At the same time, units shall carry out the settlement of assigned funds in accordance with the provisions of the State Budget Law and relevant guiding documents; and shall be responsible before the law for cases of profiteering and group interests occurring at the unit.

According to the resolution, each person will receive support of 2 million VND per month for travel expenses, 1.5 million VND for living expenses, and 1.5 million VND for accommodation.

In case cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers have been arranged with shuttle vehicles or official housing according to prescribed standards, they will not be supported.

The support regime for cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers is implemented from the date of change of actual workplace from the old An Giang provincial administrative center to the new An Giang provincial administrative center and vice versa within 24 months in the form of a contract and is paid periodically every month along with the current salary.

Public service units that self-insure regular and investment expenditures, public service units that self-insure regular expenditures are applied to support civil servants and employees working at higher or lower units according to the financial capacity of the unit and must be specifically regulated in the internal spending regulations of the unit.
