1. Subsidy duration can be accumulated: Eligible premium payment months during 2025 and 2026 can be combined, with a maximum cumulative subsidy of 12 months per person.

2. Interrupted payments do not affect eligibility: Social insurance contributions are calculated on a cumulative basis using the actual months of payment at the enterprise, even if payments are not continuous.

3. Subsidy can still be claimed after leaving a job: Eligible payment months accumulated during employment can still be claimed normally after departure.

4. No contract duration requirement: This policy does not mandate a labor contract of one year or longer.
