People who withdraw social insurance at one time will receive inflation compensation from February 28.

(Dan Tri) - People who withdraw their social insurance (SI) benefits one time before February 28 will receive inflation compensation when Circular 01/2025/TT-BLDTBXH regulating the adjustment of salary and monthly income for SI contributions takes effect.

Who gets inflation compensation?

The one-time social insurance benefit level of employees is determined based on the social insurance payment period and the average monthly salary/income of the employee for social insurance payment.

The monthly salary/income for social insurance contributions of employees is the absolute amount but is multiplied by the adjustment level of salary and monthly income for social insurance contributions (also known as the inflation coefficient) to compensate for the depreciation rate of money over time.

When calculating the inflation coefficient at the time of one-time social insurance withdrawal procedures, the average monthly salary/income for social insurance contributions of employees will be higher than the actual amount used as the basis for social insurance participation that they have paid.

Every year, the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs issues a circular regulating the adjustment level of salary and monthly income for which social insurance has been paid.

The adjustment level of salary and monthly income for social insurance contributions in 2025 is stipulated in Circular No. 01/2025/TT-BLDTBXH issued on January 10, 2025.

The above adjustment level is applied to cases of calculating pensions, receiving one-time social insurance benefits, one-time death benefits... in the period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.

However, Circular No. 01 will not take effect until February 28. Therefore, cases of processing one-time social insurance benefit applications from January 1 to before February 28 will not have the price index added.

Since Circular No. 01/2025/TT-BLDTBXH takes effect, the Social Insurance agency will pay an additional difference after calculating the inflation coefficient for one-time social insurance beneficiaries from January 1 to before February 28. This amount is often called inflation compensation by employees.

For employees who complete procedures to receive one-time social insurance benefits from February 28, the amount withdrawn from one-time social insurance will be calculated with an additional inflation coefficient, and there is no need to pay additional inflation compensation as in cases of withdrawal from January 1 to before February 28.

The highest adjustment increase is 5.63 times

According to Circular No. 01/2025/TT-BLDTBXH, monthly salary for which social insurance has been paid is adjusted according to the following formula:
