Many people are still confused about whether their social insurance benefits will be affected when they transition from the old identification card to the new chip-based card. If you have the same question, let’s explore the answer with Bach Hoa XANH!

1. Does the new chip-based card affect social insurance benefits?

Will the switch to the new chip-based card impact social insurance benefits? Read on to find out.

According to Vietnam Social Security, the transition from the old identification card to the new chip-based card will not affect social insurance benefits. Article 27 of Official Dispatch No. 2089/VBHN-BHXH states that the reissue of social insurance books only applies in cases of loss or damage, consolidation or change of book number, change of name or date of birth, or for those who have received social insurance benefits once but still have unemployment insurance contributions remaining.

Although a reissue of the social insurance book is not necessary, individuals are advised to complete the Declaration Form (TK1 – TS) to adjust and supplement the identification number for data consistency in the system.

This form can be submitted to the individual’s place of work or directly to the social insurance agency if they have left their job but wish to retain their social insurance contributions.

Frequently asked questions

No, switching to smart chip-enabled citizen ID cards will not affect your social insurance benefits. Your social insurance information is safely stored in a centralized database, which can be accessed using your new citizen ID card.

The new citizen ID card contains a secure smart chip that stores your personal information, including your name, date of birth, and social insurance number. This information can be read by authorized devices, such as card readers or ATMs, to verify your identity and provide access to government services.

The new citizen ID card offers enhanced security and protection against identity theft and fraud. It also provides a more convenient and efficient way to access government services, as you no longer need to carry multiple cards or remember different PINs and passwords.

You can apply for a new citizen ID card at your local government office or online through the official government website. You will need to provide your current ID card and any other required documentation, such as proof of address or citizenship.

If you lose your new citizen ID card, you should report it to the authorities immediately. You can then apply for a replacement card at your local government office or online. It is important to keep your personal information secure and to avoid identity theft.
