congratulations, Stripy Emperor! And felicitations to Mr and Mrs Lunatic for their years of service! May long your catnip grow!

We have our own 猫蛋, whose gracefully permits Mrs Late and myself to share his bed. (He usually tickles her nose with his tail, not mine)

His Imperial Majesty, Stripy Emperor, has declared today to be a public holiday.

8 years ago today, His Majesty was ransomed from a very dishonest cat dealer.  He then quickly conquered his new "owners" and took his rightful place on the furry throne as Emperor of all Kitty Cats.

Every time I've had a question other than the most basic, the best way I've been able to get an answer is to ask the local Social Insurance Bureau directly.  You may be able to book an appointment online.  If so, get one as early as possible in the day.  If online appointment reservations aren't an option in your city, find out what time they open in the morning and try to show up a few minutes before. Bring a list of your questions.

The Bar (ON-TOPIC) / Chinese Social Insurance Summary?
« Last post by Ivyman on February 29, 2024, 05:08:28 AM »
Hi Everyone,

1. About two years ago, my wife got me on the Chinese social insurance.

So far, it has been a great thing:

- Medical expenses are reimbursed far more than they were with private insurance.
- If I am disabled or die, my family gets payment
- All my tax money is paid into funds, so I can later get old age social security pension

2. I am kicking myself, as no one even told me about this for the eight years in China. Contrast that to Korea, where all workers (both domestic and foreign) get this from the first day.

3. Is there any book, website, etc., that tells me exactly what I am entitled to? Exactly what do I get? How transferable is this insurance from one workplace to another?

Thanks

And today is my other Chinaversary.  I first arrived in 2006, but on February 26, 2010, I arrived with only one plan.  To stay in China forever.

Most government agencies have websites.  National and provincial ones are easy to find.  Local ones may be easy or may take some digging.  If you know where it is and have a reason to be in the area, swinging by and asking might be faster than hunting on Baidu.

Is there any official site for: Xianghe Special Administration District, Langfang, Hebei?

It is right across the street from a Furniture City. So, there is some need for big transportation nearby.
