What's the difference between social welfare benefits in Canada and the United States?

1. "Child tax incentives" literally have nothing to do with milk. It was named by a native of China, which means that the money is enough for children to drink milk. In Canada, every child can receive this subsidy every month from birth to 18 years old, and the amount depends on the parents' income last year. Usually you can get about 100 in a month. Of course, some families with higher incomes do not have this treatment. The purpose of setting up this subsidy is to help low-income families and encourage everyone to have more children. Imagine that if you have six children, one month's rent will come out.

2. "Child care subsidy", in Canada, preschool education for children before the age of 6 is self-funded and expensive. A child's monthly childcare fee is 600-800 Canadian dollars, so many low-income families are unable to send their children to receive early education. Therefore, the government earmarked funds for this purpose. After new immigrants come to Canada, they are generally low-income families. Therefore, everyone can apply for this subsidy. According to your family situation, the government sometimes subsidizes half and sometimes fully. Note that this money is not for you, but directly for the kindergarten where the child is located. There is a queue to apply for this money, so you should register as soon as possible. Some people say that neither of us has a job and should be given priority. No! On the contrary, it thinks that since you can stay at home, it should be no problem to educate your children by yourself. They give priority to families where both husband and wife are working or studying, but they have little income.

3. "Government housing" (government housing). In order to ensure that "everyone has a house to live in" and low-income people can also get housing, the Canadian government allocates funds to build a large number of "government houses" every year, which are managed by specialized companies entrusted by the government and rented at extremely low prices, and are often beautiful buildings. Who can apply? In principle, anyone can, but its special charging method automatically excludes the rich. The basic charging principle is to pay rent according to a certain proportion of income, generally 25-30% of monthly income. If your monthly income is only 1000 yuan, you can live in a large apartment with two bedrooms, one living room and three bedrooms, one living room only by paying the house price in 250 yuan. But if your monthly salary is 10000 yuan, you have to pay 3000 yuan for the rent, which is certainly not cost-effective. One thing I want to tell you is that few people in China apply for government housing, because most of them live in low-income families, belonging to the bottom of society, and the living area often hurts their children's living environment, so they would rather spend more money and find a "good area".

4. "Employment insurance". You can't get the money when you just arrive in Canada. As the name implies, you can only get the money if you work for a period of time and lose your job. According to the current policy, if you work 9 10 hours in the past year, you can get this money if you are unemployed, which is generally 56% of your original monthly salary, and you can get it for ten consecutive months. Please note that there are several situations in which you won't get unemployment benefits. One is that you were fired by your boss because you made a serious mistake, and the other is that you resigned voluntarily.

5. Social welfare. This is a cornerstone of Canada's welfare system, which is used to ensure that every Canadian can maintain a basic standard of living, that is, people who have food, shelter, clothing and no income can apply for this money, single people can get 500-700 Canadian dollars a month, and a family of three can get1100. Because of this, Canada raises many lazy people and lives on this money. Many taxpayers have great opinions about this. The government has been trying to reform in recent years, but please note that new immigrants are usually not allowed to receive this money in the first six months, because theoretically everyone has to bring a sum of money, which can last for six months. "Will taking this money have any bad influence on the future?" Answer: No, it will not affect future employment and naturalization.

American welfare:

An unexpected accident may make people lose their ability to make a living, and an unexpected serious illness may consume their life savings. Living in the United States, no matter what happens, everything will be lost, and even life will be in trouble. Therefore, in the United States, in addition to the generally sound insurance system, various welfare facilities implemented by the government are also an important part of everyone's life.

The American government spends a lot of budget every year to provide employment and training services for workers, and subsidizes those who are temporarily unemployed. States and the federal government cooperate to help poor families, especially those with school-age children, and set up various institutions for the elderly and patients, and set up special schools for children with intellectual and physical disabilities. At present, most welfare measures come from the Social Security Law of 1935 and many subsequent amendments. Today, this bill has been widely applied to all American citizens. Due to the various protection measures of the social security system for American citizens, the social security number (every American has one) has become one of the most important identity documents.

The current social security system in the United States includes: (a) old-age insurance, (b) medical insurance, (c) disability insurance, (d) survivor insurance and (e). Unemployment compensation (F), public assistance and welfare (F) and other six major projects, these relief funds mainly come from people's taxes. Social security tax is shared by employers and employees, and the money is collected by the government to set up funds for various welfare measures.
