＂One Card＂ to Receive Financial Subsidies for Huimin and Huinong

Solve the problems of "multi-line card" and "separation of people and cards" from the source, benefiting the people and farmers-
Financial subsidy funds "one card" to receive

Minimum living allowance, living allowance for disabled people with difficulties, subsidies for purchasing agricultural machinery … In recent years, with the continuous strengthening of the national policy of benefiting the people and farmers, a large amount of financial subsidy funds have been distributed through direct remittance to beneficiary people’s bank cards (including social security card bank accounts), passbooks, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "one card"), which has played a positive role in facilitating the service of the people. However, at the same time, there are also some problems such as piecemeal overlapping of subsidy projects, irregular management of subsidy funds, untimely and inaccurate payment of subsidies, which have affected the implementation effect of the policy. In 2019, the relevant departments of the State Council carried out special governance activities in depth, and explored and formed a number of governance measures that can be replicated and popularized while seriously investigating and dealing with relevant outstanding problems.

In order to deepen the effectiveness of governance, with the consent of the State Council, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the National Audit Office, the the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office, and China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission jointly issued the Guiding Opinions on Further Strengthening the "One Card" Management of Financial Subsidies for Benefiting Farmers.

In 2023, one platform will be distributed.

According to the opinion, by 2023, all financial subsidy funds for benefiting the people and benefiting farmers that are directly paid to households will be distributed in principle through the "one card" method; The regulatory pattern of overall planning by the central government, overall responsibility by the province and implementation by cities and counties has been basically completed; The realization of "one list management system" and "one platform to manage distribution" has significantly improved the scientific nature of subsidy policies and capital performance.

The distribution and use of "one card" funds will be innovated in the following five aspects: First, the list of subsidy policies will be announced to the public, so as to promote reform openly and accelerate the progress of clearing and integrating subsidy policies and project funds. At the latest by the end of June 2021, all provinces will centralize and unify the list of public subsidy policies to the society, and make dynamic adjustments in future years and announce them to the public in a timely manner. The second is to standardize the issuing financial institutions and solve the problems of "multiple cards are issued", "one person has multiple cards" and "separation of people and cards" from the source. The third is to standardize the process of granting subsidy funds, plug loopholes, and realize the institutionalization of management rules, standardization of procedures and clear operational authority. The fourth is to build a centralized and unified management platform to realize centralized collection and management of relevant data and provide guarantee for information disclosure and strengthening supervision. Fifth, disclose subsidy information according to laws and regulations, and actively accept supervision by the masses and public opinion.

Agricultural subsidy policy is an important part of the national policy of strengthening agriculture and benefiting farmers. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that it will further strengthen coordination and cooperation with relevant departments and do the following main tasks: First, vigorously promote the information management of agricultural subsidy data, establish and improve the verification and supervision mechanism for accurate subsidies to households, and promote the unified and centralized distribution of subsidies for benefiting farmers, so as to achieve "one policy and one card", and prohibit "issuing cards outside the card" and "layer-by-layer transfer"; Constantly optimize and improve the management mechanism of agricultural subsidies, improve the management mode of "big project+task list" for agricultural-related transfer payments, and grasp the key links such as task list and performance target formulation, fund allocation, task release and performance evaluation, so that the "one card" can truly become a "clear card", "happiness card" and "affordable card" for farmers; Continue to increase the inspection and punishment of violations.

Social assistance funds such as the minimum living security, assistance and support for the extremely poor, and temporary assistance are the "life-saving money" of the people in need, which is related to the vital interests of the people in need. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs said that the two subsidy funds for the disabled will be socialized and deposited in the disabled account through financial institutions. At the same time, we will do a good job in information sharing and data docking, strengthen the monitoring, comparison and dynamic management of subsidy information, and promote the open, transparent and standardized management of subsidy funds.

Carry out the social security card as the carrier to distribute funds.

The opinions are clear, and it is encouraged to implement the social security card as the carrier to distribute subsidy funds. The person in charge of the relevant departments said that the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader proposed at the symposium on solidly promoting the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta that it is necessary to explore the establishment of a "one card" for residents’ services with social security cards as the carrier. Social security cards have a good mass base, and the number of cardholders has reached 1.329 billion, covering about 95% of the population. They are widely used in the fields of people’s livelihood services such as social security payment, payment of benefits, medical treatment and medicine purchase. Issuing financial subsidy funds for benefiting the people and farmers through social security cards is conducive to continuously optimizing the government’s basic public services. Taking Sichuan Province as an example, since the "one card" special governance was launched in 2018, all the financial subsidies for benefiting the people and farmers have been collected into social security cards for centralized and unified distribution, which has achieved good practical results.

The social security card is used as the carrier to distribute subsidy funds. For the people who enjoy subsidies, it is not necessary to apply for bank cards and register bank accounts repeatedly; For grass-roots staff, online verification can improve the audit efficiency and shorten the distribution cycle; For government departments, the payment of subsidies through the social security card "one card" can realize the centralized collection and management of all kinds of distribution information, which is conducive to strengthening the supervision of funds and making every penny safely and timely distributed to the masses.

Strengthen the supervision of special funds

The opinion requires the relevant departments of the State Council to further strengthen communication and coordination, establish and improve the inter-departmental joint working mechanism, and continuously strengthen daily management, supervision and inspection; Relevant local departments at all levels should further strengthen management, timely discover and correct the problems existing in subsidy distribution, effectively form a joint force of supervision, and ensure that subsidy policies are effective.

The relevant person in charge of the the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office said that according to the relevant arrangements of the central government, after the completion of poverty alleviation, the requirements of the "Four Don’t Pick" should be strictly implemented, and the relevant policies remained generally stable. In the next step, in combination with the implementation of the opinions, the poverty alleviation department should continue to improve the announcement and publicity, and implement the requirements of "the results of the allocation of special poverty alleviation funds by the central, provincial, municipal and county governments will be made public, and the arrangement of poverty alleviation projects and the use of funds at the rural level will be announced and publicized", giving full play to the supervisory role of the 12317 poverty alleviation supervision and reporting telephone, the resident team and the first secretary; At the same time, it will optimize the distribution process, establish a regular data exchange mechanism with relevant departments, and embed poverty prevention monitoring data into the dynamic monitoring platform; In addition, it will strengthen the normalization supervision, cooperate with relevant departments to strengthen the supervision, inspection and performance evaluation of the use of poverty alleviation funds and projects, urge local governments to rectify violations of discipline and discipline in poverty alleviation, and actively cooperate with discipline inspection and supervision institutions to carry out special governance on corruption and work style in poverty alleviation.

The relevant person in charge of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission said that China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission will urge the agency financial institutions to strictly implement the agency agreement, improve the timeliness and accuracy of subsidy funds distribution, and encourage them to provide free, timely and itemized subsidy information notification services; Urge the financial institutions to provide convenient inquiry and withdrawal channels to the subsidized masses, and provide timely distribution information to relevant departments according to regulations; For financial institutions that do not strictly implement the real-name registration system in their work and have risks such as illegal agency and fraudulent subsidies, organize investigations, inspections and serious accountability.
