Our application for subsistence allowance has also been approved, and the temporary relief funds have also been lowered, which is really helpful for us. Facing the camera, Duan Kejian, a villager in Sitan, excitedly expressed his gratitude.
Duan Kejian is a villager in Jiuzhi Village, Sitan Township, Jingtai County, and in 2022, his son was suddenly diagnosed with a brain tumor, spending a total of more than 500,000 yuan, and the family's life was in trouble. After learning about the actual situation of Duan Kejian's family, the civil affairs staff of Sitan Township helped him apply for temporary assistance of 24,000 yuan, and carried out accounting and evaluation of medical expenses and differential assistance, and Duan Kejian's family of six enjoyed the policy dividend.

Not only that, in recent years, Jingtai County has accelerated the construction of the social security system, firmly grasped the bottom line of people's livelihood, and the proportion of people's livelihood expenditure in total fiscal expenditure has become heavier, and the development results have benefited more people.

Investment in basic public facilities such as education and medical care, elderly care and childcare has been increased, and the elderly have been provided with, the young have been educated, and the sick have been treated, which is more secure and of higher quality.
Like education, medical care, elderly care and childcare, Jingtai County continues to make efforts to benefit the people's livelihood, and implements ecological and geological disaster avoidance and relocation projects according to the county conditions, and accelerates the relocation of farmers in areas threatened by geological disasters.
"Now we move to the community, it is very convenient, water and electricity are pressed into the kitchen, the heating is also on, the winter is also very warm, and there are schools and hospitals nearby, and it is convenient for the children to go to school, exactly the same as in the city." Walking into the new home of villager Zhang Zhifeng, the living room is spacious and bright, and various intelligent household appliances improve the quality of life.
Since the implementation of the land disaster relocation project, 1,852 peasant households in Jingtai County have moved into comfortable and convenient modern communities, and the integrated development of urban and rural areas has entered the fast lane, and the peasant masses have a greater sense of gain.
The promotion of every social security work has brought warmth and hope to thousands of families in the county. At the beginning of this year, Jingtai County held the 2024 "Spring Breeze Action", "Employment Assistance Month" and the on-site job fair of East-West Labor Cooperation, organizing more than 1,000 positions in more than 30 enterprises to enter the recruitment, and many people found satisfactory jobs here.
