> five years of sales in hangzhou and the household is still in its home county, li xiao, has spent an extra $200 a month on a friend company over the past five years for continuous social security, and more than $12,000 a month for service alone. In may 2026, the state council's opinion on the implementation of the implementation of the implementation of the provision of basic public services in the homes of permanent residence was officially published, in conjunction with the new deal of “unleashing, three flexible” launched by the ministry of human welfare. ** **240 million flexible workers, like him, were finally able to legally pay their employee's social security contributions at the place of employment without the need for the “local household account”. This is not a stand-alone pilot for a city, but a national-level system that is loosed. In march 2026, the provinces of shanxi were the first to land, and after may, the whole country was pushed across the country, with the core being the delinking of basic public services from household registration, with the goal of “go-and-go”. The director of planning and finance department of the ministry of human welfare, zhang ling xin, made it clear at the state council policy routine conference on 26 may that the aim was to break down the barriers to household registration and to ensure that participation was “renewable and fairly treated”. # how does the so-called “one-off” of mixed social security, i. E., a nationwide general liberalization of the residence restrictions for flexible employment of workers in old-age pension schemes, operate once their civil status is loosed? Currently, persons with flexible expatriate employment are directly insured at the place of employment on the basis of ** identification card and employment certificate** (e. G. Rental contract, platform work agreement) or local residence permit. Processes are now fully online: - applications are submitted through ** “12333” ap** or the public service platform for state social insurance, which in most municipalities is approved for one to three working days! (blockview://markdown-image-tos-cn-cn-tt/6bd4688e2b654b8bbbf8bbbf4feb2ba9b5773) - carrying identity cards offline to an agency of the social security institute or a street people's service centre, can be done on-site, and more importantly, you will be entitled to the same old-age, medical and health-care entitlements as those of local household members**, and health-care reimbursement rates and pension calculation criteria will no longer be reduced by virtue of the status of “offers”. # # the “three flexibility” can save you much of the pressure of cash flow “three flexibility” to directly target the loss of income of flexible workers: - ** flexibility of access**: free choice of place of employment or domicile, transfer of urban working hours, automatic consolidation of years of contributions, ** flexibility of contribution base**: selection of slots in local social security scales** between 60 per cent and 300 per cent**, overpayment of high incomes, underpayment of low income - ** flexibility of contribution time**: support for monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual contributions, allowing for the payment of arrears during the year. In the case of the contribution base of $5,000, in the past, an intermediary was required to pay approximately $1750 per month for social security and services, with total expenditure approaching $2,000, while individuals in a flexible employment status usually paid only about $1,400 per month for both old-age and medical care. ** hundreds of dollars a month, thousands a year.** in addition, since march 2026, various parts of the country have begun to reduce the rate of contributions to the old-age pension for workers in flexible employment by 45 cents per month. # occupational injury protection is extended, and platform operators are most concerned about what, if old-age insurance addresses the “long-term debt”, and occupational injury security addresses the “immediate risk” of the expatriate rider, the car driver. The pilot, which began in 7 provinces and municipalities in 2022, expanded to 17 provinces in 2025, covering more than 27 million people, and directly to 31 provinces (districts and municipalities) and xinjiang production and construction corps in 2026. Since july of this year, platform enterprises in the three main sectors of travel, immediate distribution and community freight** have been incorporated in the overall pilot phase, including 14 national platforms such as t3 trips, flower piglets, box-breeders, tinkles, and uu-legs, and will be gradually covered by small and medium-sized platforms in accordance with the principle of “maturity, integration”. The innovative contribution model is** “daily insured, single-rated”** and the platform's orders are implemented during the period of their execution — including on-line standby, handing over of invoices and even waiting to be returned — in a guaranteed period. What does that mean? Prior to the fall of a delivery rider on the way home, the local social authorities initially failed to recognize the occupational injury; the review body finally clarified that the return waiting period was a necessary part of the continuity of service and should be included in the working hours. The logic of such “complete work chain” is emerging as an institutional consensus for job injury security in new forms of employment. # the policy has been put in place and what you can now do to decode the policy will become an enforceable action. # if you're one of the 240 million people, there are three things that can be done immediately: - ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **. The registration of flexible employment participation directly at the place of employment through the “hand-over 12333” app or the public service platform of the state social insurance is legally compliant and less costly. - ** retain employment documentation**. Tenancy contracts, platform-worker agreements or individual business licences are the most direct supporting documents for your permanent residence. - **verified platform participation**. If you are an internet car driver, out-of-home rider, or co-car operator, you can confirm to the platform, starting in july, the occupational injury insurance coverage to ensure that “every one is guaranteed and everyone is guaranteed” is not lost。
