When did the transitional pension begin?

Transitional pension starts from 1997.

Transitional pension refers to those who retired before the establishment of China's social security system, and it is a transitional security measure provided by the government to make up for the lack of old-age security. Specifically, the transitional pension has been issued since 1997, which has a history of more than 20 years. From 65438 to 0997, the State Council promulgated the Interim Provisions on Transitional Work Placement, which clearly stipulated that eligible retirees could receive transitional pensions. Since then, the state has successively issued a number of policy documents, gradually improving and expanding the payment targets and standards of transitional pensions. Up to now, eligible transitional pension benefits have included retired workers, retired soldiers and unemployed people.
