Planned Parenthood Fines: Can They Be Refunded Now?The answer is no, you can consult the local family planning department for details.
Since the 70s of the 20th century, China has implemented a strict family planning policy, aimed at controlling the rate of population growth and alleviating the pressure on resources. In this context, violations of family planning regulations are strictly prohibited and subject to the payment of corresponding fines. To a certain extent, these fines have played a positive role in controlling population growth in our country.
However, in recent years, China has adjusted its family planning policy. China's fertility policy has changed from "one is not less, two is just right, and three is more" in 1971 to "a couple has only one child" in 1982;From the implementation of the two-child policy in 2015 to the full implementation of three children per couple in 2021, it has gone through a process of continuous adjustment, evolution and improvement for half a century. In 2021, the country will fully open up the three-child policy, marking a new stage in China's family planning policy. This also raises concerns about the fines of the past: can those fines that have been paid still be refunded now?
At present, the state has not issued a clear policy that stipulates that the family planning fines that have been paid can be refunded. However, some areas have carried out some exploration and practice on this issue. For example, the family planning departments in some localities have launched a campaign to "refund family planning fines" with the aim of eliminating people's misunderstanding and dissatisfaction with the family planning policyCourts in some regions have also accepted some appeals involving family planning fines. Therefore, it is recommended that families who have paid fines for violating family planning regulations can consult the relevant policies and procedures with the local family planning department or the court to try to get some or all of the fines refunded.
