1 What is Social Insurance?
Social insurance is a form of income protection that replaces or supplements a portion of an employee’s income in the event of illness, maternity, work-related injury, occupational disease, old age, or disability. It is based on contributions to a social insurance fund and is state-protected to ensure social security and the well-being of individuals and their families.

Checking Your Social Insurance Number on Your Health Insurance Card
Alternatively, you can find your social insurance number on your health insurance card. Specifically, the last 10 digits of your health insurance card number are also your personal identification number for both health and social insurance. Each employee has a unique set of digits, which is their social insurance number.
– Starting from April 1, 2021, a new version of the health insurance card will come into effect nationwide. Notably, the card number will only have 10 digits instead of the current 15 digits, and these 10 digits will also be the social insurance number.
– This will reduce the number of digits that participants need to declare when making inquiries or when applying for health insurance or requesting a replacement or exchange of the card. Check the cost of health insurance treatments covered by Vietnam Social Insurance on their Public Service Portal.

Checking the Cover of Your Social Insurance Booklet
Previously, the employer kept the social insurance booklet. However, since January 1, 2016, when the 2014 Social Insurance Law took effect, employees have the obligation to keep their booklets (according to Article 19, Clause 3). The cover of the booklet contains your social security number, so if you have it, simply check the cover. This is the easiest way to find this number.
