Can I withdraw social insurance when a relative dies in an accident?

Regarding this issue, Vietnam Social Security informs as follows:

Article 69 of the 2014 Law on Social Insurance stipulates that in cases where an employee dies, relatives are entitled to a one-time death benefit as follows:

1. The deceased worker does not fall into the following cases:

a) Having paid social insurance for 15 years or more but not yet received a one-time social insurance benefit;

b) Receiving pension;

c) Death due to work accident or occupational disease;

d) Currently receiving monthly occupational accident and disease benefits with a working capacity reduction of 61% or more.

2. The deceased employee falls into one of the cases specified in Point 1 above but has no relatives to receive monthly pension.

3. Relatives who are eligible for monthly survivor benefits and wish to receive a one-time survivor benefit, except for children under 6 years old, children or spouses whose working capacity is reduced by 81% or more.

In your brother's case, if he participated in compulsory social insurance for 11 months and died due to an accident, but not a work accident, his relatives will receive a one-time death benefit.

The benefit level as prescribed in Clause 1, Article 70 of the 2014 Law on Social Insurance is 3 months of the average monthly salary for social insurance contribution.

The average monthly salary for social insurance payment as the basis for calculating one-time death benefits is implemented according to the provisions of Article 62 of the Law on Social Insurance.
