The Ministry of Home Affairs has just sent an official dispatch to ministries, ministerial-level agencies, and People's Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities on the implementation of the State Audit's opinions related to resolving policies and regimes according to Decree No. 178/2024/ND-CP (amended and supplemented in Decree No. 67/2025/ND-CP).
The Ministry of Home Affairs requests ministries, agencies, and localities to conduct a comprehensive review and be responsible for the results of policy settlement for cases where localities have decided to dismiss them according to the provisions of Decree No. 178/2024/ND-CP (amended and supplemented in Decree No. 67/2025/ND-CP), ensuring the right subjects, in the correct order and procedures according to the provisions of this Decree.
Reports from Ministries, agencies, and localities should be sent to the Ministry of Home Affairs before September 15, 2026 for the Ministry of Home Affairs to summarize and report to the Prime Minister for consideration and decision.
According to data released by the Ministry of Home Affairs at the end of October 2025, the whole country had 146,847 people resigning, of which 146,836 people (equivalent to 99.99%) received policy money. Among these, 71,610 people retired early, 75,237 people resigned.
On July 31, the State Audit Office issued Report No. 1212/BC-KTNN on the audit results of the implementation of policies and regimes for cadres, civil servants, public employees and laborers in implementing the arrangement of the organizational structure of the political system according to Decree No. 178/2024/ND-CP and Decree No. 67/2025/ND-CP.
The report was prepared based on sample audits at a number of ministries, central and local agencies.
The State Audit Office noted that the review, identification of subjects and development of personnel arrangement plans are basically carried out synchronously by ministries, branches, and localities with the process of arranging the apparatus. Many units also proactively allocate resources, guide procedures, and resolve regimes for eligible people.
From the perspective of post-inspection of policy implementation, the audit also points out some issues that need to be considered and handled.
According to reports, some agencies and localities have not fully completed the criteria or evaluation procedures to serve as a basis for selecting retirees; some places have not conducted a comprehensive review of staff quality before identifying subjects.
In the appraisal and approval stage, the audit agency believes that in some cases, the identification of subjects is not consistent with the guidance, the dossiers are incomplete or there are not enough grounds to prove that the person being resolved for policy is subject to retirement due to arrangement.
The report also mentioned a number of cases of officials being approved for resignation even though the assessment results in previous years showed that they completed their tasks well. The State Audit Office believes that the resolution of resignation for these cases is not in accordance with the guidance of the Ministry of Home Affairs, posing a risk of not being the right subjects.
In addition to identifying subjects, the State Audit also identified a number of units that calculated and paid benefits inaccurately.
The issues raised include incorrectly determining some items in salary as the basis for calculating benefits; overcalculating or inaccurately calculating some allowances; incorrectly determining the benefit period or social insurance contribution period; and inappropriate use of funds.
The report also recorded cases where payments were detected to the wrong beneficiaries but the funds were not fully recovered, as well as cases where people who had been approved for retirement continued to receive salaries and social security policies during the same period.
