After the Spring Festival holiday, pension matters need to be paid special attention and understood in time
After the eight-day Chinese New Year holiday in the Year of the Dragon in 2024, everything will be back on track and the busiest period of the year will begin.
Of course, for pensioners, they will enjoy a happy and peaceful retirement as always.
However, after the holiday, there are still 4 aspects of pension treatment for retirees that need to be paid more attention to, otherwise it will bring confusion to their pension benefits, and even unnecessary trouble, what is the situation? Find out ahead of time.
First of all, you need to be aware of any changes in the amount of your pension.
Some areas not only pay pensions before the Spring Festival, but also pay holiday subsidies to retirees of socialized management enterprises.
Since part of the holiday allowance and pension for pensioners is paid before the Spring Festival in February, pensioners may have the illusion that their pension has increased, when in fact it is only a temporary change in their pension benefits in February, and it looks like they are receiving more than normal in that month, but it is not a change in their pension benefits.
After the Spring Festival, starting in March, the temporary treatment of the Spring Festival disappeared, and the pension could only be paid on time, which was less than in February.
Secondly, after the Spring Festival holiday, pensioners in some areas will receive their February pension on time.
While some regions give out their February pensions before the Chinese New Year, not all do so.
In some areas, there is an option to pay the pension in advance or after the Spring Festival holiday, as the normal pension payment date does not coincide with the Spring Festival holiday. In areas where pensions are paid in advance, pensioners will not be able to receive pensions in February after the Spring Festival, on the contrary, in areas where pensions are not paid in advance, pensioners can receive pensions on time and in full.
3. Some pensioners need to pay attention to the certification of pension qualifications in a timely manner.
According to Xinhua News Agency, during the Spring Festival holiday, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security is working on the certification of retirement pension eligibility in 2024.
According to the Social Security Administration, a pensioner should ensure that they are entitled to a pension every 12 months.
In order to prevent the erroneous payment of pensions, the social security system suspends pensions for pensioners who have not certified their pensions within the prescribed period and urges pensioners who are in good standing to have their pensions certified.
Of course, if the pensioner completes the certification, the Social Security Administration reimburses any pensions that have been suspended.
Fourth, continue to recalculate the pensions of some pensioners.
It has to be said that regarding the recalculation and reissuance of pensions last year, the progress of the work in various regions has been fast and slow, in areas with faster progress, the recalculation and reissuance of pensions have been completed at the end of last year, and in areas with slightly slower progress, the recalculation and reissuance of pensions will be postponed until 2024.
Therefore, remind those who will retire in 2023 and receive a pension in advance, if the recalculation has not been completed in 2023 and the pension right has not been converted, you should pay attention to the changes in the pension in the past two months.
