我国已开通104项全国性跨地区社保服务

CCTV.com reports (Xinwen Lianbo): Reporters learned from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security that, to date, the national public social insurance service platform has launched 104 nationwide, cross-regional services and handled a cumulative 11.353 billion service uses.

Recently, Qingdao's human resources and social security authorities launched new services, including preliminary reviews for employee retirement and online retirement applications. The locality has connected enterprises' human resources systems with social insurance administration systems, enabling company staff handling these matters to complete the procedures within their company's own system. Related medical insurance and housing provident fund matters are processed jointly at the same time. Employees no longer need to make repeated trips themselves to submit documents; their employers handle the entire process on their behalf.

Not long ago, Qinhuangdao in Hebei completed connections with the social insurance systems of every province nationwide. Previously, when insured people applied to transfer their pension insurance, they had to wait for the locality where they were formerly insured to remit the money in their individual accounts separately, transaction by transaction. Their pension insurance coverage could not be carried over until the funds arrived, and the entire process took at least two weeks. Now, after an insured person submits an application, pension contribution records and pension insurance coverage are carried over and recognized first, while social insurance authorities periodically settle the funds collectively in the background. The procedure can be completed within five working days, or as quickly as the same day.

This year, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region added nine such social insurance services that can be processed across provincial boundaries, bringing the total to 42. They cover frequently used services such as enrollment for people in flexible employment and verification of eligibility for pension benefits. To date, the national public social insurance service platform has launched 104 nationwide, cross-regional services, including social insurance entitlement record inquiries, pension insurance transfers, applications for exemption from overseas social insurance contributions, and unemployment benefit applications. More than 80% of social insurance transactions nationwide are handled online.
