In recent years, Shiyan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have attached great importance to social assistance, insisted on establishing and improving the urban and rural social assistance system as a major event to implement Scientific Outlook on Development, coordinate urban and rural development, ensure and improve people's livelihood, and build a harmonious Shiyan, constantly improved policies, increased investment, and strengthened measures, and initially established a social assistance system framework based on urban and rural subsistence allowances, rural five guarantees, and disaster relief, supplemented by medical care and temporary assistance, and supplemented by special assistance such as education and housing.
First, the main achievements of Shiyan social assistance work
1, rural subsistence allowances are institutionalized from scratch. The work of rural minimum living security in this city was started in 2007, and the rural minimum living security system was formed by the overall transition of regular quantitative assistance. The initial population is 96,000, and the average monthly subsidy is given to 30 yuan. Since 2008, the city has expanded the scale of rural subsistence allowances for three consecutive years and raised the level of subsidies in a timely manner. By the end of 20 10, the number of rural residents in the city had increased from 96,000 to 243,000, an increase of 2.5 times, accounting for10% of the total agricultural population in the city; The monthly per capita subsidy was raised from 30 yuan to 62 yuan; The total amount of funds issued in the whole year increased from 64 million yuan to 654.38+0.6 billion yuan, an increase of nearly three times, basically achieving the expected goal of starting from scratch with low standards and wide coverage.
2. Urban minimum living standard should be standardized. The city's urban minimum living security system has been established since 1997. After many times of expansion and cleaning, the security capability and service level have been continuously improved. Since 2008, the number of urban subsistence allowances in the city has been stable at around 90,000, accounting for10% of the non-agricultural population; The average monthly subsidy increased from 1 17 yuan to 144 yuan, with an increase of 23%; The total amount of funds issued in the whole year increased from 654.38+0.4 billion yuan to nearly 654.38+0.8 billion yuan, an increase of 28%. In the management and distribution of low-income insurance, mechanisms such as classified insurance, temporary price subsidies, bank payment subsidies and natural improvement of subsidy standards have been established, and standardized operation and dynamic management have basically been realized.
3. Five-guarantee households realize standardized distribution. The city has included 29 103 people in the five-guarantee policy. Rural welfare centers 174, beds 15349, rural welfare centers 152 1 person, with a centralized support rate of 52.3%. For the decentralized support objects, take home support, foster care of relatives and friends, sign support agreements and other ways to better take care of the basic life of the decentralized five-guarantee objects. At the same time, the financial subsidy standards for centralized support and decentralized support for rural five-guarantee recipients in the city have been raised from 1.500 yuan and 1.000 yuan per person per year in 2008 to 2 1.000 yuan and 1.600 yuan per person per year in 20 1 year, with increases of 40% and 40% respectively. Since 2008, the city has distributed five-guarantee funds of1.1.90 billion yuan, basically realizing that rural five-guarantee recipients are insured according to the standard.
4. Medical assistance is timely and humanized. The medical assistance system for the urban and rural poor in this city was established in 2005. After many adjustments and improvements, a "five-in-one" rescue service system has basically been formed, including one-time serious illness proportion assistance, outpatient assistance, residents' medical insurance assistance, participation in the new rural cooperative medical system, and preferential relief for designated hospitals. Since 2008, the city has raised 65.438+008 billion yuan of medical assistance funds for the urban and rural poor, distributed 89.82 million yuan, and fully subsidized 660,000 urban and rural low-income and five-guarantee recipients, with the participation rate reaching 654.38+000%; 48,000 outpatient and inpatient medical assistance were provided; The limitation of diseases was completely abolished, and the deductible line was reduced. The maximum amount of urban assistance has been raised from 3,000 yuan in the first year to 8,000 yuan, effectively alleviating the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment for urban and rural people.
5, disaster relief and disaster reduction to achieve scientific collaboration. During 2008-20 10, the population affected by various natural disasters in the city was 6.448 million, and 65.438+0089 million people were resettled urgently. There were 38,570 houses collapsed 140 1 household and 54 crops were affected. In carrying out disaster reduction and relief work, the city has continuously strengthened the construction of disaster reduction system and mechanism, improved the work flow and plan of natural disaster relief, and built a number of disaster relief materials warehouses, which has improved its ability to cope with natural disasters year by year. In the past three years, the city has raised and distributed 654.38+0.89 billion yuan of natural disaster relief funds, provided living and medical assistance to 796.5438+0.6 million victims, restored 38,570 collapsed houses, and implemented 3,942 dangerous house renovation projects, effectively ensuring the basic livelihood of the people in the disaster areas and social stability in the disaster areas.
