BEIJING, Dec. 14 -- China's Ministry of Veterans Affairs (MVA) recently released a trial regulation on preferential treatment certificates for veterans and other eligible recipients, as officially shown.
北京12月14日电 据退役军人事务部消息，退役军人事务部近日正式印发《退役军人、其他优抚对象优待证管理办法(试行)》。
Based on the Veterans Support Law of the People's Republic of China (referred to as Veterans Support Law)and relevant national rules, the regulation aims to stipulate the distribution, use and management of preferential treatment certificates for veterans and other eligible recipients, including family members of martyrs and deceased military personnel, in a bid to guarantee the rights and interests of certificate holders, and improve preferential service management.
该办法依据《中华人民共和国退役军人保障法》和国家有关规定，目的是规范退役军人和烈士遗属、因公牺牲军人遗属、病故军人遗属等其他优抚对象优待证(简称优待证)的制发、使用和服务管理，维护持证人权益，提高优待服务管理水平。
According to the regulation, there are two types of preferential treatment certificates, which are issued to eligible veterans and other recipients respectively.
依据该办法，优待证分为两种，分别面向符合条件的退役军人和烈士遗属、因公牺牲军人遗属、病故军人遗属等其他优抚对象发放。
With debit card as the carrier, the certificate is jointly manufactured and issued nationwide by the MVA and its cooperative bank in a unified manner and with a uniform pattern, each containing information of the card-holder and the issuing unit.
优待证由退役军人事务部联合合作银行共同制作，以银行借记卡为载体，全国统一制发，统一式样，印有优待证种类名称、持证人姓名、持证人性别、持证人相片、发放单位等信息。
The holders can enjoy preferential treatment services in public transportation, tourism, etc., in accordance with the Veterans Support Law and other relevant national and local regulations. Besides, the Veterans Affairs Departments at all levels will make efforts to realize the payment of pensions and subsidies, and consolation money via recipients' personal bank accounts linked to their preferential treatment certificates.
持证人可凭优待证按照《中华人民共和国退役军人保障法》和国家、地方有关规定，享受公共交通、文化、旅游等方面的优待服务。此外，各级退役军人事务部门将逐步实现通过优待证关联的个人银行账户发放抚恤补助金、慰问金等。
In January 2020, a total of 20 departments including the MVA jointly issued a document, proposing to establish a system to realize the unified production and distribution of preferential treatment certificates for veterans and other preferential treatment recipients. The state-issued preferential treatment certificate system has been incorporated into the Veterans Support Law, which has come into effect since January 1, 2021.
据了解，2020年1月，退役军人事务部等20部门联合发布文件，提出建立优待证制度，逐步为退役军人和“三属”统一制作颁发优待证。2021年1月1日起施行的《中华人民共和国退役军人保障法》，将国家发放优待证写入法律。
