Q1
Q: How to distribute subsidies and aid funds to people in need?
A：
First, on the basis of the original living allowance for the low-income object and the extremely poor.Additional one-time living allowanceTo ensure that their living standards are not reduced. Considering that the specific conditions vary from place to place, the standards of subsidies are determined by the localities. Ningxia, for example, has been identified as the lowest-income target and extremely poor people in the whole region, and has issued a one-time living allowance according to the standard of 600 yuan per person. Other provinces are also carrying out this work.
Second, migrant workers who are unable to return to work due to the epidemic, have no source of income for three consecutive months, have difficulties in life and are unable to be covered by unemployment insurance policies, and other people who have not participated in unemployment insurance can work in their places of work or their habitual residence.Apply for a one-time temporary relief fund. In the first quarter of this year, a total of 1.379 million people were helped by the epidemic, with a total expenditure of 390 million yuan. For example, in Jilin Province, 276,000 people were temporarily rescued due to the epidemic, and the accumulated expenditure was more than 61 million yuan; Shanghai provided temporary relief to 13,000 people in need affected by the epidemic.
The third is to track the price changes. When the price rises meet the starting conditions, the linkage mechanism between social assistance and security standards and price rises will be started in time.Pay temporary price subsidies in full and on time.. For example, in Shanghai, according to the standard of 118 yuan per person, temporary price subsidies were given to urban and rural minimum living allowances, poor people, orphans and families with difficulties due to illness.

The fourth is to improve the insurance policy for flexible employees.In view of the weak ability of individual industrial and commercial households and flexible employees to resist risks and the great pressure of participating in insurance payment at present, it is clear that all kinds of flexible employees who participate in the basic old-age insurance for enterprise employees in their personal capacity can voluntarily suspend payment if they have difficulty paying the old-age insurance premium this year, and the unpaid monthly payment can be made before the end of next year, and the cumulative calculation of payment years will not affect future retirement benefits.
