There is also a week to the Chinese New Year, for the majority of retired seniors, during the Spring Festival will buy a variety of New Year's goods, but for those friends with less pensions, the funds on hand are not enough, can only wait for the pension.
However, pensions in many cities are generally issued between the 5th and 25th of each month, and this time is the holiday time of this year's Spring Festival, so many people are worried about whether the pension can be issued normally, or the pension is too late to buy New Year's goods.
For the retired elderly concerned about these problems, in fact, many places have long been aware of it, so many places have begun to adjust the pension payment time in February, and many cities have issued notices in recent days to issue pensions in February.
Let's take a look at the cities that have already made it clear that pensions will be paid in advance.
On January 17, the Hubei Municipal Social Security Bureau issued a notice that in order to ensure that the majority of retirees spend a stable and peaceful Spring Festival, the Municipal Social Security Bureau completed the February fund application plan ahead of schedule, and the enterprise employee pension insurance will complete the February pension payment before February 2, and the pension insurance of government institutions will be completed before February 8.
On January 22, Huangzhou District, Huanggang City, Hubei Province issued a notice that the Huangzhou District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau planned the distribution of pension benefits in advance, completed the February fund application plan ahead of schedule, and will complete the pension distribution of retirees before February 2.
On January 31, the Shanghai Human Resources and Social Security Bureau issued a notice that the pension for retirees issued during the Spring Festival holiday will be paid in advance, and the retired (in-service) personnel who were originally scheduled to pay urban occupational insurance pensions from February 9 to 14, 2024 can now be received through relevant banks and post offices from February 6; Retired (in-service) personnel who were originally scheduled to be paid urban occupational insurance pensions from February 15 to 25, 2024 can now receive them through relevant banks and post offices from February 7; The pensioners who were originally scheduled to be paid urban and rural residence pension on February 10 can now receive it through relevant banks and post offices from February 6.
Although many cities have not issued a notice to clearly issue a pension in advance in February, from the actual situation, many places will be issued in the next few days, and basically the payment will be completed before February 8.
Why should pensions be paid early during the Spring Festival?
It is actually a practice to pay pensions in advance during the Spring Festival, and the reason why it is necessary to pay them in advance is mainly due to several considerations.
Clause.
First, in order to let the retired elderly have money for the holidays.
At present, there are about 1About 300 million people, if the number of people in rural areas receiving pension insurance for urban and rural residents is also counted, the number of people who are related to pensions is very large.
However, among the many retired seniors, not everyone has rich savings, and not everyone's pension is very high and can cope with life for a long time, especially during the Chinese New Year, some retirees may not have money for the holidays.
In order to allow everyone to have money to spend the festival and shop during the Spring Festival, the local human resources and social security bureaus are also flexible arrangements, and the pensions that should be paid between the 5th and 25th of each month will basically be paid in place a few days before the Spring Festival.
Clause.
Second, take into account the issue of holidays.
At present, the pension of the retired elderly is basically issued through the bank card, and the normal procedure is that the local social security bureau will count the pension and send the distribution statement to the bank, and then the bank will issue it on behalf of the bank.
But during the Spring Festival, whether it is the social security department or the bank will be on holiday, according to the first arrangement, this year's Spring Festival holiday time is February 10 to February 17, this holiday time just overlaps with the peak period of the pension every month, if it is not issued before the Spring Festival holiday, it will not be issued until February 18, which may lead to the postponement of the pension in some places.
It is precisely because of this special factor that many local social security bureaus may complete the relevant statistics of the pension payment in February before January 31, and complete the payment before February 9, that is, before the Chinese New Year's Eve.
After the pension is paid in advance, the majority of retirees will have the money to buy New Year's goods, so that they can spend a happy and peaceful Spring Festival!
