Subsidy policy for rural veterans over 60 years old in 2022: How much per month?

Soldiers shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the country, so they deserve better treatment after they retire. In recent years, the country has attached great importance to the treatment of rural veterans, and has been improving and increasing it year by year. So, what is the subsidy policy for rural veterans over 60 years old in 2022? How much per month?

1. Subsidy policy for rural veterans aged 60 and above in 2022

1. The subsidy recipients are rural veteran conscripts who are 60 years of age or older and who joined the army after the trial implementation of the compulsory military service system on November 1, 1954 and before the implementation of the Regulations on the Placement of Retired Soldiers.

2. The definition of rural retired soldiers refers to those who were registered in rural areas when they retired and currently still have rural household registration, or those who were registered in rural areas when they retired and have since changed their household registration to non-agricultural household registration.

3. Those who have not received regular state pension subsidies and those who have received retirement benefits or urban employee pension insurance benefits are not included.

2. How much is the monthly subsidy for rural veterans over 60 years old in 2022?

1. Living allowance standard

According to the "Notice on Adjusting the Pension and Living Allowance Standards for Some Preferential Treatment Objects and Other Personnel" issued by the state on August 1, 2021: The monthly allowance per person will be increased by 5 yuan for each year of compulsory military service, up to 25 yuan per person per month for each year of compulsory military service.

For example, Wang Wu joined the army in February 1976 and retired in January 1981, with a service time of 6 years. According to the national subsidy standards in 2021, the retired soldier’s old-age living allowance he should receive is calculated as: 50*6=300 yuan/month.

2. Living allowance for veterans returning home with illness

For example, the Anhui Provincial Department of Finance recently issued a living allowance for veterans who return home with illness: starting from August 1, 2021, the subsidy standard is 8,460 yuan per person per year.

3. Disabled military personnel

Starting from August 1, 2021, the annual subsidy standard for level 1 disabled soldiers due to war, work, and illness will be increased to 106,670 yuan/year, 103,300 yuan/year, and 99,910 yuan/year respectively. The annual subsidy standard for level 2 disabled soldiers due to war, work, and illness has been raised to 96,530 yuan/year, 91,450 yuan/year, and 88,030 yuan/year.

4. Missing Red Army personnel

Starting from August 1, 2021, the annual subsidy standard for missing Red Army personnel will be increased to 33,370 yuan. The missing members of the Red Army refer to those who officially joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army (including the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces) before July 6, 1937, and were separated from the team due to injury, illness, battle failure or organizational mobilization, and performed well after leaving the team. They were recognized by the local people, examined by the township and town people's governments, and approved by the county and city people's governments, and were identified as the missing members of the Red Army.

Note: Since the pension and living allowance standards for preferential treatment recipients are formulated based on the actual local economic conditions, they will vary from region to region.

In summary, the subsidies for rural veterans in 2022 will mainly be in the form of living allowances and pension subsidies. Rural veterans who are 60 years of age or older and meet the requirements can apply for subsidies in a timely manner at the veterans service station in their township (street), or they can consult the Veterans Affairs Bureau.
