立法院三讀通過修正案,調整老農津貼金額及排富標準。
立法院院會今日下午三讀通過「老年農民福利津貼暫行條例」修正案,將老農津貼從現行的每月8110元提高至1萬5000元,最快明年上路。國民黨立委張嘉郡表示,農民辛苦一輩子,照顧農民的晚年生活是政府的責任,也不能只是淪為口號,此次修法是保障農民的基本退休生活。
「只有善待老農,年輕人才願意接棒。」張嘉郡表示,近年物價一路漲,老農津貼卻沒跟上,這次修法是還給農民的生活債,對政府來說,這筆錢也不是花掉,而是種下去,「今天種在老農身上,明天收成的是整個台灣。」
張嘉郡表示,農民長年在第一線辛苦耕作、看天吃飯,還要承擔農產價格波動及生產成本上漲等風險,為台灣糧食安全與農業發展付出一輩子的心力,晚年又要面對物價持續上漲,現行每月8110元的老農津貼早已入不敷出,比衛福部公告的最低生活費還低,在立法院內跨黨派立委都有共識,確實有檢討調整的必要。
張嘉郡表示,這次修法將老農津貼提高至每月1萬5000元,就是讓老農不用跟孩子伸手,看病不用再算錢,這是最起碼的溫飽,也是最起碼的尊嚴,國民黨、民眾黨與農民站在一起,捍衛農民的尊嚴絕不打折。
這次修法除了調整發放金額,也調整因通膨而不合時宜的排富標準,部分農民因持有祖傳農地或自住房屋而影響領取資格,這次修法將農業所得之外的收入標準從現行的50萬元調高至60萬元,房產與土地價值標準也從現行的500萬元提高至1025萬元。
張嘉郡表示,政府在推動農業升級、智慧農業及產業轉型的同時,不能忽略曾經為台灣農業打下基礎的老一輩農民,政府照顧農民責無旁貸,也不能只是口號,未來應持續完善農民退休保障、農業保險及農業災害補助制度,讓年長農民能夠安心享有退休生活,讓年輕世代也能看見投入農業的未來與希望。
