Mr. Pham Van Hung (character's name has been changed) is a retired military officer in 2018. In March 2019, Mr. Hung participated in local work and was elected as additional Vice Chairman of the Ward Veterans Association for the 2017-2022 term from March 2019 to March 2022.
At the 2022-2027 term congress, Mr. Hung was elected as Chairman of the Ward Veterans Association, currently receiving a salary of 2.34, with a responsibility allowance of 0.15.
"I have to retire from the association from July 1, 2025 due to administrative unit arrangement. Am I entitled to any support policies when I retire?" - Mr. Hung wondered.
Regarding Mr. Hung's reflection and recommendation, the Ministry of Home Affairs responded on the Electronic Information Portal.
