The report of the Ministry of Home Affairs stated that in the process of implementing Decree No. 178, it received many opinions from ministries, agencies at the central and local levels, recommendations and proposals related to the scope and subjects of the Decree.

On that basis, the Ministry of Home Affairs reported to the Government Party Committee. Then, the Government Party Committee reported to the Politburo to expand the scope and subjects of application of Decree No. 178. Up to now, the Politburo has agreed to adjust the scope and subjects of application of policies and regimes for cadres, civil servants, public employees, workers and armed forces in implementing the reorganization of the political system.

In the draft, the scope of regulation has been revised and supplemented to implement the conclusions of the Politburo. Specifically, the administrative organizations of agencies and organizations from the central to district levels are expanded to directly implement the organizational arrangement or not directly implement the organizational arrangement but implement the streamlining of the payroll and restructuring, improving the quality of cadres and civil servants.

Public service units under the organizational structure of the advisory and support agencies of the Central Executive Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat; of ministries, branches, and central agencies; of the provincial People's Committees and specialized agencies under the provincial People's Committees and district People's Committees do not directly carry out the organizational arrangement but carry out the streamlining of staff and restructuring, improving the quality of civil servants.

Agencies, organizations, units, cadres and civil servants at the commune level are reorganized into administrative units at all levels; Associations assigned by the Party and State from the central to district levels are directly responsible for reorganizing, consolidating and merging their apparatus.

The Draft Decree also amended and supplemented the subjects of application, including: Cadres, civil servants, public employees, contract workers receiving salaries from the state budget according to the provisions of labor law before January 15, 2019 and armed forces from 5 years old and under to retirement age in agencies, organizations and units that are not directly affected by the reorganization of the apparatus but must streamline the payroll, restructure and improve the quality of cadres, civil servants and public employees.

Expand the scope of work to include people working within the payroll quota and receiving salaries from the state budget at associations assigned by the Party and State at the central and local levels due to the direct impact of the implementation of arrangement, consolidation and merger.

Cadres who are not old enough to be re-elected or re-appointed as prescribed in Decree No. 177/2024/ND-CP dated December 31, 2024 of the Government; cadres who are old enough to be re-elected or re-appointed to the same-level Party Committee, whose working time from the date of the congress organization is from 2.5 years (30 months) to 5 years (60 months) until the retirement age prescribed in Decree No. 177 and cadres who are participating in Party Committees in Party Committees must end their activities and consolidate their organizational apparatus, have 5 years (60 months) or less until retirement age, and wish to retire early to create conditions for arranging Party Committee personnel in Party Congresses at all levels leading up to the 14th National Congress of the Party.

In the process of reorganizing the apparatus, especially the merged and consolidated agencies, the number of leaders and managers of the agencies after the reorganization is much higher than the regulations. Therefore, to facilitate the arrangement of leaders and managers to ensure the number in accordance with the provisions of law and create conditions for young cadres to have the opportunity to develop, the Ministry of Home Affairs proposes to add the following regulation: "Civil servants, leaders and managers in agencies, organizations and units under the organizational structure of agencies wishing to retire before the age to create favorable conditions in implementing the reorganization of the apparatus of the political system".

Regarding amendments and supplements to local additional support policies, the Ministry of Home Affairs said that currently, a number of localities have issued Resolutions of the Provincial People's Council on additional support policies for subjects that have been resolved according to the provisions of this Decree with very large differences in support levels. Some provinces support 100%, some provinces support 10%, some provinces support with an absolute maximum amount of 300 million VND/person...

Therefore, to ensure the correlation of policies and regimes between the Central and local levels, and between localities, it is proposed to stipulate the additional support policy of localities at a maximum of 30%, according to the level of enjoyment in Decree 178.

According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, in Submission No. 8540 dated December 28, 2024, this agency has planned to reduce about 20% of the payroll, equivalent to 100,528 people (excluding health and education civil servants) with a budget of about 130 trillion VND from the state budget. Accordingly, the budget planned to be allocated from the state budget is expected to be allocated from the state budget to meet the expansion of the scope and subjects of application of Decree No. 178 mentioned above.
