Reasons opened by social security boards Failure to increase unemployment compensation limit to 75%

After the Social Security Committee (SSO Board) meeting, there was a consensus not to approve. In the case of increasing the unemployment compensation limit for affected policyholders from 62% of salary to 75% as previously reported

On May 12, 2020, Dr. Duangrit Benjathikulchairungruang, Deputy Minister of Labor Reveal said case in the list of direct questions With the Kwankhwan that In this regard, the Minister of Labor will speak with the SSO Board and, when the conclusion, details will be announced again.

Initially, social security payments will be paid to registered employees and employers no later than May 15, 2020.

The Social Security Office has already paid 568,604 registered insurers and the payment is expected to rise to more than 700,000 on May 14, according to the plan.

In addition to having outstanding payments After this, the Social Security Office will pay the insured person at the end of each month. So that the insurer knows the exact date of receipt of the money AND capable of being used to manage life

As for the idea of ​​using old money as a remedy “Covid-19” Or not, agree to bring this idea to the social security board AND confirm that Right now, the budget to pay as unemployment compensation is sufficient, liquidity can please everyone.

While Mr. Thawee Yingying, Chairman of the Federation of the Organization of Private Industry Employees AND the Social Security Committee He spoke of the case that the Minister of Labor did not bring the matter to the cabinet meeting and felt relief But I am not sure if I will bring this story to the cabinet again or not.

The Social Security Office has good hopes for workers who are in trouble. But social security funds have both employees and employers. Currently, Social Security has money to pay unemployment compensation is 1.6 billion.

If applied without knowing it, it will cause capital problems in the future. If you count from January to the present It was discovered that more than 500,000 people fired, if they are adjusted to 75%, in the future more people will be fired, they will not have enough money.
