decree No. 157/2025/ND-CP and Article 17 of this Circular. In case the period of social insurance payment under the salary regime prescribed by the State is not enough for the last years in Clause 1, Article 17 of this Circular, the average monthly salary of the months of social insurance payment will be calculated.
When calculating the one-time social insurance benefit level, in case the social insurance payment period has odd months, 1 - 6 months is counted as half (1/2%) of the year, 7 - 11 months are counted as one year.
In case there is a period of social insurance payment both before and after January 1, 2014 but the period of social insurance payment before January 1, 2014 has odd months, those odd months will be transferred to the social insurance payment period from January 1, 2014 onwards to serve as the basis for calculating one-time social insurance benefits.
The time to calculate one-time social insurance benefits is the time when the People's Public Security Insurance issues a decision to receive one-time social insurance.
The one-time social insurance benefit level of employees with less than one year of social insurance contributions is calculated by the amount of social insurance contributions to the pension and death fund, but at most 2 months is equal to the average monthly salary for social insurance contributions.
The Ministry of Public Security gave a specific example: Major Lieutenant Nguyen Dang H joined the People's Public Security in August 2025; salary coefficient 4.20;
Major H was discharged from the army from December 1, 2025; the time to participate in social insurance from August 2025 to November 30, 2025 is 4 months.
The one-time social insurance benefit level of comrade H is: 2,340,000 VND x 4.2 x 22,2% x 4 months = 8,648,640 VND.
