January is the beginning of the new year. For the majority of retirees, receiving a pension is a fixed expectation every month. But today, in 2024, there are four key points to pay special attention to when receiving a pension to ensure that your rights and interests are not harmed. Let's take a look with Xiaokang!
1.Check the amount of pension received
Entering the new year, the pension payment standard in many places may be adjusted. Especially in areas where pension recalculation and repayment have been completed at the end of last year, the amount received in January may have been paid according to the new standard. This means that if your pension was previously received on the basis of advance payments, it may increase this month. In addition, for newly retired personnel, their pensions may not be recalculated until the second half of the year, and the difference will be paid back in January. Therefore, it is very necessary to pay attention to the changes in your own amount in time.
2.Maintain pension eligibility status
Regardless of the region, retirees will need to be certified for their pension eligibility to ensure that funds are not mistaken or stolen. The specific requirements and timing of certification may vary from place to place, so be sure to pay attention to local notices. For example, retirees in Hebei and Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, began to need to be certified in January. In order to avoid affecting the payment of pensions due to the failure to certify in time, this crucial step should be kept in mind.

3.FollowedFee-saving subsidies are issued
Before the Spring Festival, the social security departments in some places will issue holiday subsidies to retirees as a blessing for their holidays. For example, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Shanghai and Guangzhou have such traditions. In January, retirees in these places should pay attention to whether the holiday allowance has been paid. In terms of amount, such as 1,200 yuan in Hangzhou and 2,000 yuan in Ningbo, they are a lot of income. Especially for retirees in government institutions and institutions, they may receive more holiday allowances. Retirees of some government agencies and institutions in Sichuan and other places can receive a holiday allowance of more than 10,000 yuan before the Spring Festival.
4.Pay attention to the new treatment of retirees of government agencies and institutions
For the personnel of government agencies and institutions who retired in January this year, they belong to the 10th year of retirement during the 10-year transition period. This means that they will enjoy 100 per cent of the benefits of the new scheme over the old one. This change is closely related to their real income and therefore requires special attention.
As a new beginning, January is a critical period for retirees, involving the issuance and adjustment of a number of benefits. Keeping abreast of and responding to these changes is key to ensuring that your rights and interests are not compromised.
