Through checking and reviewing the records, the Social Insurance Department of Hoang Mai town found some suspicious issues such as: Ms. Tam's social insurance participation period was exactly 6 months before giving birth (entitled to maternity benefits according to the Law on Social Insurance); Ms. Tam's labor contract termination was 2 months before her maternity leave.

It is known that if Ms. Tam's file is approved, the Social Insurance agency will pay Ms. Nguyen Thi Tam the maternity allowance of 32.4 million VND.
