To this end, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other relevant departments continue to improve policy measures, increase supervision, and highlight three principles:
One is to highlight "precision". Whether it is the identification of objects or the formulation of standards, we must strive for accuracy and strive to avoid wrong or missing guarantees.
The second is to highlight "in time". At present, most of the social assistance benefits are paid through socialization, and funds are directly paid to the personal accounts of the people in difficulty or the accounts of related institutions in accordance with the relevant procedures, minimizing the intermediate links.
The third is to highlight "security". The Ministry of Finance instructed all regions to continuously increase information disclosure, and after distributing and distributing funds, proactively disclose the distribution results to the society. At the same time, local governments are also required to increase the publicity of the content of the distribution targets and the specific payment amount.

First, give social assistance to people in need. Bring urban and rural families in difficulty into the Dibao system in a timely manner, and by issuing Dibao, their family income can reach the level of maintaining basic living. For the elderly who are unable to work or provide support, the so-called "five guarantee households" in the past, orphans and disabled people, etc., correspondingly provide subsidies for special hardship assistance, basic living security for orphans and disabled persons Waiting for the rescue and guarantee treatment to help them solve the special difficulties encountered in life.
Secondly, the pension and living subsidies will be distributed to the preferential treatment objects. In order to show concern for the care recipients, since 2005, the central government has increased the pension and living allowance standards of the care recipients and others by 15% for 15 consecutive years. According to the relevant work arrangements, further research and improvement of the pension and living allowance standards of the people who are eligible for special care will be further studied in 2020, which will directly benefit 8.6 million people of special care across the country. At present, the central government has already allocated 47.4 billion yuan in subsidies for preferential treatment in advance.
Third, the unemployment insurance premiums or unemployment subsidies are paid to eligible unemployed persons. For eligible insured unemployed persons and insured unemployed migrant workers, unemployment insurance money and one-time living allowance shall be paid in full and on time. At the same time, unemployment benefits will be paid to unemployed persons who have expired but still have no employment. (Finish)
