There is no cost. Simply bring your disability certificate and submit one application at your local subdistrict or township office.

Source return

Disabled individuals living in dibao households can receive a living subsidy. Those with a disability rating of level 1 or 2 who require long-term care are eligible for a care subsidy as well. Both subsidies may be claimed simultaneously. Each province sets its own amounts, which vary widely; check with your local office for exact figures. Bring your second-generation disability certificate and file one application at the subdistrict or township office.

8. Apply for the two disability subsidies using a disability certificate

Cost: There is no cost. Simply bring your disability certificate and submit one application at your local subdistrict or township office.

In plain terms: Disabled individuals living in dibao households can receive a living subsidy. Those with a disability rating of level 1 or 2 who require long-term care are eligible for a care subsidy as well. Both subsidies may be claimed simultaneously. Each province sets its own amounts, which vary widely; check with your local office for exact figures. Bring your second-generation disability certificate and file one application at the subdistrict or township office.

Benefit: The State Council has established these two subsidies. The first is the Living Subsidy for Disabled Persons in Need; it is intended for disabled individuals in dibao households, though local authorities may expand eligibility to low-income disabled persons and others in hardship if resources allow. The second is the Care Subsidy for Severely Disabled Persons, designated for those with a disability rating of level 1 or 2 who need ongoing care. Both subsidies may be received together.

Evidence grade: A

Sources: State Council of China (2015). Opinions on the Comprehensive Establishment of a Living Subsidy System for Disabled People with Needs and a Nursing Subsidy System for Severely Disabled Persons (Guofa [2015] No. 52). <https://www.gov.cn/zhengce/zhengceku/2015-09/25/content_10181.htm>

Notes: Provincial governments determine the subsidy amounts, which differ significantly across regions — ranging from just a few dozen to several hundred yuan per month. When applying, you must present a second-generation disability certificate. If you are unable to apply in person, a family member may do so on your behalf.

8. 持残疾人证的去申请残疾人两项补贴

成本: 不花钱。带上残疾人证,到街道或者乡镇提交一次申请就行。

说人话: 低保家庭里的残疾人,可以领生活补贴。残疾等级是一级、二级,又需要长期照护的,可以领护理补贴。两项能同时领。标准各省自己定,差别很大,具体问街道。带上第二代残疾人证,去街道或者乡镇办一次。

收益: 国务院定下了两项补贴。第一项是困难残疾人生活补贴,文件写的对象是「低保家庭中的残疾人,有条件的地方可逐步扩大到低收入残疾人及其他困难残疾人」。意思是先保低保家庭里的残疾人,地方财力允许的可以往外扩。第二项是重度残疾人护理补贴,文件写的对象是「残疾等级被评定为一级、二级且需要长期照护的重度残疾人」。这两项可以同时领

备注: 标准由省级政府定,各地差别很大,每月从几十元到几百元不等。申请要带第二代残疾人证。本人不方便的,可以委托家属代办