6, vagrants and beggars rescue timely interaction normalization. Since 2008, the city has adhered to the principle of "civilized assistance, voluntary assistance and free assistance", receiving and persuading 28,800 vagrants and beggars, and providing life assistance and return assistance to 23,360 people. At the same time, efforts have been made to help and protect street children and patients, including 3,894 homeless minors and 3 10 mental patients, critically ill patients and patients with infectious diseases. The project of the rescue and protection center (rescue station) for street minors is under construction and will be completed and put into use soon.
Two, the main measures to strengthen the social assistance work in Shiyan City
1. Establish a social assistance system that keeps pace with the times. The municipal party committee and the municipal government regard the establishment and improvement of the social assistance system as the premise of consolidating social assistance work, the important content of safeguarding and improving people's livelihood, and the basic requirements for implementation according to law, and timely study and formulate the policy guarantee basis for social assistance work. A series of institutional documents have been issued successively, such as Notice on Implementing the Minimum Living Security System for Rural Residents, Shiyan City Emergency Plan for Natural Disasters, Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Civil Affairs in the New Period, Notice on Incorporating Eligible Poor Land-lost Farmers into the Urban and Rural Relief Scope, Guiding Opinions on Standardizing Serious Diseases Relief for Urban and Rural Poor People, and Temporary Relief System. At the same time, the party committees and governments of counties and cities have also issued a series of social assistance documents and management systems accordingly. These social assistance systems are interrelated, interconnected and complementary, forming an organic system and weaving an effective social assistance network with wide coverage.
2, increase investment, and strive to promote social assistance and people's livelihood needs. Party committees and governments at all levels in the city regard increasing capital investment as an important guarantee for doing a good job in social assistance and meeting the basic needs of the recipients to the greatest extent. From 2008 to 20 10, the city raised a total of 65.438+0.328 billion yuan of social assistance funds, of which 65.438+0.10.47 billion yuan was obtained from the central and provincial governments, accounting for 86% of the total, and the financial arrangements of cities and counties were 65.438+0.865438 billion yuan. Among them, in 20 10, the total social assistance funds in the city reached 498 million yuan, an increase of 40% over 358 million yuan in 2008. At the same time, since 2008, the municipal and county governments have included urban and rural subsistence allowances (including land-lost farmers' assistance), the renovation of dilapidated houses in rural areas, and the construction of rural welfare homes as hard targets for four consecutive years, making public commitments to the people of the city and implementing them one by one, with a total investment of more than 48 million yuan.
3. Grasp the norms and urge social assistance to be accompanied by fairness and justice. Standardize management to promote the fairness of social assistance results and effectively improve the quality of recipients. Our city's application for urban and rural subsistence allowances is based on the procedures of village (neighborhood), township (street), county-level civil affairs department's three-level appraisal and village (neighborhood) and county-level civil affairs department's "two publicity", and it is checked through three links: household survey, income verification and democratic appraisal. For the rural five-guarantee objects supported centrally, follow the procedures of "voluntary application, democratic appraisal by village committees, township audit, and examination and approval by county-level civil affairs departments"; For the object of decentralized support, the certificate will be issued to the person, and the guardian will sign a guardianship responsibility letter to implement the responsibility. At the same time, on the basis of classified management and classified insurance for low-income residents, we will strengthen the supervision of urban and rural low-income residents by establishing a time-limited security system for low-income residents, a public welfare labor system, a priority employment training system, and a perennial publicity system, adopting a spot check system, a declaration system, computer approval, and household surveys to ensure the openness, transparency, fairness, and justice of the implementation of social assistance policies. For example, in terms of urban subsistence allowances, nine counties and cities in the city have won the honorary title of provincial A-level standardized management.
4. Promote cooperation and the connection between social assistance and public services. In the process of implementing social assistance, in cooperation with relevant functional departments such as civil affairs, finance, auditing, supervision and banking, a socialized distribution mechanism of assistance funds has been established, forming a distribution mode of "the civil affairs department approves the objects and subsidy standards, the financial department allocates funds, and the bank sends them to people, and the auditing and supervision departments supervise". With the special preferential treatment of the special subsistence allowance account, the bank is exempted from household fees, and the funds go directly to the personal subsistence allowance account, which improves the actual distribution effect. A multi-channel and multi-field relief pattern has been established in health, education, justice, labor and social security, poverty alleviation, power supply and water supply, charity and other departments, which has effectively reduced the economic burden of people in need in medical care, schooling, housing and other aspects of production and life, and achieved good results.
