How to Notify Social Security When an Employee Resigns 

When an employee resigns or ceases to be insured, the employer must report the termination of insured status using Form SSO 6-09 by the 15th of the following month. The notification can be submitted at a Social Security Office or through the e-Service system.

 

Why Is Reporting the Termination of Social Security Coverage Important?

Reporting the termination of social security coverage, or the end of insured status, is an important employer obligation when an employee insured under Section 33 leaves employment, as required by the Social Security Act B.E. 2533 (1990). This helps prevent errors and confusion in Social Security Office operations. Delayed registration or termination reports by employers can leave the database outdated, delay benefits for insured persons, and potentially cause the Social Security Office to overpay medical service fees to healthcare facilities.

 

To prevent these problems, the Social Security Act B.E. 2533 (1990) stipulates that employers who intentionally evade, delay, or fail to comply may face legal action, including imprisonment for up to six months, a fine of up to THB 20,,000, or both imprisonment and a fine.

 

When Must an Employer Report an Employee’s Termination of Social Security Coverage?

The Social Security Act B.E. 2533 (1990) requires employers to report the termination of social security coverage when an employee resigns or leaves employment for any other reason. The employer must submit the Notification of Termination of Insured Status (Form SSO 6-09), state the reason for leaving, and complete the process no later than the 15th of the following month.

Important Considerations When Reporting Termination

When reporting termination of social security coverage, employers must provide accurate facts about why the insured status ended. The Social Security Act B.E. 2533 (1990) specifies seven reasons for termination:

 

• Resignation / absence from duty while contacting the employer within six consecutive working days
• End of employment contract
• Termination / early retirement program
• Retirement
• Dismissal / removal / termination for misconduct / absence from duty without contacting the employer for seven consecutive working days
• Death
• Branch transfer

 

Employers should be aware that providing false information, such as falsely reporting a resignation, may be an offense punishable by imprisonment for up to six months, a fine of up to THB 20,000, or both.

 

Summary: How to Report Social Security Termination When an Employee Resigns

When an employee insured under Section 33 leaves employment, the employer must report the termination to the Social Security Office by the 15th of the following month. The report can be submitted at a Social Security Office or through the e-Service system. Employers who intentionally evade, delay, or falsely report the reason for termination may face legal action. Employers should therefore pay close attention to procedures related to employees’ social security rights to protect the benefits legally available to insured persons.
