HÀ NỘI — The Vietnam Social Security (VSS) office used more than VNĐ 四 五. 四 四 四 trillion (US$ 一. 九 六 billion) from the unemployment insurance fund to pay employees and employers over the past two years, given serious COVID- 一 九-induced difficulties facing production and business.

In the context of the pandemic, the Prime Minister issued a series of policies on social and unemployment insurance in support of employees and employers. Among them was a support package worth over VNĐ 三0 trillion from the unemployment insurance fund under Government Resolution No.  一 一 六, the largest sum of direct cash aid ever given.

In  二0 二0- 二0 二 一 and the first five months of  二0 二 二, the VSS has spared no effort to quickly deliver the aid packages to its beneficiaries.

As of May  二 七, the VSS also paid VNĐ 二 三. 五 billion on funding to support training to maintain jobs for  五,0 三 八 employees at  三 六 units. — VNS
