On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2024, the pension field ushered in three good news, which is worth paying attention to
The Spring Festival holiday has begun, time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two days have passed. For the elderly who receive pensions, the holidays should be very busy these days, before the end of the Spring Festival holiday in 2024, the news about pensions is also continuous, and there are three more news to share with you, which are very important, especially the last one, which is that all retired workers are very anxious, come and take a look.
The first piece of good news is the early payment of pensions.
In view of the fact that the Spring Festival holiday in 2024 will be from February 10th to 17th, covering the normal pension payment period in many areas, if the pension payment period is not adjusted, the pension will not be guaranteed to be paid to the pensioners on time and in full, not to mention that the Spring Festival is also the consumption period of pensioners, they usually have no money to buy New Year's goods, and they will once be generous during the New Year. In addition, during the Spring Festival, in order to create an atmosphere for the New Year, the elderly also have to prepare red envelopes for their grandchildren, which increases the Spring Festival expenses of pensioners, and the early payment of pensions is also the expectation of pensioners.
According to incomplete statistics, before the Spring Festival, there are at least 7 pension effective areas in the country, these 7 regions are Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Anhui, Hainan, Xinjiang Construction Corps, in addition, Henan, Hebei, Hubei and other places are also the main areas for pension early distribution, which provides financial guarantee for the consumption of pensioners during the Spring Festival.
The second piece of good news is the recalculation of pension arrears.
According to the pension payment method and pension accounting method for many years, under normal circumstances, the pension issued to the pension personnel in the current year belongs to the advance pension, the pension accounting at the time of retirement adopts the old calculation base, the calculation of the pension belongs to the nature of the advance pension, the second half of each year, the provinces and cities began to announce the pension calculation base of the year, and recalculate the pension, make up the difference.
However, the progress of pension recalculation and distribution varies from region to region, and some regions may complete the recalculation and distribution of pensions in the current year, while others may postpone it until next year. Currently, in some regions, the 2023 pension recalculation exercise has actually been postponed until 2024. For example, in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, part of the pension recalculation work of pensioners in February has just been completed, and they not only received the pension in February, but also received the recalculated pension.
Of course, there is a region in addition to Heilongjiang, because Heilongjiang announced the new pension base in the past two years very early, such as 2023 and 2024, the pension calculation base was announced in December of the previous year, and the retirees of that year directly used the latest pension calculation base, there is no problem of pension advance, and there is no problem of recalculation of the pension.
The third good news is that Sichuan will explicitly increase the pension benefits of retirees in 2024.
All pensioners welcomed the good news.
According to Article 13 of the "2024 Implementation Plan for 30 Practical Matters of People's Livelihood in the Province" announced by Sichuan, 1151 funds will be arranged600 million yuan to increase the level of pension benefits for retirees and ensure that pensions for retirees and pension insurance benefits for urban and rural residents are paid on time and in full.
This means that Sichuan Province will not only improve the pension treatment of employees this year, but also increase the pension level of residents. Regarding the pension of employees, it can be said that the starting point is the issue of employee pensions, which is a game of chess in the country, and the pensions of workers in Sichuan will be adjusted, which means that 31 provinces and cities in the country will be adjusted.