Three, the main problems in promoting the Shiyan social assistance work
1, the subsidy level is low, and the contrast between urban and rural areas is large. Judging from the level of urban and rural subsistence allowances, the actual level of protection in our city is still lower than the provincial average. The monthly per capita urban subsistence allowance in the whole city is 144 yuan, which is lower than the provincial average 163 yuan 19 yuan, and ranks 1 1 among the seven cities and states in the whole province. The monthly per capita subsidy for rural subsistence allowances in 62 yuan is lower than the provincial average in 66 yuan by 4 yuan, ranking 10 among the seven cities and states in the province. At the same time, there is a big gap between urban and rural security levels. The urban minimum living standard is 280 yuan every month, and the rural minimum living standard is 800 yuan every year, with an average of 66.7 yuan per month, and it is only a reference standard. The difference between urban and rural minimum living standards is 4. 19 times. The monthly per capita subsidy for urban subsistence allowances is 144 yuan, while the monthly per capita subsidy for rural subsistence allowances is only in 62 yuan, with a difference of 2.3 times between urban and rural subsistence allowances.
2, single financing channels, highly dependent on the world. The city's social assistance funds mainly come from the central and local financial input, especially from the central and provincial finance, with a single channel. There are obvious deficiencies in tapping social resources and expanding financing channels, and a diversified investment mechanism has not yet been established. Taking 20 10 as an example, the total amount of urban subsistence allowances in the city is 1.9 1 billion yuan, of which the central and provincial financial subsidies reach 1.72 billion yuan, accounting for 90% of the total. Local supporting cities and counties19.63 million yuan, accounting for only10% of the total funds; The total amount of rural subsistence allowances in the city is 65.438+0.75 billion yuan, of which the central and provincial subsidies are 65.438+0.57 billion yuan, accounting for 89% of the total, and the local matching funds are 65.438+0.852 billion yuan, accounting for only 65.438+0.1%of the total. At the same time, under the financial system of directly governing counties, due to the weak financial foundation and financial resources at the county level, the municipal finance is unable to give subsidies, and there are some cases of insufficient financial support at the county level, especially in rural subsistence allowances and five guarantees.
3. Lack of rescue facilities and weak carrying capacity. Judging from the current situation of rural welfare homes, there are 174 rural welfare homes in the city with 15349 beds, and each welfare home has only 88 beds on average. The average centralized support rate of five-guarantee recipients in the city is only 52.3%, which is nearly 5 percentage points lower than the provincial average of 57.6%. Because some welfare homes are in disrepair, the facilities are outdated, and the service function and carrying capacity are seriously insufficient, some people in the city are still willing to be hospitalized for centralized support. However, due to the limitations of beds and service facilities in welfare homes, it is difficult to provide centralized support for them. At the same time, natural disasters occur frequently in our city, especially in the last two years, showing the characteristics of increasing intensity, frequency, scope and loss. The task of disaster preparedness and relief is arduous and arduous. At present, the construction of disaster relief shelters in some counties and cities is lagging behind, lacking necessary emergency shelters and temporary resettlement sites for disaster relief, and lacking necessary emergency materials, equipment and appliances to varying degrees.
4. Insufficient personnel funds and low service ability. At present, there are 23/kloc-0 cadres engaged in civil affairs at the township (street office) level in the city, but only 20 are full-time, and the full-time staff at the community (village) level are even more vacant. The city's civil affairs departments provide direct assistance and services to more than 380,000 people in urban and rural areas all the year round. On average, each township (street office) is a full-time and part-time civil affairs cadre, who undertakes the workload of directly serving10.5 million people. At the same time, the total amount of social assistance funds in the city every year is only 2.5 million yuan. The direct service target is 380,000 people, with an average age of only 6 yuan, which is far from meeting the actual needs of social assistance, such as thorough investigation, filing and setting up cards, printing material reports, transportation and communication. Due to the shortage of personnel funds, the function and quality of social assistance services have been weakened.
