On 20/8, Social Insurance of Ho Chi Minh City announced its coordination with regional People's Procuracies to review and engage with entities that have delayed social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance payments in the area.
To date, 5,880 entities have been invited for meetings. Among these, over 1,800 businesses have fully or partially settled their overdue payments, amounting to over 145 billion VND.
During these meetings, representatives from Social Insurance and the People's Procuracy explained employer responsibilities. They urged the entities to develop clear plans and promptly rectify their overdue payments.
The involvement of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Procuracy is mandated by Resolution 205/2025/QH15 of the National Assembly. This resolution pilots the People's Procuracy's authority to initiate civil lawsuits to protect the civil rights of vulnerable groups or public interests. Social Insurance and the People's Procuracy have also formalized their collaboration through a signed coordination regulation.

Ho Chi Minh City still faces 6,200 billion VND in delayed insurance payments
According to Social Insurance of Ho Chi Minh City, as of 31/7, the total amount of delayed social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance payments across the city was approximately 6,200 billion VND. This figure represents 3,9% of the planned collection target.
Entities with delayed payments, either in amount or duration, that adversely affect employee benefits are prioritized for these coordinated efforts.
Social Insurance of Ho Chi Minh City noted that some entities have not fully cooperated. This list of non-compliant entities will continue to be publicly disclosed and updated across mass media and the industry's official communication channels.
Failure to attend scheduled meetings does not absolve a business of its obligation to pay social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance, nor its responsibility to ensure employee benefits. Information for entities that rectify their payments after being listed will be promptly updated and adjusted.
Looking ahead, both agencies will continue to review entities with delayed payments, monitor their rectification progress, and either directly process or recommend that competent authorities handle cases exhibiting signs of violation.
