I was born in 1970 and has been paying compulsory social insurance premium for 19 years. Currently, I have quit my job for 14 months. Now can I continue to pay one-time voluntary social insurance (skipping 14 months without paying insurance) for the full number of years and the age as prescribed?

I have been participating in social insurance for nearly 5 years, then I changed my job and stopped payment since mid-October 2019. Until mid-October 2020, I will be eligible to receive social insurance money, and according to the regulations I figured out myself, I must complete some procedures to receive the money within 30 days from the time I am eligible; However, I am currently working in Thailand so due to the epidemic, I cannot return to receive the money on time. I have consulted the procedure for authorizing a relative to receive, but I cannot sign the power of attorney (POA) as prescribed. Please give me instructions on how to receive the social insurance money in this case. Or else, can I postpone the money receiving time until I am able to return to Vietnam? Thank you for your help and answers.

1. Case 1: The employee who had been participating in compulsory social insurance for 5 months but died (not due to a occupational accident/disease), is he/she entitled to the one-time survivorship allowance? and how much is the benefit? 2. Case 2: The employee who is participating in compulsory social insurance and the period of participation in social insurance is 5 months but dies due to a labor accident / BNN, can he / she receive the monthly survivorship allowance? and how much is the benefit?

In September 2020, my company signed a labor contract with a worker from abroad. This is the first time my company has a foreign worker, so the company currently does not have a unit code to pay social insurance and health insurance for this person. Please give me guidance on the process of applying for a unit code as well as the form of payment of social insurance premium, whether it is similar to the case where the employee is Vietnamese or not. Sincerely thank. Best regards.

The books of employees participating in social insurance in many companies have been closed for full process reservation. After 1 year, the employee registered for the one-off social insurance claim at the social insurance agency where he/she temporarily resides in Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City. When it got checked by the social insurance agency, the position allowance in one of the companies where he/she participated (in Hanoi) was detected wrong. The agency in Binh Thanh District required him/her to come to the old social insurance agency (in Hanoi) to adjust the position allowances. Is it reasonable for the social insurance agency of Binh Thanh District to resolve that way? If yes, what should the employee do?

My health insurance card is registered at the primary hospital in the province. Where can I get medical examination and treatment at a facility other than the provincial general hospital and still enjoy the full benefits stated in the health insurance card?

I went for a medical examination at the central level, which was at the primary level. Now I’m discharged from the hospital and have a follow-up appointment. May I ask if I have a follow-up appointment, can I stay in the inpatient hospital? And what is the maximum time to stay in the inpatient hospital for treatment until the primary insurance period expires? I heard that the referral to the primary level can provide inpatient treatment in the central hospital for 1 month; and only 10 days for the inappropriate-level medical examination. After the above time, I may not be entitled to health insurance. Is it right or wrong?
