I am an officer at a university in Vietnam. Currently, I am being sent to study abroad. However, at present, I have terminated my studies and have no overseas labor contract, and the university dismissed me from my job and stopped paying social insurance. => My status is currently UNEMPLOYED. Now I want to return to Vietnam but I cannot because there are no commercial flights. May I ask: I am stuck in a foreign country, then can I ask a relative to receive my unemployment benefits instead? As in the regulations, it is only considered for 3 months from the date of unemployment, but will there be any changes in the context of COVID as it takes longer than 3 months to wait for commercial flights to Vietnam?
Clause 2, Section III of Resolution No. 42/NQ-CP dated April 9, 2020 stipulates: “Employees are allowed to send dossiers for unemployment benefits by post, job search is monthly and indirectly noticed (via email, fax, or post, etc.) from April 1, 2020 until the end of the epidemic announcement without having to ask for confirmation from the People's Committees of communes, wards or towns on the epidemic occurring in the area”. Therefore, you may file a dossier for unemployment benefits via mail to ensure the prescribed deadline.
