Mr. Chau Thanh Phuc (Ho Chi Minh City) has paid compulsory social insurance (BHXH) since 2009 and left his company in 2021. Because the employer owes BHXH contributions, he has been without work for a long time but has not yet received the one-time social insurance benefit.
Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance stated that, under Clause 3, Article 8 of Decree No. 158/2025/ND-CP on late collection and late payment of compulsory social insurance, employers are responsible for paying in full the compulsory social insurance contributions for employees who are eligible for social insurance benefits, or who resign, have their labor contract terminated, or end their working contract, in order to promptly settle social insurance benefits.
The agency noted that if an employer has not paid in full the compulsory social insurance contributions, the settlement of social insurance benefits should be based on the periods that have actually been paid into BHXH for the employee who is eligible for benefits.
Based on the above regulation, Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance said the company is responsible for paying in full the compulsory social insurance contributions so that the employee’s social insurance benefits can be settled in a timely manner.
Because the submitted question does not include specific information, Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance advised contacting the local Social Insurance unit (the unit where the company currently remits BHXH) for guidance on resolving benefits in accordance with the regulations.
