A faction on the Social Security Office board (ทีมประกันสังคมก้าวหน้า) says the outgoing board has a 19 October meeting agenda to approve a 2026 budget of over 2 billion baht, build a 38 million baht building, and write off 29 million baht of employer unpaid contributions. They argue the new board, elected on 11 October, should decide instead. The dispute is political and not yet settled. For employers, the practical point is that unpaid social security contributions may be forgiven, but nothing is confirmed. Keep paying on time and watch the outcome of the meeting.
