The draft consists of 5 chapters and 46 articles, of which the Ministry of Home Affairs devotes 1 chapter (including 16 articles) to regulating electronic transactions in the field of social insurance. This chapter is structured into 3 sections: Section 1 regulates electronic social insurance documents; Section 2 regulates the rights and obligations of agencies, organizations and individuals when participating in electronic transactions in the field of social insurance; Section 3 regulates the implementation of electronic transactions in the field of social insurance.

The content of this chapter basically inherits the provisions of Decree No. 166/2016/ND-CP dated December 24, 2016, amended and supplemented by Decree No. 140/2018/ND-CP dated October 8, 2018 of the Government ; at the same time, it is adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Electronic Transactions 2023 and detailed regulations.

In addition, the draft also proposes to adjust the contents to suit the practical implementation process. The Ministry of Home Affairs proposes to reduce the processing time of social insurance agencies when receiving requests for registration, information adjustment and cessation of electronic transaction methods in the field of social insurance from 3 working days to 2 working hours.

The draft removes the responsibility of the I-VAN Organization in providing complete information and data and implementing the periodic and ad hoc reporting regime on I-Van service provision activities as required by the Vietnam Social Security. Currently, this information and data have been centrally managed and fully stored at the Vietnam Social Security Data Center.

One of the prominent new regulations is the draft proposal to supplement regulations on electronic social insurance books. The Ministry of Home Affairs proposes that electronic social insurance books be issued by social insurance agencies to each social insurance participant in the electronic environment.

The electronic social insurance book has the same information as the paper social insurance book and is encoded according to the provisions of law. Information in the electronic social insurance book includes: Social insurance code; Basic personal information including: Full name; date of birth; gender; nationality; ID number or passport number; Information on the social insurance payment process (payment period; basis for social insurance payment; contribution rate to social insurance funds and related information associated with the payment process such as rank, position; job title, job; name of unit; workplace, etc.); Information on enjoying and resolving social insurance regimes; Other necessary information related to the payment and enjoyment of social insurance.

The electronic social insurance book is linked to the level 2 electronic identification account (VNeD) of the individual participating in social insurance. Social insurance participants can use handheld electronic devices in the electronic environment to receive the electronic social insurance book./.
