Regulations on staff streamlining allowances for Heads of Fatherland Front Work Committees who are receiving pensions

Reader asks: I retired early according to Decree 178/2024/ND-CP from June 1, 2025 and received a pension. After that, I worked as Head of the Quarter Fatherland Front Work Committee from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, then resigned due to the ward's arrangement and merger of the neighborhood. So what allowance am I entitled to?

YouMe Law Company Limited answers:

According to Official Dispatch No. 6148/BNV-TCBC dated June 17, 2026 of the Ministry of Home Affairs, in case cadres, civil servants, and public employees have been resolved for retirement policy according to the provisions of Decree 178/2024/ND-CP (amended and supplemented by Decree 67/2025/ND-CP) but are allowed to participate as non-specialized cadres in villages and residential groups, when implementing the arrangement of villages and residential groups leading to surplus, policies are applied according to the provisions of Clause 3, Article 10 of Decree 154/2025/ND-CP on streamlining staff.

Clause 3, Article 10 of Decree 154/2025/ND-CP stipulates:
