The fifth wave of the epidemic has hit all walks of life hard. The government launched the "Temporary Unemployment Support" scheme, distributing 10,000 yuan to eligible unemployed people.
A total of 130,000 of the 470,000 applications were rejected. Teng Jiabiao, a member of the Federation of Trade Unions, quoted the latest figures from the Policy Innovation and Coordination Office. A total of 17,000 applications were rejected and re-examination was required.
He appealed to the public who still want to review the case to submit a formal application as soon as possible within June. He also pointed out that the Federation of Trade Unions has assisted 2,200 cases, and it is estimated that more than half of the appeals will be successful. He suggested that the authorities use this experience to establish a regular unemployment assistance scheme.
Advocate for regularization of the plan and prepare for immediate assistance in case of another outbreak
Tang Jiabiao said that the authorities may want to complete the entire "Temporary Unemployment Support" program within June, including the handling of appeals and review cases. Therefore, he appeals to all citizens who are prepared or want to review appeals to submit formal applications to government departments as soon as possible.
He said that the project will end one day, worrying that it will be difficult to handle it after June, and reminded citizens who have submitted applications to pay attention to calls from unknown sources that may be calls from the government.
Tang Jiabiao said that the Federation of Trade Unions has handled more than 2,200 cases for help, assisting applicants to submit supplementary information and understand the actual situation. It is estimated that more than half of the cases have been appealed.
He believes that the unemployment assistance program should be regularized. He pointed out that many unemployed people may not apply for CSSA due to the epidemic and economic factors. He suggested that the authorities use this experience to establish a regular and formal unemployment assistance program, combining job matching, Training and basic allowances.
He also pointed out that the epidemic may worsen at any time, and urged the government to establish a counter-cyclical temporary unemployment assistance program. When the epidemic unfortunately breaks out again and the epidemic prevention regulations need to be tightened, it can be activated immediately to assist citizens in need.
