Since January, the social security pension has ushered in three major benefits, pay attention to another major event, must see!
The New Year's Day holiday is officially over, office workers and pensioners pay attention, from January 2024, social security and pensions will give up 3 good news, the money bag in hand will be accumulated, and there is a major event to pay attention to, I hope everyone can benefit from it. Let's take a look at what these three good news are, and pay attention to a major event.
The first piece of good news: social security rates will continue to be reduced in stages.
According to the notice jointly issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Finance, and the State Administration of Taxation, social insurance rates such as serious illness insurance, unemployment insurance, and work-related injury insurance will be reduced in stages, and this policy will be implemented until the end of 2024. In this regard, many places have also issued notices to reduce the social security premium rate in stages.
For example, Shanghai issued a notice that from May 2023, the 1% contribution rate for unemployment insurance will be postponed until the end of 2024, and the work-related injury insurance standard will be reduced by 20%.
Taking Zhejiang as an example, from May 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024, the per capita unemployment insurance rate for insured persons and units is still 05%。
In addition, some local medical insurance payment rates have also begun to be reduced, including Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places, such as Hangzhou, Zhejiang, where the proportion of employee medical insurance payment is 96%；In Suzhou, the medical insurance premium rate paid by employers for employees will be reduced by 1 percentage point, from 7% to 6%.
The social security contribution rate will continue to be gradually reduced until 2024, which is very welcome news for both businesses and individuals, which can reduce the burden of social security contributions on employers and individuals.
The second piece of good news: the pension recalculation grant will be credited.
At present, the national pension calculation base in 2023 has been determined, but due to the fast and slow progress of pension recalculation and reissuance in various places, some places have completed the recalculation and repayment by the end of 2023, and some places will arrange recalculation and repayment in January, which means that this part of the pension recipients will cash in the pension recalculation and repayment.
However, it is necessary to remind the pensioners that the pension that will be reissued after January is not the pension adjustment reissue, but the replacement of the pension calculation base in 2023 and the pension of the difference, because if the pension adjustment is generally determined in March, do not confuse the repayment, remember to carefully check the amount received after the account.
The third piece of good news: the pensions of some insured farmers are increasing.
Everyone knows very well that from 2023, many regions have raised the basic pension of urban and rural residents, at least Shanghai, Ningxia, Anhui, Henan, Hebei, Guizhou and other places, the highest increase is in Shanghai, reaching 100 yuan, and the lowest is 5 yuan.
With the arrival of January 2024, will the pension of insured farmers be raised?After verification, there is a clear political basis for the increase, that is, the "Guiding Opinions on the Establishment of a Basic Pension Insurance Treatment Determination and Normal Adjustment Mechanism for Basic Pensions for Urban and Rural Residents" issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Finance in 2018.
According to this opinion, the local bureau should increase the amount of the basic pension according to the current situation of prices, wages, etc., which is a clear signal. For example, the Fujian Provincial Human Resources and Social Security Bureau issued a notice that from January 2024, the minimum standard of basic pension for urban and rural residents in the province will be increased from 150 yuan to 160 yuan, which means that each person has increased by 10 yuan per month.
An important aspect to consider is the pension eligibility test.
Retirees are clear that pension qualification certification is a routine action that retirees must do every year, if in a certification cycle through the big data acquiescence certification, and there is no comparison of retirees' survival data, then for the sake of social security, for the delay in certification of personnel will suspend pension benefits, and for the comparison of survival data of big data, then there is no need to repeat the qualification certification. For example, at the end of December 2023, the Hefei Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau issued a notice that those who have not completed the certification of pension eligibility within a certification cycle (more than 12 months) will stop paying pensions in January 2024.
In fact, for people, authentication is very simple and convenient, they can use the mobile app for face authentication, or they can go to the service window of the diagnosis and treatment site for on-site authentication or off-site** authentication.
Therefore, from January 2024, it is necessary to pay attention to the qualification certification of pension benefits, because some places have started the qualification certification of pension benefits in 2024, and for pensioners who are not certified in 2023, pensions will be stopped in January.
In short, the reduction of the social security insurance rate, the recalculation of pensions, and the increase in the pensions of insured farmers are closely related to the wallets of office workers and retirees. But the most important thing to remember is the very important pension eligibility certificate.
