  Pensions for retired employees were paid in place on June 15th.

  According to national requirements, since January 1, 2019, Beijing has continued to adjust the basic pension for enterprise retirees (including those who have retired and retired), with an increase of about 5%. After the adjustment, the per capita growth will be around 220 yuan, and the average pension level will reach 4,157 yuan per month, which is the 27th consecutive increase of enterprise retirees’ pensions in Beijing.

  It is understood that the basic old-age insurance for enterprise employees in Beijing operated smoothly in 2018. In that year, the fund income was 234.24 billion yuan, the expenditure was 146.39 billion yuan, and the balance was 87.85 billion yuan.

  This adjustment is aimed at retirees who have gone through retirement procedures and received monthly pensions before the end of 2018. It is expected to benefit 2.57 million people, and the pensions will be reissued from January this year and distributed to the retirees of enterprises on June 15.

  It is reported that this adjustment will ensure that those with low level of treatment can appropriately increase the basic pension by adopting the way of high-profile for the lowest and low-key for the highest. At the same time, in order to give consideration to fairness, if a few retirees are lower than the next file after adjusting their pensions in absolute amount, the difference will be made up.

  Appropriately tilt to senior retirees.

  For retirees with early retirement time and older age, since 2007, Beijing has been moderately inclined to senior retirees when adjusting the basic pension for enterprise retirees. In 2019, we will continue to adhere to this practice, and the senior retirees who have reached the age of 65 or above before the end of 2018 will once again enjoy the four grades of preferential policies from 40 yuan to 70 yuan after adjustment according to the above-mentioned basic pension adjustment methods. That is, retirees aged 65 to 69 will increase their 40 yuan every month; 70 to 74 years old, each person will increase 50 yuan every month; Each person aged 75 to 79 will add 60 yuan every month; 70 yuan will be increased every month for each person over 80 years old.

  On this basis, for retirees over 65 who have paid for 30 years, the 5 yuan will be increased every month, so as to reflect the further preference for retirees with early retirement time, continuous service and long payment period.

  Separate adjustment of retirement benefits for old workers who participated in revolutionary work before the founding of New China.

  At present, the old workers who participated in revolutionary work before the founding of New China are generally over 80 years old, and the state stipulates that they can enjoy 100% retirement benefits. This adjustment will still be made according to the previous year’s method, that is, those who participated in the revolutionary work from July 7, 1937 to September 2, 1945 will receive an increase of 365 yuan per person per month; Those who took part in revolutionary work from September 3, 1945 to September 30, 1949 received an increase of 335 yuan per person per month. On the basis of the adjustment of the above two standards, they also enjoy the preferential policy for senior retirees, and this adjustment is generally increased by 405 to 440 yuan/month.

  At the same time, it is guaranteed that the retired military cadres, former industrial and commercial personnel and senior professional and technical personnel of enterprises will not be lower than the average level of pensions in the city after adjustment. If the basic pension of the above-mentioned population is lower than the adjusted average pension level of the whole city of 4157 yuan/month, it will be replenished to the average level. At the same time, senior retirees who have reached the age of 65 or above before the end of 2018 also enjoy the preferential policy for senior retirees.

  According to the national regulations, those who retire from Beijing institutions before the end of 2018 will also adjust the basic pension according to the combination of quota adjustment, hook adjustment and appropriate tilt, and will be paid in place before the end of June.

  More than 880,000 urban and rural residents have increased their pensions in 100 yuan every month.

  According to national requirements, Beijing will continue to implement the normal adjustment mechanism of basic pension and welfare pension in 2019. From January 1st this year, these two pension standards will be adjusted, and the 100 yuan will be increased per person per month for the groups enjoying basic pension and welfare pension. This treatment adjustment has benefited 888,800 urban and rural residents and is expected to be distributed before the end of June.

  According to reports, those who have received the basic pension of urban and rural residents’ basic old-age insurance and the old-age security welfare pension before December 31, 2018 will adjust the old-age security treatment standard for urban and rural residents from January 1, 2019, and increase the 95 yuan per person per month; In order to further reflect the preferential policy for the elderly, 10 yuan will be added to those who have reached the age of 65 or above before December 31, 2018. The per capita basic pension for those who have received benefits has reached 810 yuan, and the per capita welfare pension has reached 725 yuan.

  In addition, since January 1, 2019, those who are eligible to receive basic old-age insurance benefits for urban and rural residents on a monthly basis will have a basic pension standard of 800 yuan per person per month; The old-age security welfare pension standard is 715 yuan per person per month.

  Continue to adjust the regular treatment of industrial injury insurance.

  According to the regulations of the state, since 2001, the disability allowance for those who have been disabled due to work-related injuries and the pension for the dependent relatives of those who have died due to work have been adjusted year by year in Beijing.

  This year, Beijing will continue to adjust the regular treatment of work-related injury insurance. The scope of adjustment is for work-related injuries (excluding retirees receiving basic pensions) who enjoyed disability allowance before December 31, 2018 (inclusive), and workers and deceased people who enjoyed the pension for supporting relatives. It will benefit 15,000 people and will be implemented from January 1, 2019. The specific adjustment scheme is as follows:

  According to the level of disability, each person will increase each month: the first level of disability will increase by 380 yuan, the second level of disability will increase by 360 yuan, the third level of disability will increase by 340 yuan, and the fourth level of disability will increase by 320 yuan. The employing unit shall increase the disability allowance for the five or six injured workers who have not arranged for work, and the increase per person per month shall not be lower than that in 200 yuan.

  Adjust the pension for dependent relatives. The adjustment of the pension for dependent relatives of workers and deceased persons will increase 200 yuan per person per month. (End)
