In 2016, through monitoring the implementation of policies and regimes for female cadres, civil servants, and part-time workers at the commune level, the Women's Union of Anh Son district discovered that a number of female workers had not yet received maternity leave benefits. In particular, there was no case of a male worker participating in social insurance receiving a one-time subsidy equal to twice the basic salary when his wife gave birth without participating in social insurance.
Based on the findings, the Standing Committee of the District Women's Union directly studied the regulations, processes, and procedures to guide beneficiaries in making records and having the policy resolved. The Women's Union promoted communication within the Union's organizational system; at the same time, it proposed that the District Party Committee's Mass Mobilization Committee include the content of training and conferences for reporters to widely propagate and disseminate the policy to beneficiaries, because through monitoring, people did not know about this policy.
Chairwoman of the Women's Union of Anh Son district, Pham Thi Hong Thao, emphasized: The most important thing is to regularly review and grasp the beneficiaries, guide them to complete the documents and follow up and urge the Social Insurance agency to resolve the regime for the subjects. Cumulative results from 2016 to June 2023, there were 210 cases resolved the post-maternity recuperation regime with a total amount of more than 580 million VND.
