Yen Khanh actively promotes social insurance and health insurance policies.

In order to create positive changes among the people regarding the regimes and policies of the Party and the State on social insurance and health insurance, in which attention is paid to maintaining and expanding the number of participants in voluntary social insurance and family health insurance, Yen Khanh District Social Insurance has implemented propaganda measures both visually, on mass media and through collection agents, helping people grasp the regimes and policies of the Party and the State on social insurance and health insurance, creating positive changes in the awareness of the people, contributing significantly to the implementation of local goals on implementing social insurance and health insurance policies for workers.

As an agent for collecting social insurance and health insurance for the People's Committee of Khanh Cu commune, Ms. Bui Thi Hien has more than ten years of experience in propaganda and mobilizing people to participate in voluntary social insurance and family health insurance in the locality.

Ms. Bui Thi Hien said: When propagating to the people, I clearly understand the psychology of the subjects who want to participate, which is to see the necessity, the practical benefits of that policy, who has benefited. Therefore, along with grasping the situation of family circumstances, psychology of the subjects, jobs, income sources... I also clearly state the cases that have benefited from the policy in the commune, such as seriously ill people who have their treatment costs paid with a large amount of tens, hundreds of millions of VND in medical examination and treatment; people who receive pensions when they participate in voluntary social insurance instead of receiving a one-time social insurance regime.

Thanks to active propaganda and mobilization, up to now, Ms. Hien is managing over 1,300 people participating in family health insurance and nearly 40 people participating in voluntary social insurance.

For Ms. Tran Thi Huyen, when she was wondering whether she should withdraw her social insurance at once after 12 years of paying social insurance but no longer working at a company, Ms. Huyen was advised to decide to continue to participate in voluntary social insurance.

According to Ms. Huyen, due to her family circumstances, she could not continue working at a business far from home and wanted to return home to do business at home. When she learned that the recently revised Draft Law on Social Insurance, which is about to be passed, proposed to reduce the number of years of payment to 15 years to receive a pension, Ms. Huyen decided to continue paying for the remaining 3 years to reach 15 years so that when she is old enough, she can receive a pension and health insurance benefits.

Currently, the consequences after more than 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic have had a significant impact on the economy and the labor market. Many businesses have had their orders cut, which means work layoffs, work stoppages, and rotating leave, and many workers have lost their jobs and fallen into difficult situations.

To make ends meet, many workers or those who have switched to other economic activities have withdrawn their social insurance at one time, mainly in the group of young workers, from over 20 years old to 40 years old.

Mr. Do Tien Dung, Khanh Thanh commune (Yen Khanh district) said: He has been a driver for a company in the area for nearly ten years, but currently his job and income are unstable, and he is having difficulty paying social insurance and health insurance. He is considering withdrawing his social insurance at once to spend for his family's immediate needs...

Currently, the fact that many workers withdraw their social insurance at one time has posed a big challenge, affecting the rights of workers both in the short term and in the long term. Requiring the social insurance industry to strengthen information and propaganda work.

In which, the widespread propaganda on the amendment of the one-time social insurance policy is set out in the spirit of Resolution No. 28-NQ/TW on reforming the social insurance policy, aiming at more flexibility and openness in the conditions for receiving pensions, but stricter regulations on one-time social insurance withdrawal.

Ms. Pham Duy Cuong, Deputy Director of Yen Khanh District Social Insurance, said: In recent times, the unit has paid special attention to the work of disseminating and popularizing policies and laws on social insurance and health insurance. The district Social Insurance also clearly identified that in order to attract people to participate in voluntary social insurance and family health insurance, the work of disseminating information must be one step ahead. Communication work is prioritized in focusing resources, innovating in a modern, diverse, flexible direction, suitable to actual conditions and subjects participating in social insurance and health insurance. Thereby helping people understand the benefits of participating early and from the beginning.

Every year, Yen Khanh District Social Insurance closely coordinates with departments, offices, socio -political organizations, unions, localities in the area and mass media agencies to deploy many solutions to promote communication work in the area; contributing to improving the effectiveness of propaganda and dissemination of policies and laws on social insurance and health insurance to employees and employers.

At the same time, every year, dozens of programs, conferences, seminars, and direct dialogues are organized with workers, representatives of agencies, units, organizations that employ workers, and people of all walks of life... contributing to maintaining and gradually increasing the number of participants in voluntary social insurance and family health insurance.

At the same time, Yen Khanh District Social Insurance also actively propagates and guides people to install the VssID-Social Insurance Number application. Requires the "One-stop" Department staff to approve account issuance and support instructions on registering and installing VssID when people come to transact.

With many practical utilities, the VssID application helps social insurance and health insurance participants grasp the process of participating in and enjoying their policies; use the image of the health insurance card on the VssID application when going to see a doctor or get medical treatment under health insurance instead of a paper health insurance card and provide online public services for individuals transacting with the social insurance agency, so the VssID application is increasingly registered, installed and used by many people in the district.
