Nghe An urges to speed up implementation of 26 trillion VND support package

The Provincial People's Committee has just issued Document No. 6501/UBND-KGVX on urging the implementation of Resolution No. 68/NQ-CP of the Government and Decision No. 23/2021/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister.

This document clearly states that after more than 1 month of implementation,Resolution No. 68/NQ-CP dated July 1, 2021of the Government and Decision 23/2021/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister, 11/12 policy groups have been approved and supported with funding. However, some departments and branches of the District People's Committee have not implemented quickly and have not proactively followed the assigned and decentralized tasks. The implementation of support policies for freelance workers according to Decision 22/2021/QD-UBND of the Provincial People's Committee is still slow; the implementation of the periodic reporting regime and daily reporting is not timely.

To promptly support workers and employers, the Provincial People's Committee requests relevant departments, branches and units to focus on propagating and disseminating policies, creating favorable conditions for workers to soon access and enjoy policies.

Local authorities of districts, cities and towns need to clearly identify this as an important task to focus on prioritizing, speeding up the list approval process and timely distribution.

According to Mr. Vu Xuan Long - Deputy Chief of Office of the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs of Nghe An province, up to this point, there is only one group that has not been approved for support, which is the Policy Group to support vocational training to maintain employment for workers. "Up to this point, we have not received any documents from any unit in the province," said Mr. Long.

"For the Freelance Labor Group, up to now, only Ky Son district has submitted more than 300 application files to the Department and we are urgently reviewing and proposing support payments," Mr. Long added.

Also according to document 6501/UBND-KGVX dated September 6, 2021, the People's Committee of Nghe An province requested that agencies and localities direct relevant departments, divisions and units to coordinate closely and synchronously; strictly handle cases of shirking, avoidance, and lack of coordination leading to violations in the review process, duplication of subjects, support for the wrong subjects, and policy exploitation...

Currently, many localities in Nghe An province are implementing social distancing to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic according to Directive 16. The province requires relevant agencies and units to focus on implementing the reception and handling of online records, by post, and through online public services; promptly removing difficulties and obstacles right at the grassroots level.
