In order to help retired veteran cadres solve problems in life, ever since 2006, Yinzhou established a dynamically adjusted mechanism for the hardship subsidies paid to retired veteran cadres. According to the mechanism, their annual living subsidies should rise at the rate of 40% of the actual growth rate of the annual income of the average farmers. From July 1, the Party's Day, the district once again raised the standard for the living subsidies for the retired veterans. At present, the district has 154 such retired veteran cadres including the old guerrilla soldiers, liaison men, and the "revolutionary stronghold households". With the adjustment of the living subsidies, their monthly subsidy will rise for 56 yuan. To be concrete, the monthly living subsidy for the 132 veteran cadres who started their revolutionary work in the Anti-Japanese War shall rise from 350 yuan to 406 yuan. The monthly living subsidy for the 22 veteran cadres who started their revolutionary work in the War of Liberation shall rise from 340 yuan to 396 yuan. In addition, each of them will have a one-off living subsidy of 500 yuan. |
