From June 15, 2023, individuals who register the death of a deceased person in cases 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 above and request the Social Insurance agency to resolve the funeral allowance or in case 6 above will have the competent authority transfer the Death Certificate Extract on the National Public Service Portal via the Interconnected Public Service software to the Social Insurance agency to issue a Decision to stop receiving monthly death benefits. On that basis, the Social Insurance agency will resolve the funeral allowance or the procedure to stop receiving monthly death benefits for these cases according to regulations.
In addition, Vietnam Social Security has completed the interconnected administrative procedure "Birth registration - permanent residence registration - Health insurance card issuance for children under 6 years old", effective from July 1, 2023, ready to be deployed nationwide.
Accordingly, parents/guardians/relatives of children under 6 years old only need to fully and accurately declare the Electronic Declaration for birth registration, permanent residence registration and issuance of Health Insurance cards for children under 6 years old according to the form on the National Public Service Portal.
After receiving the electronic records from the Public Service Interconnection software, the Social Insurance agency will process and resolve them according to regulations. For valid records, the time to issue a Health Insurance card for children under 6 years old is no more than 2 working days from the date of receiving the electronic copy of the birth certificate and information and electronic data from the Public Service Interconnection software.
The electronic interconnection of the two groups of administrative procedures "Birth registration - permanent residence registration - Health insurance card issuance for children under 6 years old", "Death registration - Permanent residence cancellation - Funeral allowance" is very important. This implementation brings benefits to people in reducing time and travel costs when only needing to do it once but can handle 3 accompanying administrative procedures. At the same time, it helps state agencies, especially the Vietnam Social Security sector, improve management efficiency, service quality, ensure the rights of participants and beneficiaries of Social Insurance and Health Insurance policies such as: reducing costs of printing documents, settlement results, time of document circulation; overcoming the situation of incorrect information, falsifying documents, simplifying administrative procedures...
