At the same time, 38,957 workers who failed to pay the prescribed amount were also collected, with the amount of 127.3 billion VND. The total amount of money that the units had delayed paying before the inspection decision was 2,106.8 billion VND and the amount recovered during the inspection and examination was 1,099.8 billion VND.
In addition, the social insurance agency has issued or submitted to competent authorities for issuance 1,948 decisions on administrative sanctions for violations in the fields of social insurance, unemployment insurance, and health insurance, with the total amount of sanctions payable to the state budget being 61.1 billion VND.
Regarding the inspection of social insurance and unemployment insurance payments, it was requested to recover 11.2 billion VND to the social insurance fund due to improper benefits and 981.03 million VND to the unemployment insurance fund due to incorrect payment of unemployment benefits.
In the work of inspecting, managing, and settling medical examination and treatment costs under health insurance, the social insurance sector requested the recovery of 172.4 billion VND to the health insurance fund due to improper spending.
Innovation in inspection and examination work through technology application
Recently, according to Vietnam Social Security, with strong and unified direction throughout the system, this industry has promoted innovation in inspection and examination work, especially applying information technology to exploit centralized and interconnected data.
This helps shorten the time spent working directly at the unit, improve the quality of inspection and examination, and allows 100% review of records, even for businesses with thousands of employees or medical facilities with millions of health insurance examinations and treatments.
The results in 2024 showed a clear increase in efficiency: The amount of arrears increased by 18.15%; the number of decisions on administrative sanctions increased by 6.57%; the amount of health insurance medical examination and treatment costs recovered to the fund increased by 54.5% compared to 2023.
Vietnam Social Security assessed that inspection and examination work has promptly detected and prevented acts of late payment, evasion of payment, and appropriation of funds, strictly handled prolonged violations, protected the rights of employees, and raised awareness of compliance with the law.
The results of the inspection and examination are also an important practical basis for Vietnam Social Security to propose to improve policies and laws on social insurance, health insurance and inspection; ensure feasibility and suitability to reality, and better protect the rights of participants. |
