The administrative department, service system, and social forces under the leadership of the party committee have basically worked in the same direction as the "troika". form. The field of veterans issued a number of policies, regulations and documents, stepped up the preparation of the "14th Five-Year" service and support plan for veterans, and actively cooperated with the relevant departments of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress to further amend and improve the "Veterans Protection Law (Draft)."

During the public consultation period, the community paid great attention and put forward many constructive opinions and suggestions. The Department of Veterans Affairs will actively cooperate with the relevant departments of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, carefully study, and further modify and improve.
The formulation of the "Guarantee Law" is only a basis. As a law for comprehensively regulating the work of veterans, the enactment of the "Guarantee Law" is mainly to clarify the basic policies, principles, and main systems to provide a basic legal basis for doing well in the work of veterans in the new era. At the same time, the "Guarantee Law" also makes as many specific provisions as possible and proposes some innovative measures to enhance operability, but it is impossible to pass a law to solve all the problems in the field of veterans affairs.
While enacting the "Guarantee Law", the Ministry of Veterans Affairs has revised the "Administrative Measures on Disability Compensation" and "Administrative Measures of the Glory Institute", and is formulating and revising the "Regulations on Placement of Veterans" and "Regulations on Compensation and Preferential Treatment for Military Members" in conjunction with relevant military and local departments ", the "Martyrs' Commendation Regulations" and other supporting policy documents to promote the implementation of the basic principles and major systems established in the "Guarantee Law", and accelerate the formation of a systematic and complete policy system.
4 types of certificates including the "Disabled Serviceman Certificate" will be renewed from August 1st
In January of this year, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, together with 19 military and local departments, jointly issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Work of Preferential Treatment for Military Members, Veterans, and Other Subjects of Special Care", which clearly stated that it will provide services for retired soldiers and "three families" (survivors of martyrs, The survivors of soldiers who died on duty, and the survivors of deceased soldiers) uniformly produce and issue preferential treatment certificates. Cao Jun, Director of the Department of Supporting Military Special Care of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, said today that at present, the preparation and issuance of preferential treatment certificates is progressing as planned. Through in-depth investigations and visits to various military and civilian departments, the Ministry has coordinated research and scientifically designed preferential treatment certificate production, use, and services to ensure the realization of core functions such as "showing honor and implementing benefits".
Since August 1 this year, my country has initiated the renewal of four types of certificates: "Disabled Serviceman Certificate", "Disabled People's Police Certificate", "Disabled Reserve Personnel Minuteman Worker Certificate", and "Disabled Personnel Certificate on Public Service". Disabled military personnel with the "Disabled Military Certificate" can take free rides on city buses, trams and rail vehicles, and take preferential services such as a 50% discount on the normal fare for trains, ships, long-distance buses and civil flights operating within the country. Disabled people's police with the "Disabled People's Police Card" enjoy the same preferential treatment as disabled soldiers.
In addition, last year, the Office of the Central Committee and the Office of the State Council issued opinions specifically that retired soldiers who retired from active service in the form of government-arranged work had problems with non-insured and withdrawn payments. They were allowed to participate in insurance and make supplementary payments, and the supplementary payments were exempt from late payment fees; Yes, the time of enlistment is regarded as the time of first enrollment. This policy solves the problem that retired soldiers cannot participate in insurance if they want to be insured for many years, and cannot pay back if they want to pay. The reporter learned today that as of July 23, a total of 2.9 million retired soldiers’ social insurance repayments have been accepted across the country, more than 2.76 million people have completed preliminary examinations, and nearly 2.33 million endowment insurance repayments have been completed.
