The e-portal enables individuals and organizations to make online social, unemployment and health insurance transactions, as part of the VSI’s efforts to reform its administrative procedures.

Addressing the ceremony, the Prime Minister applauded the VSI for ensuring welfare through social, health and unemployment insurance policies, and asked it to strive to reduce time to declare taxes, from 235 hours in 2014 to 49.5 hours in 2015, as well as effectively apply IT for benefits to people, businesses and workers.
