According to Point b, Clause 1, Article 8 of the Government's Decree No. 115/2015/ND-CP dated November 11th, 2015, each employee is entitled to a lump-sum social insurance payout upon request if they fall in any of the following cases:

a) He/she reaches the statutory retirement age specified Clauses 1, 2 and 4 Article 54 of the Law on Social insurance but has paid social insurance for under 20 years or he/she reaches the statutory retirement age specified Clause 3 Article 54 of the Law on Social insurance but has paid social insurance for under 15 years and does not continue paying voluntary social insurance;

c) He/she settles abroad;

d) He/she suffers a fatal disease, such as cancer, poliomyelitis, dropsy cirrhosis, leprosy, serious tuberculosis, HIV infection progressing into AIDS, or other diseases as prescribed by the Ministry of Health.

Vietnam Social Security provides information on eligibility for lump-sum social insurance payout for you to refer to and compare with your case. As you do not provide enough information about your own conditions, the Vietnam Social Security does not have a specific basis to answer.

If you have participated in social insurance and were issued with a social insurance book with work history record, you should continue to participate in compulsory social insurance or voluntary social insurance until you meet the conditions of age and time to participate in social insurance to enjoy monthly pension.
