Tianjin Human Resources and Social Security Bureau recently issued a notice on the funeral subsidy standard for retirees in Tianjin in 2023, and adjusted the original standard. According to the new standard, the funeral subsidy standard for urban retirees is raised to 9500 yuan, and that for rural retirees is 7200 yuan. This adjustment is mainly to better protect the living rights and interests of retirees, taking into account factors such as the continuous improvement of per capita income level and rising prices. The implementation of this policy can effectively alleviate the funeral expenses faced by retirees when their families are in financial difficulties, and improve their quality of life and social status. According to the notice, retirees need relevant supporting materials to apply for funeral subsidies, such as retirement certificates, death certificates and funeral invoices. The applicant should apply to the local social security agency within the specified time, and get the corresponding one-time subsidy after meeting the conditions.
Apart from funeral subsidies for retirees, what other relevant policies are there in Tianjin? In addition to funeral subsidies for retirees, Tianjin has also implemented a series of old-age insurance policies such as pension adjustment, medical insurance reimbursement for retirees, and home-based care services. In addition, Tianjin also encourages enterprises and social forces to actively participate in the old-age insurance business and jointly provide better protection and services for retirees.
Since 2023, the standard of funeral subsidies for retirees in Tianjin has been adjusted. The one-time subsidy standard for urban retirees is 9500 yuan, and that for rural retirees is 7200 yuan. Retirees can apply to the local social security agency within the specified time, and provide the corresponding certification materials. The purpose of this adjustment is to better protect the rights and interests of retirees and improve their quality of life and social status.
