Recently, many inquiries have been received regarding the "national subsidy" program, with people urgently asking: "Are the national subsidies gone? Why can't I find the entry point on the platform?" Some have even shared screenshots in group chats, saying that voucher applications keep failing, wondering if the policy has ended prematurely.

The truth was revealed at the end of July - the national subsidies never stopped. Due to rapid fund consumption in the earlier phase and irregularities such as voucher abuse in some regions, policy departments made rhythm adjustments, causing temporary suspension of entry points in some provinces and cities.

On July 28, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance officially announced that the third batch of central fiscal subsidy funds totaling 69 billion yuan has been fully allocated. Starting from August 1, both online and offline application channels nationwide have fully resumed, with implementation time uniformly extended to 24:00 on December 31, 2025. In other words, the current 130 days represent the final golden period for securing "real money" benefits this year.

**Why Was There a "Gap Period"?**

The reasons are quite practical:

First, money was spent too quickly. Of the annual 300 billion yuan budget, 70% was used in the first five months. Some regions' quotas truly disappeared in seconds - Chongqing's home appliance subsidies were exhausted in 15 days, and Shandong even saw 5 million yuan quotas grabbed empty in one minute.

Second, to prevent fraud. Regulatory departments had to add dual verification of "ID card + old device SN code" to block batch voucher abuse and fake recycling receipts.

Third, price stabilization needs. During the 618 shopping festival combined with subsidies, some first-tier energy efficiency air conditioners dropped directly from over 8,000 yuan to over 4,000 yuan, forcing merchants to temporarily remove subsidy entry points for price control.

**Third Batch National Subsidies Fully Launched**

This year's subsidies are distributed in four batches: - First batch (January-May): 162 billion yuan exhausted - Second batch (July): 138 billion yuan released - Third batch (August-December): 69 billion yuan currently being distributed - Fourth batch: Expected additional 69 billion yuan in October to ensure year-end supply

Officials have clarified that this round of policy implementation will not end early, extend, or allow retroactive claims - what you grab is what you earn, miss it and it's truly gone.

**Expanded Home Appliance Subsidy Coverage**

This year's home appliance national subsidies have significantly "increased coverage," from first-tier energy efficiency air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters, water purifiers, robot vacuums, televisions, to air fryers, rice cookers, sterilizers, induction cookers, coffee machines, microwaves, and even lighting products.

First-tier energy efficiency products enjoy 20% of selling price subsidy, maximum 2,000 yuan; second-tier energy efficiency receives 15% subsidy, maximum 1,500 yuan.

**Mobile Phone and Digital Product Subsidies Also Attractive**

Don't think national subsidies only cover home appliances. Mobile phones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches and other digital products priced under 6,000 yuan can receive 15% subsidy, maximum 500 yuan.

**Automobile Trade-in Subsidies Remain Strong**

For car replacement, national subsidy strength is equally considerable. Scrapping old cars for new energy vehicles can receive up to 20,000 yuan subsidy, switching to fuel vehicles gets 15,000 yuan subsidy; transferring old cars and buying new energy vehicles also provides direct 15,000 yuan subsidy.

**August 2025 National Subsidy Distribution Status Overview (Latest Updates)**

**Currently Normal Distribution and Gradually Recovering Regions:**

Shanghai: Opens subsidy application channels daily at 7:00 AM, covering home appliances and digital products with stable quotas.

Xinjiang: First half subsidy funds completely exhausted, second half 2025 will not restart.

**Latest Public Welfare Benefits Simultaneously Implemented**

Worth noting, besides national subsidies, two major public welfare policies have recently been officially announced:

Starting from the 2025 autumn semester, tuition fees for the final year of public kindergartens nationwide will be completely free; simultaneously, families with 0-3 year old infants can receive childcare subsidies of 3,600 yuan per child per year for three consecutive years, totaling 10,800 yuan.

**Final Reminders**

Although national subsidies are said to end by year-end, popular category quotas often run out early. Last year's air conditioning and refrigerator subsidies were exhausted by October, so don't wait until December to remember.

All subsidies must be applied through official channels - there are no legitimate "agency" or "service fee" processes.

From suspension to restart, national subsidies have delivered benefits to every consumer with a solid 69 billion yuan in funding. In the next 130 days, how much you can grab represents real money entering your pocket.
