This also means that workers will enjoy more social security policy dividends this year. How much will the pension rise? The answer will be announced before the end of June As the "life support money" of the people, whether the pension can be paid in full and on time has attracted much attention. This year's government work report proposes to appropriately raise the basic pension standards for retirees and urban and rural residents to ensure that they are paid in full and on time. The opinions requires that the Ministry of human resources and social security and the Ministry of finance take the lead to issue relevant policies before the end of June. This also means that the pensions of retired workers will usher in "eighteen consecutive rises", and the pensions of urban and rural residents will also be improved. In terms of employee pension insurance, from 2018 to 2020, the pension of retirees increased by 5% for three consecutive years, and the increase was adjusted to 4.5% in 2021. 127 million retirees enjoyed tangible benefits. In terms of old-age insurance for urban and rural residents, 17 provinces and Xinjiang production and Construction Corps increased the basic old-age pension for urban and rural residents in 2021, benefiting more than 78 million elderly people, mostly rural residents. Up to now, Fujian, Jiangsu, Hainan, Tibet, Ningxia, Guizhou, Shanxi and other places have announced the provincial basic pension increase plan for urban and rural residential insurance in 2022. Starting this year, China will steadily implement the national overall planning of endowment insurance.

This also means that the direct settlement service of cross provincial and remote medical expenses will be more convenient and efficient, and the people's experience will continue to improve.

The class B drugs added according to the regulations in the original provincial drug catalogue should be gradually digested within three years. At present, local supplementary drugs are calling out the medical insurance catalogue. According to the regulations of the National Medical Insurance Bureau, the provincial medical insurance department shall complete all local supplementary digestion work before June 30, 2022. Up to now, the 2021 medical insurance catalogue has been officially implemented for more than four months. The latest medical insurance catalogue includes 2860 kinds of Western medicine and Chinese patent medicine, including 1486 kinds of Western medicine and 1374 kinds of Chinese patent medicine; There are 892 kinds of decoction pieces of traditional Chinese medicine. Since the establishment of the national medical insurance administration in 2018, a total of 507 drugs have been added to the national medical insurance payment scope, and a number of "divine drugs" and "zombie drugs" have been removed from the catalogue. How to protect "little brothers" from occupational injury? Continued during the year In recent years, workers in new forms of employment, such as express delivery brothers, takeout riders and online car Hailing drivers, have always been the concern of all sectors of society. The opinions proposed to strengthen flexible employment services, improve the social security policy for flexible employment, carry out the pilot of occupational injury protection for new forms of employment, and continue to promote it during the year. In 2021, including the guiding opinions on safeguarding the labor security rights and interests of workers in new employment forms jointly issued by the Ministry of human resources and social security and other eight departments, a series of policies related to the rights and interests of workers in new employment forms were intensively introduced. Previously, the Ministry of human resources and social security said that the pilot will clarify that the occupational injury protection of flexible employment personnel on the platform is the positioning of social insurance. It will be established and implemented under the framework of the current industrial injury insurance system. Starting from the travel, takeout, real-time distribution, intra city freight and other industries with high attention from all sectors of society and high risk of occupational injury, some provinces and cities with good work foundation will be selected for the pilot. At present, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Fujian and other places have carried out pilot projects of occupational injury insurance, which can be divided into two ways: establishing occupational injury insurance alone or being borne by traditional industrial injury insurance.
