After the implementation of the temporary living assistance fund policy came to an end in August 2008, China will further offer a three-month follow-up living assistance to people in need in Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi, three provinces severely hit by the earthquake disaster.
The funding focuses on earthquake victims including orphans, the elderly and the disabled, family members of the deceased (including missing persons), the seriously injured and disabled, relocated individuals, and people facing living difficulties due to the collapse of or serious damage to their homes.
The average assistance amount for each victim will be 200 yuan per month; 2.5 billion yuan will be allocated from the central government budget to Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi. By the end of 2008, a total of 3.4925 million people in need in these three provinces had received assistance.
