Low-income households, poor households, and five-guarantee households are three different concepts in China's social assistance system, and their differences are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1.Definitions and Objects:
Subsistence allowance households refer to households that have lost their labor force due to severe disability or illness of their family members and are entitled to a minimum subsistence allowance. Their income levels are below the local subsistence minimum standard, mainly for low-income families in urban and rural areas.
Poor households refer to families whose household income level is lower than the poverty line standard set by the state or local government, and who are living in difficulty. The criteria for identifying poor households may vary from region to region, but generally include the poor in rural areas and low-income people in urban areas.
Five-guarantee households refer to the elderly, disabled and minors in rural areas who have no ability to work, no livelihood, no legal obligation to support, raise or support, or those who have legal obligations to support, raise or support, but have no ability to support, raise or support.
2.Rescue Methods and Standards:
Subsistence allowance is available to subsistence allowance to meet basic living needs. The amount of the guarantee is determined according to factors such as the level of local economic development and the price level.
Poor households can receive a series of poverty alleviation policy support, including industrial support, education funding, medical assistance, relocation, etc. The goal of poverty alleviation is to help poor households increase their income and get out of poverty.
Five-guarantee households can receive support, including food, clothing, housing, medical care, funeral and other aspects of security. The standards and methods of the Five Guarantees also vary from region to region.
3.Application and Accreditation Procedures:
The identification of subsistence allowance households and poor households usually needs to go through procedures such as application, review and approval. Applicants need to provide relevant supporting materials, and only eligible families can receive corresponding assistance after the family financial situation investigation and assessment.
The identification of the five guarantee households is carried out by the local civil affairs department, and is generally determined through the recommendation and review of grassroots organizations.
It is important to note that these distinctions are generalizations in general, and specific policies and implementation details may vary by region and time. If you have questions about policies in a specific area, it is advisable to consult with your local civil affairs department or relevant agency for accurate information and guidance.
