In addition, Clause 2, Article 31 also adds subjects that do not have to participate in unemployment insurance other than those receiving pensions or doing domestic work according to the 2013 Law on Employment, including: People receiving social insurance benefits, monthly allowances according to Government regulations or eligible for pensions; employees working under probationary contracts according to labor law regulations.

The 2025 Law on Employment also assigns the National Assembly Standing Committee to decide on unemployment insurance participation for other subjects who have stable and regular jobs and incomes based on the Government's proposal in accordance with the economic and social development conditions of each period. This provision creates conditions for expanding unemployment insurance participation to other groups of subjects in accordance with changes in labor relations, socio-economic development conditions, and the lives of workers in the future.
