To achieve the assigned targets for Social Insurance, Health Insurance, and Unemployment Insurance coverage in the last months of the year, VSS has proposed various measures to expand the Social Insurance, Health Insurance and Unemployment Insurance coverage. These measures focus on four strategic solution groups, including: actively consulting local Party committees and authorities, providing additional contribution rate, reviewing to identify potential participants, and organizing activities to expand the coverage.

According to the guidance of VSS, provincial social security agencies need to enhance coordination with departments, sectors, and local authorities in the expansion of Social Insurance, Health Insurance coverage; connect and share potential data, inspect and examine units showing signs of violations regarding Social Insurance, Health Insurance contributions to ensure clear content, actions, timelines, responsibilities, and complete implementation results. Each month, district-level social security agencies periodically evaluate the implementation results of communes, wards, townships, and agents; and reward exemplary and advanced models before the end of the month.

Provincial social security agencies promptly consult Party committees and authorities for implementation guidance and actively take measures to expand the coverage. In which, it is necessary to closely follow the “scenario” of coverage expanding, monitor its implementation; emphasize leadership responsibility in following VSS directives; proactively apply innovative and creative approaches and learn from the experiences of successful localities for implementation within their own units and areas. In particular, localities also need to focus on administrative reform, electronic transactions, and digitizing data for Social Insurance, Health Insurance participants.

With the efforts mentioned above, VSS expects that in 2023, the number of people participating in the social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance systems will continue to be maintained and grow compared to the same period in 2022, specifically, in the field of health insurance, it may achieve the target of covering 93% of the population, contributing to ensuring social security and the sustainable development of the country.
