The State Council has established these two subsidies. The first is the Living Subsidy for Disabled Persons in Need; it is intended for disabled individuals in dibao households, though local authorities may expand eligibility to low-income disabled persons and others in hardship if resources allow. The second is the Care Subsidy for Severely Disabled Persons, designated for those with a disability rating of level 1 or 2 who need ongoing care. Both subsidies may be received together.

When applying, you must present a second-generation disability certificate. If you are unable to apply in person, a family member may do so on your behalf.
