Dong Hai District: Actively developing social insurance and health insurance participants

STRENGTHENING PROPAGANDA WORK

Identifying the development of social insurance and health insurance participants as one of the key tasks of the sector, in recent times, Dong Hai District Social Insurance has implemented many solutions such as: advising the District Party Committee and the District People's Committee to assign targets for developing social insurance and health insurance participants to communes and towns. At the same time, establishing a Steering Committee to implement policies and laws on social insurance and health insurance. Coordinating with the District Post Office to organize direct propaganda campaigns to each residential area and each household, mobilizing and persuading people to see the practical benefits of participating in voluntary social insurance and health insurance. In particular, organizing conferences to propagate the development of voluntary social insurance participants, dialogue on social insurance and health insurance regimes and policies for participants. Last year, Dong Hai District Social Insurance organized 4 propaganda conferences and 26 group propaganda meetings, through which 213 people participated in voluntary social insurance and 520 people participated in household health insurance.

In addition to organizing a military campaign combined with a field trip combined with propaganda about voluntary social insurance and health insurance according to the new law in An Trach A commune, Dong Hai district Social Insurance also coordinated with the Tax Department and the Finance Department to review the number of units and enterprises operating in the area, make a list of employees who have not participated in compulsory social insurance to have a plan to develop the target group and coordinate and guide units and enterprises to properly implement the regime and policies related to social insurance for employees...

During the implementation process, thanks to the efforts in propaganda and coordination between the Social Insurance and the collection service organizations at the grassroots level; especially always receiving the attention and leadership and direction of the Provincial Social Insurance, District Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, the coordination of departments, branches and local Party committees and authorities, the implementation of social insurance and health insurance policies in the area has had many positive changes. By the end of 2024, the whole district had 5,097 people participating in social insurance, reaching 81.12% of the plan; 2,738 people participating in unemployment insurance, reaching 96.48% of the plan; 94,621 people participating in health insurance, reaching 68.85% of the plan and the rate of health insurance participants reached 82.18% of the population...

STILL DIFFICULT

Despite the attention and direction of the sectors and localities, in general, the work of developing social insurance and health insurance participants still has some limitations and difficulties. Regarding social insurance, health insurance and unemployment insurance policies for employers and employees in most private enterprises, they are not really attractive; some enterprises do not care about paying social insurance and health insurance for employees, so the implementation of social insurance laws is not strict, many enterprises participate in social insurance temporarily, to cope with inspections and checks by functional sectors. This causes difficulties for social insurance agencies and disadvantages the rights of employees.

In addition, the source of data exploitation and development of participants from data provided by the Tax authority faces many difficulties, most of them are small and micro enterprises, the number of employees is not consistent with the tax declaration number. Some enterprises have business registration but the employees are mainly seasonal or the enterprises are ineffective, dissolved and ceased operations but are still on the Tax authority's data..., causing difficulties in exploiting revenue sources as well as participants.

On the other hand, the development of voluntary social insurance and household health insurance participants is still facing many difficulties because the people being mobilized are farmers, salt workers, and self-employed workers with low and unstable incomes. It is worth noting that the majority of health insurance participants are the elderly and the sick; at the same time, many people do not have the habit of participating in voluntary social insurance when they are young to receive pensions when they are old. Therefore, the rate of people participating in health insurance and voluntary social insurance is not really sustainable and is still low compared to the potential.

Another difficulty is that the collection service organizations and agents for voluntary social insurance and family health insurance have not yet fully promoted their role in propaganda work. The leadership and direction of some local Party committees and authorities are not regular and do not have high determination. The comments and evaluations of the District Party Committee and District People's Committee for communes and towns in the field of social insurance and health insurance are still general and there are not many rewards for units that do well...

To complete the target of developing participants in social insurance, health insurance and voluntary social insurance set out in 2025, Dong Hai District Social Insurance continues to further strengthen the advisory work for local Party committees and authorities. At the same time, advise the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee and the District People's Committee to soon complete the Steering Committee for implementing policies and laws on social insurance and health insurance in 2025. Continue to coordinate with the People's Committees of communes and towns, collection service organizations and schools in the district to propagate, mobilize, send lists of participants in voluntary social insurance, health insurance for households to renew, propagate students and parents to participate in student health insurance. Continue to launch emulation movements to develop participants in voluntary social insurance for communes and towns in the whole district. Regularly report on favorable and difficult situations in developing subjects to the District Party Committee, District People's Committee and the Steering Committee for implementing the Law on Social Insurance, Health Insurance, Social Insurance and Health Insurance Development Boards of communes and towns to grasp and lead, direct promptly, effectively...
