The reporter learned from the Ministry of Civil Affairs on the 7th that in order to cope with the impact of the epidemic on the lives of some people in need, the Ministry of civil affairs and the Ministry of Finance recently issued a notice requiring that the basic lives of people in need be effectively guaranteed. In areas seriously affected by the epidemic, a one-time temporary relief fund can be issued to people with temporary living difficulties. The circular requires that we do a solid job in basic living assistance such as subsistence allowances. Families with living difficulties that meet the conditions for subsistence allowances shall be included in the scope of subsistence allowances in a timely manner. A one-time living allowance will be issued to the minimum living allowance recipients and the extremely poor. We will actively promote the employment of those who have working conditions, and give a certain period of gradual retirement to families whose income exceeds the minimum living security standard due to the employment of family members. At the same time, we will pay close attention to price changes, promptly launch the linkage mechanism between social assistance and security standards and price increases, and issue temporary price subsidies in full and on time. The circular also requires that we should strengthen the assistance to unemployed people without sources of livelihood who do not participate in unemployment insurance. For those who are unable to return to work due to the epidemic, have no source of income for three consecutive months, have difficulties in living and cannot be covered by the unemployment insurance policy, and are not included in the scope of minimum living insurance, a one-time temporary relief fund will be issued by the jobsite or habitual residence upon their own application to help them tide over the difficulties of life. Temporary assistance shall be provided to the minimum living allowance recipients, the extremely poor, the people out of poverty with COVID-19, and the families with temporary difficulties in basic living due to the isolation and treatment of family members. For other families or individuals whose basic lives are in trouble due to the impact of the epidemic and whose relevant social assistance and security systems are temporarily unable to cover, they shall be given timely assistance through temporary assistance. In terms of the handling process, the notice points out that it is necessary to simplify and optimize the rescue procedures, actively apply "Internet +" and mobile app and other information-based means, and gradually implement the whole process of online handling of social assistance, so as to reduce crowd aggregation, reduce the risk of infection and improve the handling efficiency.
