Level of sickness benefit after more than 180 days of long-term treatment
Point b Clause 2 Article 26 of the 2014 Law on Social Insurance stipulates:
- Employees who take leave due to illness belonging to the List of diseases requiring long-term treatment issued by the Ministry of Health are entitled to the following sickness benefits:
a) A maximum of 180 days including holidays, Tet holidays, and weekly days off;
b) At the end of the period for receiving sickness benefits as stipulated in point a of this clause, if treatment continues, the employee is entitled to further sickness benefits at a lower rate, but the maximum benefit period is equivalent to the period of social insurance contributions.
...
And Clause 2 Article 28 of this Law also stipulates: Employees receiving further sickness benefits as stipulated in point b clause 2 Article 26 of this Law shall receive the benefits as follows:
a) 65% of the social insurance salary of the month immediately preceding the leave if the social insurance contribution has been paid for 30 years or more;
b) 55% of the social insurance salary of the month immediately preceding the leave if the social insurance contribution has been paid for from 15 years to less than 30 years;
c) 50% of the social insurance salary of the month immediately preceding the leave if the social insurance contribution has been paid for less than 15 years.
...
Thus, based on the above-mentioned provisions and referencing your case, since you have participated in the Social Insurance for over 11 years, when the 180-day leave for long-term treatment illness expires, you will receive further sickness benefits at a lower rate (specifically 50% of the social insurance salary of the month immediately preceding the leave), but the maximum benefit period is equivalent to the period of social insurance contributions.
Respectfully!
