According to the Beijing News, the review rules for low-income assistance in Beijing have been significantly adjusted, breaking through the long-standing "threshold" of determining eligibility solely based on family income declarations. The new regulations will include all aspects of family property status such as real estate, vehicles, stocks, and insurance under multi-department联动dynamic verification.
What exactly is low-income assistance? It's not hard to understand from the words "low" and "assistance". Together, their meaning becomes clear. However, as the "last line of defense" ensuring citizens' basic survival by the government, the low-income assistance system has repeatedly been breached: recipients of assistance own multiple housing units, some drive Mercedes-Benz or BMWs around everywhere, and high-end consumers are even more common. Where do the reasons lie? I believe that first, there are loopholes in the low-income assistance system, which only determines eligibility based on family income declarations, clearly a very one-sided approach; second, the implementation of the low-income assistance system is inadequate, allowing those who fraudulently obtain benefits to exploit these loopholes; third, "favoritism" in low-income assistance is quite prevalent in many places.
The adjustment of the low-income assistance review rules in Beijing and the establishment of a joint verification center for low-income assistance will effectively solve the aforementioned problems. Of course, no matter how good the system is, the key still lies in its execution. To ensure that the low-income assistance system truly "protects" "citizens' basic survival," it is necessary to strengthen the government's enforcement capabilities.
