The family needs to go to the local social security or civil affairs department to inquire about the specific procedures and materials required.

After submitting the application, the relevant department will review the application materials to confirm the identity of the family and the criteria for granting the pension.

Four, receive the pension

If the application is approved, the family will receive a notice of the pension. In accordance with the notification, the family can go to the designated place to receive the pension.
