Zhejiang’s old-age allowance for people over 80 years old is generally not less than 50 yuan, but it varies from place to place, and some areas are higher than this standard.
The applicable scope and standards of Zhejiang's elderly allowance
The elderly allowance is a welfare benefit granted to qualified elderly people and is a policy that reflects respect for the elderly.
Zhejiang's old-age allowance refers to the old-age allowance enjoyed by the elderly over 80 years old who enjoy pension benefits for urban and rural residents, and is paid from the fiscal budget. The standard is based on the "Implementation Opinions on Strengthening Care Services for the Elderly". To receive old-age allowances, two conditions need to be met: first, one must be over 80 years old, and second, one must receive pensions for urban and rural residents.
How much is the senior-age allowance? According to regulations, the monthly allowance for senior citizens aged 80 and above who enjoy pension benefits for urban and rural residents shall not be less than 50 yuan.
It can be seen from this that the conditions for receiving old-age allowances in Zhejiang are a little different from those in other provinces. In other provinces, you can either receive it after you are 80 years old or above, or it is for low-income elderly people, while Zhejiang is for those who receive pensions for urban and rural residents. Elderly people over 80 years old.
Zhejiang is a province with a relatively high degree of aging. Data from the Zhejiang Civil Affairs Department shows that the number of elderly people aged 80 and above reached 1.744 million by the end of 2019.
The old-age allowance standards in various places in Zhejiang Province vary from high to low
The above are the general regulations of Zhejiang Province. Judging from the old-age allowance standards implemented in various places in Zhejiang Province, due to the different economic and social development conditions and financial resources of each place, therefore, The specific old-age allowance standards are not uniform, and the standards for old-age allowances in each city are not consistent, ranging from high to low.
Moreover, the conditions for receiving old-age allowances are also different. Some places in Zhejiang Province have established a generalized system of preferences. Anyone over the age of 80 can receive old-age allowances. It is not limited to the elderly receiving pensions for urban and rural residents. The scope has been expanded.
For example, Hangzhou ’s senior-age allowance standards are divided into three age groups. The higher the age, the higher the amount. Among them, the monthly allowance for those aged 80 to 89 is 50 yuan, the standard allowance for those aged 90 to 99 is 100 yuan, and the allowance for centenarians is 300 yuan.
Moreover, Hangzhou Old Age Allowance can be received as long as you have a Hangzhou household registration and are over 80 years old. There are no other conditions for receiving it.
There are also places where the standard of senior-age allowance is higher. For example, the old-age allowance for centenarians in Qujiang District, Quzhou City is 1,000 yuan per month; the longevity health care pension for centenarians in Jiangshan City is 1,200 yuan per person per month. The old-age allowance standard for centenarians exceeds 1,000 yuan, which is very high from a national perspective. Most in other areas are more than 300 yuan.
Therefore, the old-age allowance standard for people over 80 years old in Zhejiang cannot be generalized. It varies from place to place, but it will not be less than 50 yuan. How to receive the
old age allowance?
Elderly people over 80 years old who meet the requirements for receiving local old-age allowance need to prepare original and photocopy materials such as ID cards and household registers, go to the local neighborhood committee or village committee to apply, and fill out the "Old Age Allowance Application Registration Form". After review, you will be able to receive the senior-age allowance on a monthly basis. Hangzhou and other places will pay the senior-age allowance for that month before the 25th of each month.
Hangzhou Senior Citizen Allowance Disbursement Procedure
However, many places in Zhejiang have already made it possible to apply online, without the need for on-site processing. You can log in to the " Zhejiang Government Service Network " to apply online. In particular, the application process for the elderly in Hangzhou's senior-age allowance is all cancelled. The elderly do not have to make a trip. Instead, they will be automatically paid after verifying the information through data sharing, door-to-door visits or phone calls.
