Why has Thai Nguyen Social Insurance not resolved the policy for the man with paralyzed legs?

Immediately after the retirement decision, Mr. Tran Binh Hung's family submitted a petition to the People's Committee of Thai Nguyen province and the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs requesting that the missing working time be calculated.

On April 10, 2019, Vice Chairman of Thai Nguyen Provincial People's Committee Trinh Viet Hung (now Secretary of Thai Nguyen Provincial Party Committee) sent a document to the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs requesting to calculate the working time of Mr. Tran Binh Hung.

The document stated that, after considering the proposal of the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, to ensure the rights of workers, the People's Committee of Thai Nguyen province requested the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs to consider and approve the addition of the time from December 1980 to May 1990 with Mr. Tran Binh Hung's later working time to calculate the social insurance regime according to regulations. The time from 1991 to 1996 was unpaid leave so it was not counted.

On December 9, 2020, the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs sent a document to the People's Committee of Thai Nguyen province to clarify the working process, time off waiting for work, salary developments... to specifically propose the calculation of working time before 1995 and compulsory social insurance payment from January 1, 1995 to December 1996 for Mr. Tran Binh Hung.

In case Mr. Hung is determined to be eligible for calculating working time in the state sector before January 1, 1995 to calculate social insurance benefits but there are no original records, it will be implemented according to Clause 3, Article 2 of Decree 89 of the Government and Document 3595 of the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs (Clause 3, Article 2 of Decree 89 of the Government and Document 3595 of the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs guide the calculation of working time for employees who no longer have original records showing working time before January 1, 1995).

However, on December 29, 2022, Thai Nguyen Social Insurance refused to calculate Mr. Tran Binh Hung's working time from 1980 to 1996 because it believed that Mr. Hung had enjoyed the 176 regime.

Up to now, Thai Nguyen Social Insurance has not been able to prove whether Mr. Tran Binh Hung has made a decision to enjoy the 176 regime or not. Mr. Hung has repeatedly submitted requests to Thai Nguyen Social Insurance and Vietnam Social Insurance to respond and resolve in accordance with the social insurance retirement regime.

On March 26, 2024, Vietnam Social Security issued document No. 833 in response to Thai Nguyen Provincial Social Security. Accordingly, based on existing records and legal regulations, Mr. Tran Binh Hung is not allowed to add previous working time to future working time to calculate social insurance benefits.

Mr. Hung said that Thai Nguyen Social Insurance did not fully report his case, so in the document responding to resolve his benefits, Vietnam Social Insurance did not fully understand the case.

After Vietnam Social Security responded, Mr. Hung continued to submit a petition to Vietnam Social Security requesting that this agency protect his legitimate rights.

On April 16, 2024, Vietnam Social Security transferred Mr. Hung's complaint to Thai Nguyen Social Security for settlement according to its authority.

The key to resolving Mr. Hung's regime is to determine whether Mr. Hung has decided to follow regime 176 or not. Up to now, Thai Nguyen Social Insurance has not had enough basis to conclude.

On February 22, 2024, during a regular citizen reception, the then Secretary of the Thai Nguyen Provincial Party Committee, Nguyen Thanh Hai, listened to the reports from the authorities on this matter. She affirmed that "Mr. Tran Binh Hung's complaint is well-founded". Ms. Hai assigned the Party Committee of the Provincial People's Committee and the Party Committee of the Provincial Agencies to direct the Provincial Social Insurance to verify whether Mr. Tran Binh Hung's name was in the decision to receive the 176 regime subsidy or not.

Verification time is 15 days, on that basis, social insurance regime for Mr. Hung will be resolved according to the provisions of law.

In fact, after the direction of the Provincial Party Secretary, the Verification Working Group still could not find the decision to dismiss under the 176 regime with the name of Mr. Tran Binh Hung.

Instead of recognizing the settlement of Mr. Hung's working time extension, Thai Nguyen Social Insurance still affirms that there is not enough basis to settle the working time extension regime.

VietNamNet will continue to inform about this issue.

A man with paraplegia was under-calculated for more than 10 years of his pension? For the past 5 years, Mr. Tran Binh Hung (66 years old, residing in Hoang Van Thu ward, Thai Nguyen city) has been filing complaints everywhere about Thai Nguyen Social Insurance under-calculating his pension for more than 10 years.
