Provinces and cities have policies to support people who quit their jobs in villages and residential groups after arrangement
Some localities have their own support policies for non-specialized workers in villages and residential groups who quit their jobs due to arrangement.
According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, after arrangement, the number of villages and residential groups nationwide decreased from 89,589 to 48,078 (down 41,511 units, equivalent to a decrease of 46.33%).
After implementing the arrangement and reorganization of villages and residential groups, some non-specialized workers had to quit their positions and resign.
In addition to the general policy of the Central Government, some localities have proactively issued separate support policies for cases of resignation due to staff restructuring and consolidation.
In Hanoi, on October 28, 2026, the City People's Council approved a Resolution stipulating a one-time support policy for non-specialized workers in villages and residential groups who resign from their positions due to restructuring, consolidating, and improving the quality of staff when rearranging and reorganizing villages and residential groups in 2026.
Accordingly, the policy applies to people currently holding positions before July 1, 2026 and terminates from holding positions from this time according to the plan to restructure and consolidate the team approved by competent authorities.
Some cases of continuing to perform tasks or being temporarily arranged after July 1, 2026 are also considered if they are relieved of their titles according to the consolidation plan within 60 days from the date the resolution takes effect.
The Resolution does not apply to people who are directly redundant due to the arrangement and reorganization of villages and residential groups subject to policy settlement according to Decree No. 154/2025/ND-CP.
The support level is calculated based on working time, current allowance level and retirement time. People who meet the conditions on age, education level and expertise are entitled to 100% of the support level calculated according to regulations; the remaining cases are entitled to 50%.
