On June 20, 2025, the Steering Committee for the arrangement of administrative units at all levels and the development of a model of organizing local government at both levels issued Official Letter 12/CV-BCD in 2025, providing specific instructions as follows:
- In case a non-professional worker at the commune level wishes to retire immediately from the implementation of the 2-level local government model, he/she will enjoy the regime and policies according to the provisions of Decree 154/2025/ND-CP.
- In case the local Party Committee and government at the commune level has a need to use and the non-professional workers at the old commune level wish to continue working, the local Party Committee and government will consider and temporarily arrange them to the position of work support for the operation of the political system of the new commune-level administrative unit (party agency, Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations, local government) or participate in the positions of non-professional workers in the village or residential group before May 31, 2026 and continue to receive allowances, regimes and policies issued by the Provincial People's Council.
During this time, if part-time workers at the commune level quit their jobs, they will enjoy the regime and policies according to the provisions of Decree 154/2025/ND-CP.
Thus, in case a non-professional activist at the commune level retires immediately from the implementation of the 2-level local government model, he/she will enjoy the regime and policies according to the provisions of Decree 154/2025/ND-CP.
