According to the provisions of the Social Insurance Law, retirees are indeed eligible to receive the nationality of other countries. Article 16 stipulates that individuals who participate in the basic old-age insurance will reach the statutory retirement age, pay accumulated contributions for 15 years, and receive the basic pension on a monthly basis. In other words, as long as you meet the requirements of paying social security at work, you will be eligible for a pension later. In addition, according to the Regulations on Retirees Approved to Settle Abroad issued by the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office 1985, it is also clear that they can receive retirement benefits after taking part in a foreign nationality.
Although there is legal support at present, these laws are also advancing with the times, and it is still unknown whether they will change their minds when revised in the future. But from the point of common sense, in fact, you should not be eligible for a pension after you have joined another country's nationality. Think about it. If a person abandons China nationality and joins another nationality, according to the rules, he should lose all the rights and interests of our residents. If the account has been cancelled, should his social security account be cancelled? Does his bank account need to stop reporting to SAFE? Retirees have become citizens of other countries. How can they enjoy social security benefits at home?
But now in detail management, due to the communication barriers between various links, the information has not been fully opened. In this case, some people falsely use other countries' nationality without revoking our nationality, which constitutes dual nationality in essence. Even if some people cancel our nationality, they only cancel their household registration in the public security organs and do not continue to disappear in other organs. For example, banks should stop canceling bank accounts, real estate departments should stop changing their views on the nature of homeowners, social security departments should cancel social security accounts, and medical insurance departments should cancel medical insurance accounts.
It is precisely because of this that retirees can still receive benefits in China after acquiring the nationality of other countries, which is actually wrong. As I said before, although workers have to pay the pension every month when they go to work, the calculation and annual increase of the pension after retirement are actually national welfare. I wonder if this kind of welfare is only for domestic residents and not for foreign residents? Similarly, people who participate in foreign nationality enjoy the pension and social security benefits of other countries abroad. Isn't this equivalent to a person enjoying the benefits of both countries? at present
Of course, the personal account in the pension account is partial, and the personal account in the medical insurance account is also partial. You should be able to withdraw it after closing the account. This part belongs to the whole person according to the law, but the part distributed by the whole society should no longer be enjoyed.
In the future, as the information barriers of various departments in China are broken and the rules are implemented by various departments, I believe that this phenomenon of stepping on two boats with one foot may change.
In addition, China nationality is the most difficult nationality to apply for in the world. I have retired and lived in China for most of my life. Why do they go abroad to suffer like that when they are old? The moon outside is very round, and I believe it is even more round for the old people to live abroad.
