The "Plan" pointed out that social assistance is the last line of defense to win the battle against poverty. It concerns whether the poor who have been completely or partially incapacitated can escape poverty as scheduled. At present, the fight against poverty has reached the critical stage of decisive battles and complete closure. In order to further improve the protection of social assistance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council have decided to launch social assistance to combat poverty.
The Plan specifies four key tasks:
(1) Improve and improve the monitoring and early warning mechanism.
—— Pay close attention to the basic living conditions of the population at high risk of poverty reduction due to poverty alleviation and return to poverty. The civil affairs department and the poverty alleviation department regularly conduct information comparisons to grasp the population who have not been lifted out of poverty and whose income is unstable, whose ability to continuously increase income is weak, who have a high risk of returning to poverty, and who are marginalized from the establishment of files. Relevant information on assistance to support personnel, analysis of the risk of returning to poverty, and a good job of safeguarding.
-Pay close attention to the basic living conditions of the low-income and difficult people. Establish an information sharing mechanism between social assistance departments. Based on the data of the subsistence allowances, special hardships, and temporary assistance objects, gather information about persons with disabilities, education assistance, housing assistance, and medical assistance, and analyze the possible impact on basic life. Risk, and timely rescue if qualified.
-Pay close attention to the basic living conditions of potential rescue targets. When checking the financial status of applicants and their families for social assistance and other financial assistance, analyze and judge the difficult situation of the applicants, and pay attention to potential persons or families who do not meet the conditions of assistance but have certain difficulties. The local civil affairs and poverty alleviation departments shall instruct the township (street) and village (neighborhood) committees to carry out targeted inspections based on monitoring and early warning, combined with the active discovery mechanism, and grasp the situation of the protection objects from household to household. The civil affairs department shall provide corresponding assistance or referral to the relevant departments according to the situation of the protection targets; for the poor people who do not meet the protection requirements, the poverty reduction departments shall coordinate and implement other assistance measures.
(2) Implementing the policy of safeguarding the bottom line.
——Strengthening the guarantee of minimum living allowances in rural areas. All the people who meet the Dibao policy among the poor people who have not been lifted out of poverty and set up a file in time, who have returned to poverty after being lifted out of poverty, and those who meet the Dibao policy, are included in the scope of the Dibao program. Severely disabled and critically ill patients who have not been lifted out of poverty to establish a file shall be included in the minimum living standard by referring to the "single family", and their families may no longer check their economic status, and they will be managed dynamically in accordance with the minimum living security policy after the fight against poverty. Consolidate the bottom line to guarantee the results of poverty alleviation, deduct the necessary employment costs according to regulations when calculating the income of Dibao households, and give a certain period of gradual retirement after the family's per capita income exceeds the local Dibao standard, to promote the active employment of the working poor and prevent the Lazy.
——Fully implement the policy of assistance and support for rural poor people. Further standardize the identification of the special hardship people, timely include eligible non-exemption poverty-stricken people who have settled into the poverty relief scope, give priority to providing centralized support services for those who are unable to take care of themselves, and strengthen the care services for the scattered support of the special hardship people . Enhance the bottom-up function of the extremely poor support institutions, speed up the setting and transformation of nursing beds, and improve the service capacity of those who cannot take care of themselves.
-Give full play to the role of the temporary assistance system. Simplify and optimize the procedures for reviewing and approving temporary assistance, improve the system of temporary assistance for townships and towns, and appropriately raise assistance standards to improve the timeliness of assistance. We will strengthen the connection between temporary assistance and the minimum living security policy, and provide temporary assistance to returnees and newly-increased poor people as appropriate. If life is still difficult after a period of time, they will be included in the minimum living allowance according to regulations. The fourth is to do a good job in social assistance related to the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Thoroughly understand the situation of families with patients with new coronary pneumonia and families with difficulties in living due to the epidemic situation, such as difficulty in employment and reduced income. Optimize and simplify the examination and approval procedures, and timely include eligible families or personnel in social assistance coverage such as temporary assistance to effectively protect their basic lives. .

We will improve the care service system for left-behind children, left-behind women, and left-behind elderly in the rural areas, implement orphan and de facto unsupported children's living security policies, and take various measures to support and assist special groups in need. Accelerate the formation of a comprehensive and dynamically updated national basic database of rural left-behind children, left-behind women and left-behind elderly, providing strong support for accurate care and services. We will improve the system of living allowances for disabled persons with disabilities and severe subsidies for the care of disabled persons, and intensively carry out care services for disabled persons with disabilities, and ensure that "the supplements shall be made up according to the standards".

(4) Increasing support for deep poverty areas. Various poverty alleviation policies, projects, funds, and talents continue to be tilted towards deeply impoverished areas such as the "three districts and three states", and support deep poverty counties, deeply poor townships, and poor villages to do a good job in social assistance.

The civil affairs departments of the eastern provinces need to increase their support for deeper poverty-stricken areas such as the "three districts and three states" by deepening social organizations' cooperation with the east and the west.
