Social Insurance Claims in Vietnam
Comprehensive guide to claiming your one-off social insurance payment
Eligibility Criteria
You Can Claim If:
- Your employment contract has been terminated without renewal
- Your work permit has expired and won't be renewed
- You've reached retirement age but haven't contributed enough for full entitlements
- You're suffering from specific serious diseases
Payment Calculation
Formula for One-off Payment
Payment = Average Monthly SI Salary × Number of Years Contributed × 2
Calculation Details
- Average Monthly SI Salary = Total SI Salary ÷ Number of Contributing Months
- For less than one year's contribution, special calculations apply
- For employees who participate in the SI program for one year or more:
- If the contribution period is from 1 to 6 months, it is counted as half a year
- If the contribution period is from 7 to 11 months, it is counted as one year
- For employees who participate in the SI program for less than one year, the estimated claimed amount is 22% of the average monthly SI salary multiplied by the number of months of contributed SI. The total received amount will not exceed two months of the average SI salary.
- All contributions are considered in the final calculation
