In the first 5 months of 2025, Vietnam Social Security (VSS) continued to ensure timely and full protection of participants' rights, despite challenges operating under a newly streamlined organizational structure. With a people and business-centered approach, VSS achieved several positive results:

  • Increased participation:
    • Social Insurance (SI): 19.56 million participants (+12% YoY), including 17.43 million in compulsory SI (+8.9%) and 2.13 million in voluntary SI (+46.23%).
    • Unemployment Insurance (UI): 15.7 million participants (+9.86%)
    • Health Insurance (HI): 93.56 million participants (+3.24%)

  • Benefit payments:
    • 46,554 monthly SI beneficiaries (+53.9%)
    • 484,994 lump-sum SI beneficiaries (−13.33%)
    • Nearly 3.6 million instances of sickness, maternity, and recovery benefits
    • 271,997 UI benefit recipients and 6,094 receiving vocational training support
  • HI claims:
    • Nearly 80 million medical visits covered by HI (+8.59%)
    • Total HI expenditure: VND 63,324 billion (+15.59%)
  • Sharp rise in pension recipients:
    • 27,255 new retirees in the first 4 months (+95.47%), driven by newly issued government decrees
  • Positive shift in long-term participation:
    • Over 91,000 fewer people opted for lump-sum SI withdrawals (−18.8%),

These outcomes indicate growing trust in the long-term benefits of the SI and HI policies, and reflect VSS’s strong commitment to fulfilling its mandate and ensuring social security benefits in the context of streamlining the organizational structure.
