Question about being authorized to receive social insurance - one-time social insurance mentioned above by Ms. Nguyen Mai Le, a reader of Thanh Nien Newspaper.

Social Security Agency responds

According to Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance, according to the provisions of civil law and social insurance, employees have the right to authorize others to prepare documents and receive one-time social insurance withdrawals.

Currently, the Social Insurance agency handles the enjoyment of social insurance benefits with authorization procedures through a power of attorney (Form No. 13-HSB issued with Decision No. 166/2019 of Vietnam Social Insurance) or according to the provisions of civil law on authorization.

Specifically, the attached documents include: closed social insurance book; application for one-time social insurance benefit; authorization letter according to form 13-HSB or notarized/certified authorization contract.

In addition, the authorized person coming to the Social Insurance agency to submit the application must bring identification papers, notarized copies of the ID card/CCCD of the authorized person, to submit the application for social insurance benefits or receive the settlement results.

People line up to submit documents to withdraw social insurance one time

According to current regulations, the one-time social insurance benefit is calculated based on the number of years of social insurance contributions. Each year, 1.5 months of the average monthly salary for social insurance contributions is calculated for years before 2014 and 2 months of the average monthly salary for social insurance contributions for years from 2014 onwards.

In case the period of social insurance payment is less than 1 year, the social insurance benefit is equal to the amount paid, the maximum level is equal to 2 months of the average monthly salary for social insurance payment.

In addition, within 10 days from the date of receiving a complete dossier as prescribed for the case of receiving a one-time social insurance benefit, the social insurance agency is responsible for resolving and organizing payment to the employee; in case of non-resolution, a written response must be given stating the reason.

In Ho Chi Minh City, recently, the issue of one-time withdrawal of social insurance has received special attention from employees.

In April 2023, at the Social Insurance Office of Hoc Mon District (HCMC), there was a situation where a large number of people gathered in front of the Social Insurance gate waiting to complete the procedures for withdrawing Social Insurance at one time. Many people even spread out mats and hung hammocks to lie down and wait for the opening time, and many people even waited overnight.

Deputy Director of Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance Tran Dung Ha said that in the first quarter of 2023, the unit was overloaded with records. Specifically, in the first quarter, Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance received 516,294 records of all kinds, returning results to 495,060 records. Of which, from the beginning of the year to April 10, the total number of records for one-time social insurance benefits received in the whole city was 40,111.

Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance emphasizes that currently, the settlement of one-time social insurance benefit applications does not distinguish between places of residence, the procedures for receiving benefits and the calculation of benefit levels are the same. Employees can submit one-time social insurance benefit applications at any district or commune social insurance agency nationwide.

The Social Insurance Agency also strictly prohibits district and county Social Insurance agencies from pushing the receipt of one-time social insurance applications.
