The retirement allowance for civil servants is actually an old problem. In fact, the retirement allowance of civil servants who retire according to the old system includes two parts: basic retirement allowance and subsidy allowance, and the subsidy allowance is much higher than the basic retirement allowance, and it has been normalized, which belongs to one of the contents of their own retirement allowance.
In fact, those who retire within the system are not only civil servants who have retirement living allowances, but also those who retire from the armed forces, including civilian personnel and retirees of public institutions, who are retired according to the old system, and there are subsidies and allowances in all retirement allowances that are handled in accordance with the old system.
Among those who retire according to the old system, the basic retirement allowance is calculated and paid according to the proportion of their basic salary and length of service before retirement, and the highest is 90% of the original basic salary; if there is a policy of additional retirement allowance, some may be able to reach 100%, such as an additional 5% for the only child, awards for major scientific and technological achievements, famous experts and scholars, and other special talents.
If the retirement allowance is calculated only according to the basic salary of the person, the monthly retirement allowance of most people is estimated to be less than 3,000 yuan, which is obviously not in line with the salary characteristics of the civil servant profession. Since the salary of a civil servant while in service, in addition to the basic salary, the allowance is an integral part of the overall salary structure, and this part will continue to be included in the retirement benefits after retirement.
If it is said that it is natural and normalized for civil servants who retire according to the old system to include retirement subsidies in their pensions, then after the implementation of the old-age insurance system of government organs and institutions, that is, after the merger of the old-age insurance system, will civil servants still have the value of receiving basic pensions, occupational pensions, and retirement living allowances? Or will they still receive a retirement living allowance in addition to their pensions like those who retire according to the old system?
The pension insurance for the staff of organs and institutions is implemented from October 1, 2014, in accordance with the National Development (2015) No. 2 document, that is, the spirit of the decision of the State Council on the reform of the pension insurance system for the staff of organs and institutions, the staff who retired after the implementation of the reform decision, the payment period is 15 years, and the legal retirement age is reached, and the basic pension is paid after retirement, and the occupational pension is also calculated. The basic pension includes the basic pension and the personal account pension.
For those who participated in the work before the reform and retired after the reform, the pension includes the basic pension, the transitional pension, and the personal account pension. Among them, those who are in the 10-year transition period are calculated according to the old and new methods, and those who retire after the end of the 10-year transition period are calculated according to the new method.
Whether it is a middle-aged person in the 10-year transition period or a middle-aged person who retires after the end of the 10-year transition period, since there is a relatively long deemed contribution period, those who have a deemed contribution period have actually considered the retirement living allowance factor when determining the deemed contribution index.
For example, in the determination of the deemed contribution index table, in addition to the position (post) index and level (salary scale) index, the retirement living allowance index corresponding to the person's position, rank and professional and technical title should also be used. Although this retirement living allowance is not directly paid in cash, the subsidy index accounts for a relatively high proportion in the composition of the deemed contribution index, in fact, this is also in the pension calculation, fully considering the factors of civil servants and staff of public institutions to give subsidies after retirement, or in the composition of the basic pension, in fact, the retirement living allowance has been included.
However, among the civil servants who retired after October 2014, although the pension is higher than that of the civil servants who retire according to the old system, in addition to the pension or pension, the civil servants also enjoy the retirement living allowance according to 70% of the basic performance of the incumbents.
Because the retirement living allowance has always been covered with a veil of mystery, that is, the policy is issued from above, and the local finance pays for it. This has resulted in some places being high, others being low, large institutions being high, and small institutions being low. Where there is money in the finances, it is not distributed in the places where the finances are not, which leads to a new imbalance, which not only leads to polarization within the system, but also a lot of discussion outside the system
As a result, some netizens in the system suggested that the retirement living allowance for civil servants should be normalized, and strive to achieve a balance between agencies and regions as much as possible. However, the idea is good to make a big national balance, but the differences between mainland regions are relatively large, and there are too many places where the state uses money, and it is very challenging to normalize the retirement living allowance.
There are also some netizens who believe that after the implementation of the pension insurance system, especially after the merger of the pension insurance system, it is unreasonable and inconsistent with the law to issue retirement living subsidies to civil servants, which is to promote the income gap. In particular, when local finances are not sufficient, this not only increases the burden on local finances, but also puts the incumbent in a dilemma, and ultimately the retirees themselves suffer.
To sum up, with regard to the retirement living allowance for government retirees, should a normalized mechanism be formed to benefit all government retirees, or should it be abolished directly? It should be implemented in strict accordance with the spirit of the Social Security Law and the spirit of the reform of the pension insurance system of government agencies and institutions, and there will be relatively large differences among different groups of netizens, which needs to be paid attention to.
