Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the issue of pension payment in February has become a matter of concern for many people. However, before receiving the pension in February this year, there are a few things we need to know about it, and there are a few that are really different from what you think.
Knowing these matters and arranging your time wisely, you will be able to receive your due pension smoothly and ensure a happy Chinese New Year. So what do retirees need to pay attention to?
First, different regions have different policies
The timing of pension payments varies from place to place. This year, many places have begun to pay out their February pensions in advance, mainly to make everyone feel more at ease and happier during the New Year. For example, Shiyan City in Hubei Province and Huanggang City in Huanggang have confirmed that they will be distributed before Chinese New Year's Eve in February, while cities such as Shanghai, Tianjin and Ningbo have also issued them in advance before the New Year in the past.
In addition, some regions still follow the normal time, and in some areas it is on the 15th or 20th of each month. Therefore, retirees should keep abreast of the specific policies of your place so that they can arrange their time wisely and do not delay their work.
The standard of pension varies from region to region. In some areas, pensions are paid according to the new standard to meet the living needs of the elderly. For example, corporate retirees in Shandong Province will enjoy a fixed pension adjustment of 41 yuan per month. This adjustment can allow retirees to better ensure their basic livelihood in the face of rising prices. In Henan Province, according to the length of service, the pension will be increased by 1.2 yuan for each additional year of work.
Retirees in Fujian Province will receive an increase in their monthly pension from 150 yuan to 160 yuan from January 1, 2024. Although it seems that the increase is only 10 yuan, for some elderly people who are struggling to live, this money may help them solve many problems. This increase in pensions can not only alleviate the poverty of the elderly population, but also promote social stability and development. You can go online and see if your pension has risen this year?
Second, go to the bank to pick it up at the wrong time
During the Chinese New Year, there is a significant increase in bank traffic, and many people will choose to go to the bank before or after the holiday, resulting in significantly longer queue times. Long waiting in line can be physically and mentally stressful for retirees, making them feel tired.
This year, the flu has struck from time to time, and too close queues can easily lead to the spread of the flu. Therefore, in order to better protect your health and avoid unnecessary waiting, you need to consider staggering the peak to go to the bank to receive a pension when receiving a pension.
In order to cope with the peak passenger flow during the Spring Festival, banks will also stipulate different time periods for different groups of customers to handle business. You can check the bank's regulations in advance and choose a time period when there is less traffic to go to the pension business.
The development of modern technology has also provided you with a more convenient way to receive a pension. You can consider using online apps such as mobile banking and Alipay to receive your pension, so that you can avoid the unnecessary waiting and queuing mentioned above.
3. Complete the qualification certification in a timely manner
Pension qualification certification is a very important procedure, which plays a vital role in accurately confirming the participation of individual pension insurance, pension treatment, and ensuring the quality of life after retirement.
Only through the pension qualification certification can we ensure that individuals enjoy the pension insurance benefits they deserve. If you fail to complete the pension qualification certification in time, it may lead to your failure to receive the pension or the pension payment will be delayed, causing inconvenience and distress to your life.
When you go through the qualification, you need to understand and comply with the relevant policies and regulations, and submit the necessary materials and information for certification according to the process to ensure the smooth progress of the qualification. You need to pay special attention to providing accurate and complete information when applying for pension qualification certification to ensure the accuracy of the certification results and not delay your time and money.
You need to understand and comply with the time requirements of the relevant certification policies, and apply for certification according to the specified time node. If you can't do it, you can let the young people in the family do it. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to the notification of certification results at all times, check whether the certification results are accurate in time, and properly retain the documents and materials related to certification for future inquiry and verification.
