Can retired soldiers apply for a military support card?

Legal analysis: veterans can apply for military preferential cards. The military support card is generally an exclusive debit card issued for active servicemen, retired servicemen or their families. The agreement between the Department of Veterans Affairs and the banking system on military support and preferential treatment promoted these plans. In order to fulfill national defense obligations, support national defense construction and care for retired soldiers, banks can enable soldiers and their families to enjoy convenient financial services and preferential policies, which is the general name of special bank cards for special care recipients.

Legal basis: Article 48 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Protection of Retired Military Personnel, people's governments at all levels adhere to the principle of superposition of inclusive benefits and preferential treatment, and give preferential treatment to retired military personnel on the basis of ensuring them to enjoy inclusive policies and public services, taking into account their contributions during their active service and the actual situation in various places. The standard of preferential treatment for retired soldiers should be improved.

Article 56 Citizens and organizations shall support national defense construction and provide convenience or other assistance for military training, combat readiness, defensive operations and non-war military operations of the armed forces. The state encourages and supports qualified citizens and enterprises to invest in national defense, protects the legitimate rights and interests of investors and gives preferential policies according to law.
