Social Insurance Law No. 41/2024/QH15 (abbreviated as Social Insurance Law 2024) takes effect from July 1, 2025. Compared to the Social Insurance Law 2014, the Social Insurance Law 2024 has many changes, aiming to improve people's benefits. In particular, according to the provisions of the law, there are more cases subject to compulsory social insurance participation. The new regulations open up opportunities for employees to access social security policies, enjoy regimes and benefits when sick, pregnant, retired, etc.

According to the 2024 Social Insurance Law, Ms. Ngo Thi Huong in Tan Hung commune, the owner of an agricultural business household, is eligible to participate in compulsory social insurance. Ms. Huong shared: This is a regulation that benefits workers and meets the expectations of many people. Previously, I participated in voluntary social insurance. However, according to current regulations, when participating in voluntary social insurance, I am entitled to the following benefits: maternity allowance, retirement, death, and occupational accident insurance. Currently, when participating in compulsory social insurance, in addition to the above benefits, I am also entitled to sick leave. Therefore, although I have to deduct a portion of my monthly income to pay compulsory social insurance, I feel secure. The payment method is quite flexible, I can choose to pay monthly, quarterly or semi-annually, which is suitable for my financial balance.

Not only business owners with business registration, many other cases are also subject to compulsory social insurance.

I am very excited to participate in compulsory social insurance. I will enjoy full social insurance policies and regimes. This is also the State's concern for part-time workers in villages and residential groups, helping us to work with peace of mind and complete assigned tasks...
