Over the years, Kim Boi district's social security sector has continuously innovated and adopted digital technology to improve its services. Marking its 30th anniversary (1995-2025), the sector has made significant strides in strengthening the social security system.
In Kim Boi, digital transformation efforts, such as the VssID app and pension payments via bank accounts, have improved service accessibility and efficiency.
The VssID app allows users to replace traditional paper health insurance cards with a digital version, providing quick access to personal insurance information, medical history, and claim procedures. By February 2025, more than 15,600 people in the district had installed the app.
Pension and social insurance benefits are also increasingly paid through personal bank accounts, reducing the need for direct cash transactions. As of early 2025, 739 pensioners and beneficiaries or 31.6% of total recipients had opted for ATM-based payments.
In addition to expanding digital services, the district social security sector has streamlined administrative procedures, reducing paperwork and improving service delivery.
By February, 5,728 people had been enrolled in social insurance, including 4,485 under mandatory schemes and 1,243 under voluntary plans. The local health insurance coverage had reached 97.09% of the population.
With digital applications and modern payment methods, the sector is committed to improving service quality, enhancing administrative transparency, and raising public awareness of the importance of social insurance in maintaining sustainable social security.
