Social Security Extends Contribution Deadline by 6 Months to Aid Employers and Employees in 9 Flood-Affected Southern Provinces

The Social Security Office has increased support by extending the deadline for contribution payments by six months, easing the burden on employers and workers in nine southern provinces affected by flooding.

Ms. Kanchana Phoolkaew, Secretary-General of the Social Security Office, revealed that due to the severe flooding impacting people and businesses in many areas of southern Thailand, the Social Security Committee on 2 December 2025 approved urgent relief measures to alleviate the burden on employers and insured persons under Sections 33 and 39 in nine affected provinces.
