CCTV News:Yesterday (2nd), seven departments, including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the National Audit Office, the the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office, and China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission jointly issued the Guiding Opinions on Further Strengthening the "One Card" Management of Financial Subsidies for Benefiting the People. The "Guiding Opinions" clarify that a long-term mechanism for supervision will be established and improved to ensure that all policies for benefiting the people and benefiting farmers will be effective.
According to "Guiding opinions",by 2023, all financial subsidies for benefiting people and benefiting farmers that are directly paid to households will be distributed in principle through the" one card "method. The work of cleaning up and integrating subsidy policies and funds, standardizing financial institutions, building a centralized and unified distribution platform, and strengthening public publicity has been basically completed. The supervision pattern of central planning, provincial overall responsibility, and implementation by cities and counties has been basically completed, and the "one list management system" and "one platform management and distribution" have been realized. The subsidy policy is more scientific and the performance of funds has been significantly improved.
Carry out special treatment to ensure timely and full payment of subsidies
“universal debit/credit card"It has played a positive role in serving the masses conveniently, but when the relevant departments carried out special treatment, they found that the" one card "still had problems such as piecemeal cross-subsidy projects and irregular management of subsidy funds, which affected the implementation effect of the policy.
In 2019, seven ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Finance, jointly carried out the "one card" special treatment of financial subsidy funds for benefiting the people and farmers nationwide, and found that the problems were mainly concentrated in three categories.
Gao Jinxing, Director of the Supervision and Evaluation Bureau of the Ministry of Finance:For example, the phenomenon of multiple policies, multiple lines of cards, separation of people and cards, and multiple cards for one person have made loopholes in management, so that some funds that ordinary people should get have not been obtained.
Gao Jinxing introduced that during the inspection, it was found that some subsidized households held more than 10 subsidized cards, resulting in more than one card for one person, and the phenomenon of "one card for one thing" and "multiple lines for one card" was also common. Some county-level departments require farmers to set up a new bank card every time they issue subsidies, and some provinces have 27 subsidized banks. These problems are not conducive to the distribution and management of subsidies, causing inconvenience to the people to receive subsidies, and there is a risk that subsidy funds will be taken by others and taken.
However, due to irregular management, violations of discipline and rules have occurred from time to time, and serious violations of the interests of the masses have occurred in some areas, and the amount of violations detected has reached more than 300 million yuan.
In addition, during the special treatment period, it was found that 7.638 billion yuan of subsidy funds were not paid in time, 1.62 billion yuan of idle funds were not revitalized for a long time, and individual subsidy projects were idle for 16 years. The subsidy payment was not timely and accurate, and the idle waste of subsidy funds was prominent.
