At the meeting, the leader of Thai Nguyen Provincial Social Security Office said that due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, the production and business activities of enterprises in the area were strongly affected, therefore, the implementation of social and health insurance are currently facing a great deal of difficulties.

The number of businesses shutting down and stopping transactions with social security agencies is increasing. The number of workers in industrial parks and foreign-invested enterprises has sharply decreased. Especially, units with FDI capital, in the fields of garment, tourism, and transportation often reduce labor, directly affecting the plan to collect and develop participants.

For example, in Pho Yen town, compared to 2020, the number of people participating in compulsory social insurance decreased by 6,919 people, concentrated in large units such as: Hansol Electronics Vietnam Co., Ltd; Samsung Electronics Vietnam Co., Ltd. Thai Nguyen; Samsung Electro - Mechanics Vietnam Co., Ltd. In addition, the number of participants in health insurance decreased by 4.18% compared to the same period in 2020.

Regarding the implementation of Resolution 116, Deputy General Director Tran Dinh Lieu assessed, basically, Thai Nguyen Social Security Office has met the requirements in terms of progress, and the number of support settlements has reached a relative proportion. However, it is necessary to ensure the quantity and the settlement progress, and pay great attention to the quality requirements. From the practice of the provinces and cities, it is shown that the localities that have done well in reviewing the data, handing over the previous books as well as the book - card work will be convenient; good and standard data helps ensure the implementation process, without having to spend too much time reviewing. The implementation of Resolution 116 is also an opportunity to continue to review and standardize data once again, so it must be guaranteed effective. “In the area of ​​a province, the situation of duplicating books and codes of social and health insurance is prohibited. It is crucial to compare and review carefully, handle outstanding issues, and ensure "clean" data.” Lieu emphasized.

With cases coming from other localities, it is necessary to strengthen coordination with social security agencies of provinces and cities to get the most standard data, as a basis for handling proper and early support for employees. The settlement process with public non-business units also needs to be accelerated. In addition, the Thai Nguyen Social Security Office must take measures to check the implementation at enterprises as well as from employees; catch and prevent early and remotely from possible profiteering acts - directed Lieu./.
