Question: "I am 30 years old, I am a free worker who currently needs to participate in voluntary social insurance." May I ask if free workers like me are subject to voluntary social insurance? Thank you!
Law Department - ACDC advises:
Participants of voluntary social insurance (social insurance) are specified in Clause 4, Article 2 of the Law on social insurance in 2014 and Clause 1, Article 2 of the Government's Decree No. 134/2015/ND-CP of December 29, 2015, Clause 1 Article 2 of the Circular No. 01/2016/TT-BLDTBXH of February 18, 2016 of the Minister of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs detailing and guiding the enforcement of a number of provisions of the Law on Voluntary Social Insurance.
Accordingly, participants of voluntary social insurance are Vietnamese citizens aged full 15 years or older and not subject to compulsory social insurance in accordance with the law on social insurance (not subject to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 2 of the Law on social insurance in 2014), including the following subjects:
