Bok At present, in most areas of the country, the elderly health certification (also known as the annual review of pension qualifications) no longer needs to be queued up at the social security window. Most people can get it by taking out their mobile phones and swiping their faces for one minute. Elderly people with limited mobility can also apply for door-to-door verification. Many elderly people who often go out do not even need to do it themselves, and the system quietly passes the annual review.
Grandpa Wang, who lives downstairs in my house, is 82 years old. In the past two years, he had to ask his granddaughter to take time off to accompany him to the community service hall to have his fingerprints pressed. Last week, I met his granddaughter and said that this year, she directly searched the local "Human and Social Services" applet on her mobile phone at home, found the entrance to "Qualification Certification for Elderly Care Benefits", entered my grandpa's ID number, and asked grandpa to raise his chin and blink at the camera. Within half a minute, it showed that the certification was successful, and he didn't even leave the door.
Of course, not everyone can use their mobile phones. For example, some elderly people who live alone do not know how to use smartphones, or are disabled and bedridden and cannot cooperate with facial recognition. Just call the community or street social security station and say something. Now most districts have dedicated staff to handle such needs. After registration, they will make an appointment to come to the door for verification, so the elderly do not need to bother. In the past, it was occasionally exposed that some places had the unreasonable practice of asking the elderly to hold up the day's newspaper to the window to take pictures. In the past two years, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has clearly stopped this kind of authentication method that tortures the elderly. Every place is also optimizing the process, so this rarely happens again.
Many people may not know that there is a good thing about "non-inductive authentication", that is, the system will automatically compare the data that you usually use your senior citizen card to take the bus, go to the hospital to pay for medical insurance, or go to the community to receive benefits. As long as it can prove that you are living normally in the local area, you don't have to take the initiative to authenticate yourself. The system background will directly pass it for you. Many elderly people did not do any special operations this year and did not receive a reminder. They have automatically passed the annual review.
Don’t worry if you keep failing when scanning your face. Most of the time it’s because your current appearance is too different from the photo on your ID card. For example, you’ve lost a lot of weight, you’ve grown a long beard, or the light was too dark at the time. Just change to a bright place and try twice more. If you really can’t pass it, take your ID card to any social security service branch near your home, and the staff will help you verify it on the spot. It is now supported nationwide, and even the elderly who live in other places do not need to go back to their place of residence to apply.
