(LĐXH)- The Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs requested localities to proactively review subjects, grasp the lives of people and workers and speed up the implementation of support according to Resolution 68/NQ-CP.

Deputy Minister of MoLISA Le Van Thanh said the Ministry is urging localities to complete support package to employees and employers in August.

Up to now, 63/63 provinces and cities have issued plans to implement Resolution 68/NQ-CP and Decision 23/2021/QD-TTg.

So far, over 13 million people were supported with a total amount of nearly 6,000 billion VND.

Through the implementation process, especially during the period of social distancing, many localities have well implemented policies according to Resolution 68/NQ-CP and Decision 23/2021/QD, such as Ho Chi Minh City.

Currently, online registration forms to receive support under Resolution 68 have been implemented on the National Public Service Portal.

The time for appraisal and approval is also shortened which creates the best conditions for employees and employers to soon access and benefit from the policy.

The MoLISA also asked localities to proactively review subjects and grasp people's lives.

** On 01 July 2021, the Government released Resolution 68/NQ-CP (“Resolution 68”) introducing some policies to support employees and employers in difficulty due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
