Introduction
In response to the "Social Insurance Law of the People's Republic of China," the "Regulations on Social Insurance Administration," and other relevant laws, regulations, and policy guidelines, and to further adapt to the new situation.
This document has been revised and improved to meet the needs of social insurance administration.
This revision focuses on data-driven, process-driven, and fully electronic operation, mainly improving the social insurance business handling process.
By optimizing business processes, refining operational procedures, and strengthening the connection between links, we can further improve efficiency and service quality, and effectively protect the rights and interests of insured units.

At the same time, in light of the practical requirements for the security of social insurance funds, emphasis was placed on supplementing internal controls and auditing procedures within business processes.
