Changing Business Location: Is It Necessary to Transfer the Social Insurance Management Authority?

In Official Dispatch 1366/BHXH-THU of 2011, it is stipulated:

1.1. No later than the 15th of the last month before relocation, the unit shall prepare a list of increases and decreases (form A1a-TS, D02-TS, etc.) to submit to the Social Insurance Agency of the departure location.

1.2. Retrieve the valid health insurance cards and submit them to the Social Insurance Agency of the departure location before the 5th of the reduction month; if the cards are not returned, an additional list of the remaining valid cards must be prepared.

1.3. Fully settle social insurance and health insurance payments by the month of relocation, complete the finalization procedures, and submit the documents for policy resolution for employees at the Social Insurance Agency of the departure location up to the point of relocation.

1.4. Promptly register for social insurance and health insurance immediately in the following month at the Social Insurance Agency of the destination location (submit registration documents immediately, and pay the first month's social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance to get health insurance cards for employees); do not wait to resolve outstanding issues with the former Social Insurance Agency.

=> Thus, according to the above regulations, businesses relocating their head office from one district to another must carry out the procedures to change their managing Social Insurance Agency.

Respectfully.
