Hunan Province Baojing County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision keeps a close eye on the management of the "one card" and continues to rectify corruption and unhealthy practices around the people. It takes the interception and withholding of the pension and social security field, false reporting and embezzling the pension money and social security funds of rural elderly people as a "cut" and strictly investigate prominent problems in this field.

This is a typical official crime case where multiple people conspire and custody and seriously infringe on the interests of the people. Late at night on February 1, 2021, a banking business alarm system in Hengnan County, Hunan Province suddenly rang out. Someone used multiple bank cards on the bank's ATM , and the system alarm was triggered due to long-term operation. The public security department investigated and found that the withdrawal was Yang, the chief of the Agricultural Insurance Center of the Hengnan County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. He carried 612 social security cards with him and had withdrawn more than 150,000 yuan in cash. The Hengnan Social Security Fund case involving multiple party members and cadres has thus surfaced.
After the incident, the public security organs promptly transferred clues of problems related to public officials found to the discipline inspection and supervision organs. In view of the bad nature and extremely bad impact of the case, the Hunan Provincial Party Committee clearly stated that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision will take the lead and urge the Hengyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision to set up a special task force to investigate and deal with the case strictly and quickly, and thoroughly investigate the dereliction of duty, responsibilities and violations of discipline and law behind the case.
After investigation, from the end of 2015 to January 2021, Yang colluded with the heads of labor stations in some townships and townships to collect more than 900 social security cards for the dead. Because the information was not updated in time, the system continued to distribute social security funds to the card. After he illegally embezzled the social security funds in the card, he took all the rest for himself, except for part of them to others.
Then, Yang won over and bribed Liao, a cadre issued to the Agricultural Insurance Center of Hengnan County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, and asked him to help activate the suspended social security card and embezzle social security funds from it. As more and more cash withdrawals were withdrawn, Yang found Wu, the director of the center, and gave him a benefit fee, allowing him to "gold the green light" in the monthly pension payment approval. In addition, they also embezzled more funds by raising the issuance standards and moving forward the issuance time.
According to the case handlers, the people involved in the case embezzled and embezzled more than 17 million yuan of pensions through renewal of benefits, reissue of benefits and adjustment of benefits, of which Yang Moumou received more than 15 million yuan. However, the relevant functional departments that have supervision responsibilities have been neglecting management for a long time and have dereliction of duty and failure at all levels.
Relevant person in charge of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision said that in this case, the main responsibilities of the Hengnan County Party Committee, County Government and County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau were absent at all levels, and the regulatory mechanisms such as industry systems, internal control supervision, financial audit supervision and other supervision mechanisms were lost at all levels. The discipline inspection and supervision group of the Hengnan County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision stationed in the County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau stationed at the County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau were relaxed and soft, and the lessons were profound.
At present, all the stolen money involved in the case has been recovered. Nine public officials suspected of joint embezzlement and two public officials suspected of dereliction of duty in were transferred to judicial authorities for review and prosecution. 28 party members and cadres who bear leadership and supervision responsibilities are being held accountable.
Investigate and deal with a case, deter a piece of land, and govern a region. Hunan Province insists on learning from one example and applying it to others, investigating and correcting the case, and promoting reform through cases. Focus on the main risks and key links of social security fund management, comprehensively clean up clues of problem, and achieve the "four investigations", namely, the social security problems found in inspections, social security problems found in audits, social security cases discovered during the case handling of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, and social security problems reflected in the petitions of the masses. As of early December 2021, the province has revealed a total of 801 petition reports in the social security fund field since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and more than 300 cases were verified to be true or partly true.
At the same time, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision at all levels in Hunan Province took the problems exposed by the Hengnan Social Security Fund case as the starting point, and carried out in-depth special supervision and inspection on violations of discipline and laws in the social security field, and urged the province, city and county levels to conduct joint investigations on the "investment, management and expenditure" of urban and rural residents' pension insurance, enterprise employee pension insurance, and pension insurance in government agencies and institutions.The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision fully utilizes the advantages of "office-grouping and local" linkage. On the one hand, it urges and promotes functional departments at all levels to check cards by person and check people by card, and conducts comprehensive verification from door to door, focusing on issues such as multiple acquisitions and false registrations; on the other hand, it sends multiple supervision teams to various places for inspection and supervision, and the discipline inspection and supervision teams of the Provincial and Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision stationed in human resources and social security, public security, audit, health, civil affairs and other departments are closely following the lines and strengthening supervision.
As of now, Hunan Province has investigated and rectified more than 4,700 related problems, stopped payment of 340 million yuan, and recovered 570 million yuan of pension insurance benefits; discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels in the province have seriously investigated and dealt with 431 cases in the field of social security, filed 310 cases, transferred 38 people to judicial organs, given 172 people discipline and administrative sanctions, and recovered or recovered economic losses of more than 53 million yuan.
In response to the chaos in the field of urban and rural pension insurance reflected by the Hengnan Social Security Fund case, such as multiple false claims and false claims in the field of urban and rural residents' pension insurance, and the problems exposed by the lack of strict implementation of the system and poor supervision efficiency. The Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision urges relevant functional departments to improve long-term mechanisms, strengthen warning education and daily supervision, and promote the formulation of a series of systems such as social security fund supervision and social security card management, internal control management of agency management, third-party audit, and management measures for the declaration and registration of dead people; establish a social security fund core data communication and verification mechanism, risk data sharing and comparison mechanism, etc., to solve problems such as non-connection and non-sharing of information.
is not only a social security card, but the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision also focuses on the field of people's livelihood, focusing on the medical insurance card and the "one card" of subsidy funds for the benefit of the people and farmers as the focus of rectification, and resolutely protect the vital interests of the people. On the basis of deepening the special rectification of social security fund management, special supervision and inspection of "clean medical insurance" has been carried out, focusing on designated medical institutions, pharmacies, pharmaceutical enterprises, functional departments, etc., and drawing the sword against stubborn problems such as fraud, excessive medical care, medical kickbacks, corruption and misappropriation. Up to now, the province's discipline inspection and supervision agencies have filed 100 cases, criticized, educated, helped and deal with 246 people, and recovered more than 22 million yuan of funds.
"The Hengnan Social Security Fund case exposed the gap between some regions and departments in Hunan in implementing the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the responsibility of governing the Party." Wang Shuangquan, member of the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Acting Director of the Supervisory Commission, said that the provincial discipline inspection and supervision organs must learn from this, thoroughly implement the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, focus on the "major issues of the country" that are concerned by the Party Central Committee and the people's concerns, and carry out rectification, strengthen supervision, and plug loopholes with a decisive and courageous style, and resolutely protect every "pension money" and "life-saving money" of the people.
