Recently, there has been news on the Internet that the certification of pension qualifications in some places has expired at the end of March, and pensions will not be received if the certification is overdue.

is this real?

  It is understood that the certification of eligibility for endowment insurance benefits, that is, the certification of retirees' survival, is an important measure to ensure that all types of people receive pensions on time and in full.

In the past, many elderly people had to queue up at the service window of the community or human resources department, or "hold up the newspaper of the day to take pictures" to go through the authentication procedures.

In the past two years, relying on Internet technology, the Human Resources and Social Security Department has completely cancelled the centralized certification of the qualifications for receiving endowment insurance benefits, using the convenience of information technology to make the masses "run less".

  At present, one-third of retirees in the country have completed the certification through data comparison.

That is to say, local social security departments obtain information on retirees by comparing data with public security, civil affairs, hospitals, transportation and other departments.

  How often is it certified?

The current practice is to certify once a year.

If during the certification period, the social security department does not find the information of the retirees through the information comparison, and the individual has no other certification methods, then it is possible to suspend the pension payment.

  The reporter was informed that even in this case, pensioners need not worry.

If you find that the pension has been suspended, you can take the initiative to contact the social security department to complete the certification as required, and the pension payment will be resumed and reissued.

  Why is it required to be certified once a year?

Chu Fuling, a professor at the Department of Labor and Social Insurance of the School of Insurance, Central University of Finance and Economics, said that setting the age limit is to prevent pensions from "running and leaking" and is a powerful means to maintain the safety of social security funds. The adjustment of pension increase varies from place to place, and the time is determined by each place.

Various places will certify before adjusting the pension payment amount, some places are March, some places are July.

Chu Fuling suggested that when the conditions are ripe, the same time can be determined to reduce misunderstandings while facilitating the certification personnel.

At present, data related to this can be shared on the national unified social insurance public service platform, and more efforts can be made in terms of convenience and aging.

  At present, my country has established a ministerial-level social insurance treatment qualification certification system, which provides remote qualification certification, travel data, remote assistance certification and other query and download services for pensioners in various places. Calculate.

  At the same time, Shandong, Jiangxi, Hubei and other places are relying on big data interaction to carry out "silent certification".

That is, the human resources and social security department regularly compares the full data of the treatment recipients with the survival data of the public security population database and the prison sentence data of the Ministry of Justice. Do not disturb "silent certificate".

Among them, the rate of "silent default certification" in Shandong Province has reached 99.9%, and the masses can check the results of personal "silent default certification" only through the recorded mobile phone number, without active certification.

In areas where the "quiet default certificate" has not been implemented, the elderly can also apply for the application through "mobile phone swiping", nearby banks and other outlets, and the service window of human resources and social services.

Even elderly people who go to settle abroad can complete the certification through the "Chinese Consul" mobile app of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

  Xie Yuan, deputy director of the Xingfeng Office of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said a few days ago that services such as green channels, whole-process agency services, and appointment processing will be fully implemented for special groups such as the elderly. Provide door-to-door service.
