In addition, Many regions across the country have also raised the basic pension of urban and rural residents' basic pension insurance in 2022. It is currently less than a month away from 2023, and the Lunar New Year in 2023 is getting closer and closer. Many retirees have begun to look forward to the payment of festival fees and raised questions: In January 2023, retirees Is it true that a unified payment of 1,200 yuan for the Spring Festival holiday allowance is true? When will the payment be made? First of all, according to public information and incomplete statistics, there are no unified regulations across the country for the payment standards for the Spring Festival holiday allowance for retirees. In some areas, there are only a few dozen Yuan or several hundred yuan, some areas will distribute some physical goods, such as rice, noodles, grain and oil and other holiday gifts. In some areas, there are no provisions for paying holiday allowances to retirees at all. Therefore, it is not correct for retirees to receive a uniform holiday allowance of 1,200 yuan in January 2023. After verification, the regions that have paid holiday allowances to retirees in recent years include Hangzhou, Shanghai, Ningbo and Guangzhou. Among them, Hangzhou City stipulates that holiday condolences will be paid to retirees of enterprises under social management, including 1,200 yuan for the Spring Festival, 800 yuan for the Dragon Boat Festival, and 800 yuan for the Mid-Autumn Festival, totaling 2,800 yuan. Hangzhou City’s 2022 Spring Festival Condolence Payment Notice Shanghai City’s 2022 Spring Festival condolence fee standard is 800 yuan for those under 80 years old, and 900 yuan for those over 80 years old. The 2021 Spring Festival holiday fee in Shanghai is 650 yuan for those under 80 years old and 750 yuan for those over 80 years old. It is worth mentioning that during the Spring Festival in 2022, Shanghai will also provide a one-time holiday subsidy to those receiving basic pension insurance benefits for urban and rural residents, with a standard of 400 yuan per person. Before the Spring Festival in recent years, Ningbo City has provided corporate retirees with a Spring Festival holiday allowance of 2,000 yuan per person, and a one-time subsidy of 400 yuan per person for those receiving basic pension insurance benefits for urban and rural residents. Guangzhou’s 2022 Spring Festival holiday fee standards are: 50 yuan for retirees applied for by the society and 100 yuan for corporate retirees. Secondly, according to notices from the Shanghai Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the Civil Affairs Bureau and the Veterans Bureau, Shanghai’s 2023 New Year’s Day and Spring Festival subsidy standards for helping the needy and providing warmth have been determined, and are expected to be distributed to 10,000 people, which are mainly divided into three aspects: First, the Civil Affairs Bureau’s 2023 New Year’s Day and Spring Festival subsidy targets and standards for providing warmth and warmth to the poor are divided into three aspects: First, for the severely disabled unemployed persons and other civil affairs regular quantitative subsidy targets, the unsupportable targets among rural subsistence allowance households, and the extremely poor support Holiday subsidies are provided to personnel, etc., and the subsidy standard is 1,000 yuan per person. The second is to provide holiday subsidies to households with minimum living allowance (excluding those who enjoy the "special target holiday subsidies" mentioned above) and households that enjoy expenditure-based poverty living assistance. The subsidy standard is 700 yuan per person per household, with an increase of 100 yuan for each additional person. . Third, government departments at all levels will continue to carry out warmth-providing activities in cold winter, especially when extreme cooling weather comes, and will further strengthen the rescue work for homeless people begging and temporarily trapped on the streets, so as to ensure that everyone who needs help is rescued. .

Families are given certain financial subsidies. Among them, Ningbo City will issue a one-time subsidy of 400 yuan per person to those who enjoy government maintenance for land acquisition, those who receive living hardship subsidies for survivors, and those who receive basic pension insurance benefits for urban and rural residents.

Guangzhou City provides pension subsidies to disabled soldiers, survivors of martyrs, survivors of soldiers who died in the line of duty, survivors of soldiers who died of illness, demobilized soldiers in the countryside, veterans who returned to their hometowns with illness, senior citizens, and retired personnel of the military involved in nuclear wars (including direct mining of uranium).

Finally, we need to remind you that the payment of holiday allowances does not fall within the scope of pension insurance benefits. That is to say, the payment standards and specific payment time of holiday allowances are mainly based on regional policy regulations, and not all retirees can enjoy them. All in all, whether the festival fee is paid or not mainly depends on the local economic development level. After all, the festival fee is just a benefit with regional characteristics, and the purpose is to provide a kind of humanistic care to the retired elderly.
