The subsistence allowance can only guarantee basic livelihood, and the subsistence allowance is generally relatively small. For families with no income** and long-term medical expenses, the minimum allowance may be a drop in the bucket.
The question is, what should I do if the minimum security fund is not enough?Here is a list of possible methods using Guangxi townships as an example, for reference only.
(1) Apply for a minimum security fund increase
Look at which category your subsistence allowance is. Category C can apply for Category B or Category A, and Category B can apply for Category A. Bring relevant documents, such as medical bills (statements, invoices, etc.), tuition bills, etc.
Although it won't be much more money after the upgrade, it will always be better than the original. If each person spends an extra hundred yuan a month, he can earn thousands more in a year, which can improve his life.
(2) Apply for temporary relief
For low-income families with large education or medical expenses, they can apply for expenditure-based emergency assistance. Those who do not have education or medical expenses, but have difficulties in living due to special reasons, can apply for emergency temporary assistance. When applying, remember to bring relevant documents (education, medical documents, etc.).
It is worth noting that, in principle, the same family can only apply for temporary assistance once within one year for the same cause. If you are applying for an expense type, it is recommended to save up the documents so that you can get a higher amount of relief at one time.
(3) Apply for public welfare positions
Ask if there are any public welfare positions such as cleaners and forest rangers in the village committee or township. Although the salary is very low, maybe only a few hundred yuan a month, the job is not demanding, it is more convenient to do, and it will be much better than having no income at all.
At this stage, there is no way to make the life of the subsistence allowance recipients completely worry, and the formal system can only provide limited support. There will always be some difficulties that the recipients of the subsistence allowance have to rely on themselves or relatives and friends to help solve (helpless).
