New policy on rural veterans’ subsidies in 2022: How much per month after age 60?

Soldiers are the defenders of our country. Since they live in military barracks for a long time and lack social experience, they have no income security after retirement. In order to solve the problem of the insecure life and future pension of rural veterans, relevant subsidy policies have been introduced. So, what is the new policy for rural veterans’ subsidies in 2022? How much money per month after 60 years old?

1. New policy on subsidies for rural veterans in 2022

Currently, subsidies for rural veterans are mainly divided into two categories.

Category 1: Pension subsidies for rural veterans. All veterans who are 60 years old or above can receive a pension allowance every month. The state has opened pension accounts for veterans. The number of years of pension insurance paid by veterans will be calculated based on the number of years of military service in the years of pension insurance payment. When receiving the pension, it will be based on the relevant standards for the payment of local annual pensions.

The second category: old-age subsidies for rural veterans. According to the relevant policies of the Ministry of Finance, subsidies will be distributed according to the standards of previous years. According to the regulations, all rural soldiers who retire in the future will receive a subsidy of 30 yuan per month based on their actual years of service, with an additional 10 yuan added for each additional year. For those who have served for three years, after they reach the age of 60, they can receive a rural veteran's later life subsidy of 30 yuan per month. It is understood that registration of veterans has indeed begun. Veterans can register with the community by bringing a copy of their ID card, household registration booklet and discharge certificate.

2. How much will rural veterans earn per month after they turn 60 in 2022?

According to the latest standards, that is, the subsidy standard promulgated on August 1, 2020, the military service subsidy for each year of compulsory military service is 45 yuan. For example: Li Liu joined the army in November 1975 and retired in October 1979, serving for 5 years. According to the national subsidy standards in 2020, the retired soldier’s old-age living allowance that he should receive is calculated as: 45*5=225 yuan/month. If the local government pays it out annually, the retired soldier’s old-age living allowance that Wang Wu should receive is: 225*12=2700 yuan.