Four, the main tasks of the current Shiyan city social assistance work
1, increase the integration of urban and rural subsistence allowances. According to the requirements of Scientific Outlook on Development, closely following the main line of "improving and safeguarding people's livelihood, coordinating urban and rural development and promoting urban-rural integration", starting from the long-term interests of ensuring the basic livelihood of urban and rural residents with difficulties, aiming at coordinating urban and rural development and narrowing the gap between urban and rural assistance, Shiyan City is located in Maojian District, and all counties and cities are located in Maojian District.
2, increase investment in urban and rural subsistence allowances and five guarantees. First, adjust and optimize the structure of fiscal expenditure, and increase the input of urban and rural social assistance funds in accordance with the requirements of public expenditure. While stepping up efforts, we will fully implement local matching funds for urban and rural subsistence allowances and five guarantees according to standards, and actively guide social forces to attract social idle funds to participate in social assistance work. At the same time, strengthen the supervision of social assistance funds to ensure the safety of funds. Second, increase the investment in social assistance funds year by year, and give appropriate subsidies to the grassroots to ensure the smooth progress of social assistance work. The third is to establish and improve the natural growth mechanism of security standards and subsidy levels, adjust the urban and rural minimum living standards in a timely manner, effectively improve the subsidy level of urban and rural relief objects, and meet the basic needs of relief objects at a deeper and higher level. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the urban and rural minimum living standard increased by 20% annually, the rural minimum living standard population reached and remained at about 250,000, and the per capita subsidy level increased year by year, reaching 100 yuan/month. With the strengthening of the government's financial resources, the level of security has gradually improved.
3. Strengthen the construction of social assistance infrastructure. Take government investment priority, units to help build, donations from all walks of life and the masses and other forms to raise funds. According to the plan, a number of rural township welfare homes will be built, rebuilt and expanded in stages, with more beds and improved service facilities. We will strive to improve the centralized support capacity in an all-round way through three to five years' efforts, so that the voluntary centralized support rate will reach over 80%, and more than 75% of township center welfare homes will meet the standards of provincial model welfare homes. Since 20 1 1, counties and cities have rebuilt and expanded at least three welfare homes every year, so that they can gradually meet the standards of provincial demonstration welfare homes, and all districts ensure that all the five-guarantee recipients in their jurisdictions voluntarily live in welfare homes. At the same time, put the construction of shelters on the important agenda, strengthen the maintenance and management of existing places, add "disaster avoidance signs", and on this basis, increase capital investment, scientific planning, rational layout, and build a number of new shelters.
4, increase the capacity building of township grassroots services. Fully implement the spirit of the document "Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Township Civil Affairs Organizations" compiled by the province, hang the brand of civil affairs office in the township social affairs office, and enable the seal of civil affairs office. Together with the existing 1 civil affairs assistant, the township authorities will make it clear that 1 person is engaged in civil affairs. At the same time, according to the township scale setting 1-3 public welfare posts (less than 30,000 people 1 post, 2 posts for 30,000-60,000 people, and 3 posts for more than 60,000 people), they are engaged in social assistance work such as civil affairs. At the same time, constantly improve the office conditions, implement the political welfare of grassroots cadres, strengthen business training and capacity building, and constantly improve the ability to analyze and solve social problems and manage social affairs, so as to provide a good working environment for promoting the steady development of social assistance.
5. Strengthen the standardized management of social assistance. First, adhere to the principle of "procedure, sunshine and restriction", improve the system, innovate the mechanism, and fully implement the standardized management of social assistance. Plan social assistance work at a higher level and with a higher standard, and earnestly ensure that all insurance should be guaranteed, dynamically managed, retired and standardized, so as to ensure that urban and rural minimum living allowances and five guarantees are open, fair, transparent and orderly. The second is to strengthen the management and service of welfare homes in accordance with the requirements of "standardization of living facilities, pastoral management of hospitals and hotel management". The third is to standardize medical assistance and temporary assistance. Actively promote the interaction between medical assistance and the new rural cooperative medical system and residents' medical insurance, and improve and perfect the ways of assistance before, during and after the event. Simplify and standardize the procedures for temporary assistance, with appropriate standards, standardized procedures and complete procedures. The fourth is to improve the emergency plan for natural disaster relief, gradually improve the comprehensive coordination mechanism, and promote the coordinated development of disaster relief and mitigation. By adopting various effective means and management measures, the city's social assistance work has generally achieved the goals of perfect system, standardized examination and approval procedures, orderly operation, high-quality service management and people's satisfaction.
