Responding to reflections on long-term leave without receiving benefits due to company social insurance debt

Sending a question to the Social Insurance agency, Mr. C.T. P (HCMC) said that he paid social insurance from 2009, and retired in 2021.

Because the company owes social insurance money, he has quit his job for a long time but has not yet received a one-time social insurance benefit.

Mr. P. asked, what do you need to do to enjoy social insurance benefits? Is the old company owing social insurance money entitled to continuous addition?

Regarding this issue, Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance answers as follows:

Based on Clause 3, Article 8 of Decree No. 158/2025/ND-CP stipulating the collection and payment of compulsory social insurance:

Employers are responsible for paying the full amount of compulsory social insurance payable as prescribed in Clause 1, Article 40 and Clause 1, Article 41 of the Law on Social Insurance for employees who are eligible for social insurance or resign, terminate labor contracts, working contracts to promptly resolve social insurance benefits for employees.

In case the employer has not paid enough money to pay compulsory social insurance, the social insurance regime is resolved based on the time of social insurance contribution for employees who are eligible for social insurance benefits...".

In comparison with the above regulations, the company is responsible for paying the full amount of compulsory social insurance to promptly resolve social insurance benefits for employees.

However, because the content of his question did not clearly state information, it is requested that he contact the grassroots social insurance agency (where the company is deducting and paying social insurance) to be guided on resolving benefits according to regulations.
