Specific Content of Military Welfare Expenses

Military welfare expenses are life care expenses provided by the state to military personnel and various units of the military, in addition to the prescribed salaries, allowances, subsidies, and allowances for military personnel. They are collective and individual welfare benefits and are a supplementary part of military personnel's material and cultural living benefits. The welfare expenses for military personnel are stipulated by the highest command and leadership organs of the military in the form of regulations or rules, including items, scope, conditions, standards, and distribution methods. The main content of welfare expenses for Chinese People's Liberation Army soldiers includes: relief funds for living difficulties, subsidies for separation between spouses, subsidies for children's education institutions, rewards for parents of only children (health care expenses for only children), childcare education subsidies, honor funds for retired cadres, transportation expenses, special needs expenses, and special approved welfare expenses. In welfare expenses, some items are distributed to individuals on a monthly basis along with their salaries and allowances, and a management method of actual reimbursement is adopted; Some projects are managed on a lump sum basis according to standards, with no compensation for overspending; The balance will be transferred to the original account for the next year and standard management measures will be implemented. Therefore, managing welfare expenses well is of great significance for solving the practical difficulties in the lives of military personnel and stabilizing the army. The standard for calculating and collecting welfare expenses is based on the distinction between officers, civilian cadres, non commissioned officers, staff members, sergeants, soldiers, and supply system trainees. The final calculation and collection of welfare expenses are based on the supply strength and living expenses. In addition, the headquarters provides subsidies of 33% to 50% of the total welfare expenses received by major units according to personnel standards; The welfare payment standards for troops stationed in Tibet, Xisha, Nansha, and Xinjiang border defense forces are slightly higher than those for other troops

Relief expenses

Relief expenses are welfare expenses calculated based on the head count and standard, mainly used for subsidies and relief for the families of cadres, soldiers, and employees who have difficulty living, and can also be used for military blood donors or health subsidies for discharged patients. The relief funds shall be used exclusively and shall not be misappropriated. Relief for living difficulties should generally be submitted to the party or nominated by the party group, reviewed by the masses, approved by the party branch committee, and approved by a political organ at the regimental or equivalent level. Individual decisions are not allowed. If the amount of expenses is too large, it should be reported to the Party Committee for approval. The Party branch should regularly (six months or three months) understand and study the living difficulties of cadres, soldiers, and employees. If there are indeed difficulties, they should proactively submit a request for relief or subsidies from their superiors. The principle of using relief funds is to provide more subsidies for those with more difficulties, less subsidies for those with less difficulties, regular subsidies for those with frequent difficulties, and temporary subsidies for those with temporary difficulties

Subsidy for separation of husband and wife

The subsidy for separation of husband and wife in two places is to encourage families of military cadres to avoid accompanying the army as much as possible. The General Political Department and the General Logistics Department decided to give preferential treatment to active duty cadres who meet the conditions for family members to accompany the army but do not, and established a system of subsidy for separation of husband and wife in two places from January 1986. Distribution conditions: Firstly, for cadres below the regiment level who meet the conditions for joining the army and have an agricultural household registration or an urban household registration but do not have a fixed salary income; Secondly, for cadres below the regimental level whose wives have formal jobs in the local area and can be transferred to the military station for resettlement according to their military conditions, but do not come to the military station for resettlement; The third is to relocate cadres to border defense, islands, and difficult highland areas after their family members are transferred to the military or their wives are transferred to the military base for resettlement work according to their military conditions. Their family members will also relocate to these areas to resettle cadres who have difficulties. The subsidy for separation between husband and wife shall be paid monthly according to the standard. If both husband and wife are military personnel or if the husband is not a military personnel, they shall not enjoy the subsidy for separation between husband and wife

Subsidy for children's education institutions

Subsidy for children's education institutions is a subsidy to solve the problem of insufficient funding for kindergartens and children's schools organized by various military units, except for charging parents.

At the beginning of the year, they shall be allocated to each major unit through logistics supply channels, and allocation opinions shall be proposed by cadres and finance departments, and shall be allocated level by level and shall not be withheld. The public funds will be subsidized by the headquarters based on the number of cadres and employees of each major unit who are in the park or in school; Each major unit can reserve 15% for mobility; The remaining funds will be allocated by cadres and finance departments to kindergartens, kindergartens, and children's schools based on the number of women in the kindergarten and school, and will be used on a lump sum basis The Child Care Education Subsidy was established in August 1990 to address the issue of military cadres' children being unable to attend military kindergartens due to special circumstances. The child care education subsidy shall be paid to military officers, civilian cadres, and children under the age of 6 who have not attended kindergarten or have not joined the army. But for children who violate family planning and have children who exceed their birth limit, it will not be issued The only child parent reward fee is a reward implemented in July 1979 to implement the national guidelines and policies on family planning.
