□ Social insurance benefit qualification certification is an international common practice, mainly to establish an anti-fraud mechanism for pension qualification certification, prevent basic pension insurance funds from being fraudulently claimed, and maintain fund security.
The certification time is generally once a year, and the social security departments in different regions have different practices for the certification time arrangement.
□ In 2022, my country's annual social insurance fund income will be 7.1 trillion yuan, expenditure will be 6.6 trillion yuan, and the cumulative balance at the end of the year will be 7.4 trillion yuan, which can ensure that pensions are paid in full and on time.
Recently, the news that "the time for pension certification in 2023 will be advanced, and retirees must complete the qualification certification in January, otherwise the pension will be suspended" has been circulated in many places, causing widespread concern in the society. Some netizens worry that it is because of pension insufficient.
is this real?
In response to this statement, the reporter asked for confirmation.
The reporter noticed that the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has issued an urgent document to refute the rumors, and at the same time reminded the majority of netizens to be vigilant; the human resources and social security departments in Wuhan, Chengdu, Harbin, Zhengzhou, Hohhot, Changsha, Fuzhou and other places have also issued announcements to clarify. Human resources and social security departments in a few places also pointed out the qualification certification method for social security benefits in relevant announcements.
It is reported that this certification refers to the qualification certification for receiving social insurance benefits. The certification time is generally once a year, and the social security departments in various regions have different ways of arranging the certification time.
For example, Chengdu implements rolling certification, and the benefit recipients will be certified every 12 months starting from the month after receiving the benefits.
It is an international common practice to carry out this certification, mainly to establish an anti-fraud mechanism for pension qualification certification, prevent basic pension insurance funds from being fraudulently claimed, and maintain fund security.
Jin Weigang, vice president of the Chinese Society of Social Security and vice president of the National Institute of Institutions of Zhejiang University, said that some scammers trying to fish in troubled waters spread rumors, push fake websites, and induce some retirees and elderly residents in urban and rural areas to fill in the ID card, bank card and other information and profit from it.
So, how to authenticate?
The reporter learned from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security that the first type is facial authentication.
Face recognition self-authentication is performed by logging on to the website of the National Social Insurance Public Service Platform or official mobile apps such as "Handheld 12333".
The second is social service certification.
Elderly people and special groups with limited mobility apply for on-site certification, and staff from the Social Security Bureau come to assist in the certification.
The third is data comparison.
The Social Security Bureau obtains information on retirees by comparing data with departments such as public security, civil affairs, hospitals, and transportation.
If retirees or urban and rural elderly residents who are eligible to receive pensions do not go through certification within the certification period and find that their pensions have been suspended, don't worry.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security reminds that after the retirees take the initiative to contact the Social Security Bureau and complete the certification as required, the pension payment will be resumed and reissued.
Pensions affect the lives of hundreds of millions of retirees.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the level of pensions for retirees has continued to increase.
What is the current state of pension operations in my country?
Is there any possibility of the so-called stoppage, slow release or less release that netizens are worried about?
Jin Weigang said that whether it is the national basic endowment insurance for urban employees or the basic endowment insurance for urban and rural residents, the income of the fund is greater than the expenditure.
In 2022, my country's annual social insurance fund income will be 7.1 trillion yuan, expenditure will be 6.6 trillion yuan, and the cumulative balance at the end of the year will be 7.4 trillion yuan. The fund is operating smoothly.
my country's various basic pension insurance systems can achieve long-term balance of funds and sustainable development, can ensure that pensions are paid in full and on time, can protect the legitimate rights and interests of the majority of insured people, and enable them to enjoy old-age security in accordance with the law.
Li Shi, dean of the Sharing and Development Research Institute of Zhejiang University, also believes that judging from the current operation of pensions, there is no need to worry about the suspension, delay or reduction of pensions.
"There is no shortage of pensions in our country. Despite the adverse impact of the new crown epidemic in recent years, the financial subsidies have increased accordingly, which can ensure that pensions are paid in full and on time." Li Shi said.
