Mr. Nguyen Xuan Hung, Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor chaired the press conference.

At the press conference, answering reporters' questions about the progress of reviewing and applying policies and regimes, the General Confederation of Labor said that, according to the synthesis from provincial-level Labor Confederations, up to now, there have been 511 cases that are eligible for benefits according to Resolution 07/2025/NQ-CP dated September 17, 2025 of the Government on policies and regimes for subjects affected by the implementation of organizational restructuring of administrative units at all levels according to Conclusion 183-KL/TW dated August 1, 2025 of the Politburo and Secretariat; policies, regimes, calculation methods and benefit periods for trade union officials working under labor contracts affected by organizational restructuring and implementation of the 2-level local government organization model stated in Article 5 of Resolution No. 07/2025/ND-CP.

However, because Resolution No. 07/2025/ND-CP clearly stipulates that the applicable subjects are those with labor contracts signed before January 15, 2019, there are only 425 cases, the rest are not subject to Resolution No. 07.

The preliminary amount of money spent on these subjects is estimated to be about 400 billion VND. According to current regulations, apart from the above regime, these subjects have not enjoyed any other financial support regime.

Regarding the question about the payment time of the regimes according to Resolution No. 07, which is no later than November 1, 2025, Ms. Ho Thi Kim Ngan, Deputy Head of the Labor Relations Department - Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, said that there are nearly 2 months to implement.

“The time is very urgent because we have to review the records and procedures, ensure the correct identification of the subjects, and calculate correctly and fully according to Resolution No. 07. The General Confederation of Labor will issue instructions very soon to implement the calculation, as well as request the Provincial Labor Federations to issue decisions to terminate labor contracts for cases eligible for early retirement or resignation in October 2025," said Ms. Ho Thi Kim Ngan.

Mr. Nguyen Xuan Hung, Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, added that by the morning of September 20 at the latest, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor will issue implementation instructions. The funding source will be taken from the trade union's finances according to decentralization; the responsibility for implementation is the Standing Committee of the Labor Confederations of provinces and cities, based on the instructions of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, the provisions of Resolution No. 07 will calculate and complete the procedures and documents to pay the right subjects and regulations.
