Can survivors still enjoy survivor's allowance if they have social security?

Legal analysis: No, the subsidy standard for survivors' living difficulties is generally based on the principle of maintaining the living standards of local people, which conflicts with social security.

Legal basis: Interim Provisions on Subsidies for Living Difficulties of Survivors after the Death of Staff of State Organs and Institutions.

Article 1 After the death of a staff member of a state organ or institution, if the survivors have difficulties in living, the unit where the deceased worked before his death may grant regular or temporary subsidies in accordance with the principle of "more subsidies in case of great difficulties, less subsidies in case of minor difficulties, and no subsidies in case of difficulties".

Article 2 The standard of subsidies for living difficulties of survivors is generally based on the principle of maintaining the living standards of local people, and the specific standards are formulated by provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions (implemented by central state organs and institutions in their respective regions). For those who died in the protection and rescue of state-owned assets or in the struggle against the enemy, the subsidy standard for survivors' living difficulties may be appropriately raised.
