Retirement is a leisurely and satisfying time in the journey of life, and the monthly pension that arrives on time is undoubtedly the key to ensuring the quality of life at this stage. As July approaches, the majority of retired friends are looking forward to receiving their pensions, but there are two things you must not forget to prepare in advance, which will not only make your retirement life more smooth, but also avoid some unnecessary troubles. Below, let's talk about these two important preparations in detail, so that you can easily welcome your golden old age.
First of all: check the personal information to make sure the distribution is accurate
Pension payments are based on accurate personal information. You may not know that a small error in information can lead to a delay in the payment of a pension or a discrepancy in the amount. Therefore, the first thing to do is to carefully check your personal information, including but not limited to bank account information, contact information, residential address, etc., to ensure that this information is up-to-date and accurate in the records of the social security department.
How does it work?
- Bank account confirmation: Go to the bank or through online banking, mobile banking, etc., to confirm that the status of the account bound to the pension is normal, and there is no freezing or cancellation. At the same time, check whether the account information is consistent with the registration in the social security system.
- Information update: If you have moved, changed your mobile phone number, etc., remember to go through the information change procedures through the official website of the Social Security Bureau, by phone or directly at the service window to ensure that important notices can be delivered on time.
- Annual certification: Some regions require retirees to undergo an annual survival certification to confirm their eligibility for pensions. Complete the certification through the mobile APP, online service platform or on-site processing, so as not to affect the pension payment.
The second big thing: stay up to date with the latest policies and don't miss out on any benefits
Policies change from year to year, especially when it comes to benefits for retirees, such as pension adjustments, increased medical reimbursement ratios, and exclusive discounts for the elderly, all of which are closely related to your quality of life. Knowing and grasping the latest policy developments in advance can allow you to enjoy every care given by the state in a timely manner.
How?
- Pay attention to official releases: Regularly visit the official website of the Social Security Bureau, the official WeChat official account or download the official APP, which are all authoritative channels for obtaining the latest policy information.
- Community Connections: Join a retiree group or attend a community-organized lecture to hear from people who have come before you and sometimes learn some practical tips.
- Consult a professional: If you have questions about complex policy terms, you may want to consult a Social Security Bureau staff directly or hire a financial advisor to ensure that you understand it accurately and avoid misunderstandings.
Tips: Pension management and planning
While preparing for both of the above, it is also important to plan your retirement funds wisely. It is recommended to establish an emergency reserve fund to deal with emergencies; At the same time, according to personal circumstances, consider using part of the funds for stable investments, such as treasury bonds, time deposits, etc., in order to obtain additional income and make retirement life more colorful on the premise of ensuring the safety of funds.
