Will Shanghai’s delayed retirement plan be officially implemented in 2022? What are the specific regulations? Attached the latest news

Recently, the 14th Five-Year Plan for Pension announced by the State Council clearly proposed the implementation of a gradual delay in retirement, and Shanghai residents are also very concerned about this. So will Shanghai’s delayed retirement plan be officially implemented in 2022? What are the specific regulations? The latest news is as follows:

1. Will Shanghai’s delayed retirement plan be officially implemented in 2022?

Shanghai did not implement the delayed retirement plan in 2022, because the country has only decided to implement the delayed retirement during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, and the implementation of a policy will take a long time. However, the Shanghai Municipal Department of Social Security of the Human Resources Sub-Industry has not issued a draft for soliciting opinions on delayed retirement and related plans, so those who reach the national statutory retirement age in 2022 can still continue to apply for retirement. The current statutory retirement age is as follows:

1. First, men who are 60 years old or above, female cadres who are 55 years old or above, female workers who are 50 years old or above, and female flexible employment personnel who are 55 years old or above can apply for retirement.

2. For special occupations, insured persons who are 55 years of age or above for males and 45 years of age or above for females and meet the early retirement conditions for special occupations may, upon consensus between the employees and the enterprise, choose to retire between the retirement age specified in this item and the retirement age specified in the previous item.

3. The third category is disabled persons, males aged 50 or above and females aged 45 or above, who are disabled due to illness or non-work-related reasons and have completely lost their ability to work as confirmed by the municipal labor capacity appraisal committee.

2. What are the regulations for delayed refund in Shanghai?

The Shanghai Human Resources and Social Security Bureau responded that the country has long had regulations on extending the retirement age for senior experts. In 1983, the "Interim Provisions of the State Council on Several Issues Concerning Retirement of Senior Experts" (Guo Fa [1983] No. 141) clearly stated that the retirement age of senior experts can be extended to 65 or 70 years old. Shanghai has been implementing the national regulations to date.

The country has no clear regulations on extending the retirement age for all types of talents other than senior corporate experts, but Shanghai has made some explorations based on actual conditions. In 2008, in order to alleviate the contradiction of shortage of high-skilled talents in enterprises, Shanghai issued the "Implementation Opinions on Delaying the Application for Basic Pension Procedures for Senior Technicians in Enterprises in this City" (Shanghai Human Resources and Social Security Bureau [2008] No. 4), which clearly stated that senior technicians in enterprises can also delay retirement in accordance with regulations. In principle, women should not exceed 60 years old and men should not exceed 65 years old. During the delay period, the enterprise and the individual continue to pay social insurance premiums and enjoy corresponding social insurance benefits.

In general, Shanghai's delayed retirement plan will not be officially implemented in 2022. This is just one of the country's 14th Five-Year Plan. The specific year of implementation will be subject to official notification.
