The Ministry of Home Affairs has responded to the opinions of some localities related to allowances for concurrently holding non-specialized positions at the commune level, in villages, and residential groups for commune-level cadres and civil servants when implementing the 2-level local government model.
The Ministry of Home Affairs said that based on the provisions of Resolution No. 76/2025/UBTVQH15 of the National Assembly on arranging administrative units in 2025, commune-level cadres and civil servants are allowed to retain their current position allowances (including part-time allowances) enjoyed by commune-level cadres and civil servants affected by the arrangement of administrative units but are still commune-level cadres and civil servants for 6 months from the time of the assignment document.
Implementing Official Dispatch No. 12/CV-BCĐ of the Steering Committee for arranging administrative units and building a 2-level local government model of the Government, after the above 6-month period, commune-level cadres and civil servants are not allowed to continue to receive allowances for concurrently holding the title of non-specialized commune-level personnel.
In case commune-level cadres and civil servants concurrently hold non-specialized positions in villages and residential groups, they are entitled to concurrent position allowances according to the regulations of the Provincial People's Council and relevant laws.
According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, implementing Decision No. 1589/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Home Affairs is assigned to develop a draft Decree regulating the organization and operation of villages and residential groups and regimes and policies for non-specialized workers in villages and residential groups. Accordingly, the Ministry of Home Affairs has issued a document requesting localities to summarize and evaluate the implementation of regulations on the organization and operation of villages and residential groups and regimes and policies for non-specialized workers in villages and residential groups.
Based on reports from localities, the Ministry of Home Affairs is urgently summarizing and evaluating the organizational and operational situation of villages and residential groups and the implementation of regimes and policies for non-specialized workers in villages and residential groups.
From there, it serves as a basis for developing a draft Decree regulating the organization and operation of villages and residential groups and regimes and policies for non-specialized workers in villages and residential groups to submit to the Government for consideration and decision, associated with the roadmap to extend the use of non-specialized workers in accordance with the time of rearranging villages and residential groups (before May 31, 2026) in accordance with Conclusion No. 163-KL/TW of the Politburo and the Secretariat.
