On July 10, Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee said that the Provincial People's Committee has just issued a decision approving targeted additions from the provincial budget to the budgets of communes and wards to implement the policy of streamlining staff for non-specialized personnel according to Decree No. 154/2025/ND-CP of the Government, phase 3 of 2026.
According to the decision, the total additional funding in this phase is more than 30.057 billion VND, allocated from the salary reform fund of the provincial budget.
This funding is to supplement resources for the commune-level budget to implement regimes and policies for non-specialized personnel subject to streamlining according to regulations.
The Provincial People's Committee emphasized that this is not a decision approving the total funding needs or the list of beneficiaries, but only supplementing resources for localities. The list of beneficiaries, conditions, level of benefit and specific payment amount are approved by the Chairman of the commune-level People's Committee according to his authorized authority.
This allocation phase has 25 communes and wards supplemented with funds. In which, some localities are allocated at high levels such as: Hop Tien commune more than 3.37 billion VND, Xuan Hoa commune more than 2.64 billion VND, Linh Toai commune more than 2.31 billion VND, Hoang Son commune nearly 1.98 billion VND, Dien Quang commune nearly 1.95 billion VND, Cam Thach commune nearly 1.86 billion VND.
In the opposite direction, some localities have lower supplementation levels such as Yen Tho commune more than 40.4 million VND, Trung Chinh commune nearly 158 million VND, Cong Chinh commune more than 348 million VND.
The Provincial People's Committee requests communes and wards to use local salary reform funds combined with additional provincial budget funds to pay benefits to subjects promptly and in accordance with regulations, and at the same time manage and use funds for the right purpose, publicly and transparently, without allowing losses, waste or group interests to occur.
Before payment, the Chairman of the Commune-level People's Committee must organize a review of all dossiers, and only make payments when the dossier and approval decision are legal. In case of detecting wrong subjects, wrong conditions or wrong benefit levels, it must be promptly adjusted, recovered and paid to the state budget according to regulations.
This is the third funding phase in 2026 of Thanh Hoa to implement the policy of streamlining staff for non-specialized personnel according to Decree No. 154/2025/ND-CP, in the context that the province is continuing to arrange the organizational structure and administrative units after implementing the two-level local government model.
Before this allocation, Thanh Hoa had implemented 2 phases of budget supplementation for communes and wards to solve the policy of streamlining staff for non-specialized personnel according to Decree No. 154.
In phase 2, the provincial budget supplemented with a target of more than 62.4 billion VND for 39 communes and wards. The funding source is taken from the salary reform fund of the provincial budget.
