Hey, this rumor on the Internet is really a day at a time. No, some people say that civil servants can get 40 months of funeral expenses after they die? I was happy when I heard it, this is also outrageous!
However, if you think about it carefully, this matter is really not groundless. It turns out that some people confuse funeral expenses with pensions. These 40 months and 20 months are actually talking about a one-time pension, not funeral expenses.
This pension is really different. Civil servants are the highest, receiving 40 months' salary or pension for the first 40 months of their death, plus twice the per capita disposable income of the local population. This is stipulated in the policy document, and it is justified!
As for the employees of the career establishment, although they are not as good as civil servants, they are not bad. Their pension is based on the salary or retirement pension for the first 20 months of life. This is also based on policy, not just casual talk.
What about the employees of enterprises? Don't look at the fact that they are not within the system, and the remuneration of other people is not low. According to the new policy in 2021, the number of months of pension payment is linked to the number of years of pension contributions. The longer you pay, the more you get, up to a maximum of 24 months. That's a few months more than the business establishment!
Of course, retired workers are not so lucky. Their pension is reduced by one month for each year they receive pension, although the minimum is nine months. Compared with government agencies and institutions, the gap is indeed not small.
After talking about the pension, let's talk about the funeral expenses. This one is even more interesting. Do you think that the standard of funeral expenses for civil servants is uniform throughout the country? False? At present, each province still sets its own amount, some according to a fixed amount, some according to the income of local residents, and some according to the salary of in-service workers. Anyway, it can be calculated no matter what, but there is no unified standard.
However, in 2021, the national unified standard for funeral expenses for enterprise employees was determined, which is twice the monthly disposable income of local residents in the previous year. Don't say it, in some places, this standard is even higher than that of government agencies and institutions.
Therefore, some people's mouths say "40 months for civil servants, 20 months for career editors, and 2 months for enterprises", which is pure nonsense. But if he really confused the pension with the funeral expenses, it would be understandable. After all, ordinary people generally don't distinguish between these two concepts.
As mentioned earlier, the pension for civil servants is 40 months' salary plus some additional allowances, and the establishment of a business is 20 months' salary, while employees of enterprises can receive a maximum of 24 months. This seems to be a big difference, but it makes sense when you think about it. After all, civil servants and career establishments have an establishment when they are in office, and it makes sense to take more after they die.
On the contrary, funeral expenses, and now there are really many places where employees of enterprises receive more than government agencies and institutions. This is a bit unexpected. But if you think about it, the treatment of enterprise employees when they are on the job is already much worse than that of civil servants, and it can be regarded as a kind of compensation for letting the family get more after death.
Of course, whether it is a pension or funeral expenses, in the final analysis, it is a kind of comfort for the deceased. The amount is not the most important thing, the key is to reflect the care of the state and the unit for the employees. This kind of care, whether inside or outside the system, should be shared by everyone.
Having said that, there are always a lot of rumors on the Internet about topics like this that involve people's livelihood. If you are not careful, it is easy to be carried away. Therefore, let's neither deny this kind of gossip completely, nor blindly believe it. It is still necessary to learn to think independently and verify from many sources, so as not to be led by rumors.
