202 1 The new regulation of "Old Age Allowance" officially announced that the elderly in China can receive the old age allowance uniformly distributed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs as long as they reach the age of 80, and receive it according to 500 yuan every month. Different from other subsidies, the old age allowance is a special subsidy for the elderly over 80 years old. It is mainly to provide a safeguard measure for the elderly, which has certain relief and social security welfare nature, and is equivalent to a pension policy, which can solve the basic life of the elderly and improve their quality of life. Different regions may need different ages. In some areas, the age is about 70 or 60. The amount of subsidy received by each age group is different, generally 50-200 yuan, and the older you get, the more you get.

Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on Establishing a National Provincial Subsidy System for the Elderly In recent years, in order to implement the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly, Several Opinions of the State Council on Accelerating the Development of the Aged Care Service Industry (Guo Fa [2013] No.35) and the Notice of the Ministry of Finance and the National Office for Ageing of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on Establishing and Perfecting the Financial Assistance System for the Elderly with Financial Difficulties (Caishe [2014)

In terms of old age allowance, 26 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) such as Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Shandong, Henan, Hunan, Guangdong, Hainan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia and Xinjiang have been introduced.

In terms of subsidies for old-age services, 20 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Liaoning, Jilin, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Shandong, Henan, Hunan, Guangdong, Hainan, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Tibet, Qinghai and Xinjiang have introduced relevant subsidy policies.

In terms of nursing subsidies, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, Henan, Guangdong, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Tibet, Xinjiang and other provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) have introduced relevant subsidy policies.

These policies are of great significance for improving the welfare system for the elderly, ensuring the funds for old-age services and improving the quality of life of the elderly. All localities should earnestly learn from the practices of these areas, take inclusiveness, equalization and sustainability as the direction, accelerate the establishment of these systems for benefiting the people, and strive to achieve full coverage at the provincial level during the 13 th Five-Year Plan period. In areas where relevant subsidy policies have not yet been introduced, it is necessary to speed up the work progress and introduce policies as soon as possible in light of local conditions. In areas where relevant subsidy policies have been introduced, it is necessary to do a good job in the evaluation of the elderly, gradually improve the subsidy standards and coverage, and effectively enhance the sense of acquisition of the elderly. The establishment and improvement of subsidy policies and suggestions on related work in various places should be reported to the Social Welfare and Philanthropy Promotion Department of our Ministry in a timely manner.
