According to Lawyer Tran Tuan Anh, Clause 1, Article 19 of Decree 88/2024/ND-CP stipulates the level of support for stabilizing life when the State reclaims land.
For households and individuals using agricultural land that are eligible for land compensation, they will be supported to stabilize their lives as follows:
Recovering 30-70% of the agricultural land area in use will be supported for 6 months if there is no need to relocate and for 12 months if there is a need to relocate. In case of having to move to an area with difficult socio-economic conditions or with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions, the maximum support period is 24 months.
In case of recovery of over 70% of the agricultural land area in use, support will be provided for 12 months if there is no need to relocate and for 24 months if there is a need to relocate; in case of having to move to an area with difficult socio-economic conditions or with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions, the maximum support period will be 36 months;
The area of agricultural land recovered to calculate the cost of living stabilization support prescribed in Point a of this Clause is the area within the commune, ward, or town where the land is recovered at the time of the decision approving the compensation, support, and resettlement plan and is determined according to each project that must be recovered by the People's Committee at the competent level, without accumulating the area of agricultural land recovered from previous land recovery projects;
The level of support for a person specified in Point a and Point b of this Clause is calculated in cash equivalent to 30 kg of rice in 1 month according to the average price at the time of support of the locality.
According to Lawyer Tran Tuan Anh, compared to the above regulation, the support level for a person whose agricultural land is recovered for 30% or more in the case specified above will be supported in cash equivalent to 30 kg of rice in 1 month according to the average price at the time of support of the locality.
In addition, in the case of households and individuals using land under the above regulations, less than 30% of the agricultural land area in use will be recovered.
Or households and individuals who are using land that is not eligible for land compensation or due to receiving land allocation for agricultural, forestry, aquaculture, and salt production purposes from state-owned farms, forestry farms or agricultural and forestry companies converted from state-owned farms, agricultural production groups, and agricultural cooperatives and have land use allocation contracts, the Provincial People's Committee shall decide on the support level, support period, and periodic payment of support for each specific case but not exceeding the above support level (according to Clause 2, Article 19 of Decree 88/2024/ND-CP).
