Ms. Pham Thi Hien (character's name has been changed), a part-time officer of the office of a Ward Party Committee, said that she worked from March 2012 to November 2023 for a total of 11 years, of which she paid social insurance from July 2016.
From November 2023 to May 2024, due to giving birth and poor health, Ms. Hien applied for a leave of absence from work and had not received a one-time social insurance regime.
In June 2024, she returned to work as Vice President of the Ward Fatherland Front and worked until July 2025. When the locality implemented the two-level model, Ms. Hien expressed her wish to resign from July 1, 2025.
Ms. Hien hopes to have the Ministry of Home Affairs guide her on calculating the total working time according to Decree No. 154/2025/ND-CP. "Will the total period from March 2012 to November 2023 and from May 2024 to July 2025 be accumulated into 12 years of work to calculate the allowance?" - Ms. Hien wondered.
Regarding Ms. Hien's reflection and recommendation, the Ministry of Home Affairs has responded on the Electronic Information Portal.
According to Article 5 of Decree No. 154/2025/ND-CP, the working time to be considered for a subsidy for part-time workers at the commune level is the total working time in the title of part-time workers at the commune level and the working time with compulsory social insurance payment but not yet receiving a one-time insurance subsidy.
Accordingly, the 12-year period of working in the title of non-professional person at the commune level of the above citizen is counted for the allowance according to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 9 of Decree No. 154/2025/ND-CP.
