Chapter 560: A New Home

I read the name and went to the tent to go through the formalities!"

After the naturalization ceremony, a registry official read the list that the immigrant had become a U.S. citizen, but had not yet become a resident of Stinton and needed a citizenship card.

"Suki Chris!"

"Nanali Britannia!"

"Galina Goncharenko!"

"Holly Scarlett!"

Hearing her name, Holly took Gavin's little hand and walked towards one of the tents, there was a long desk in the tent, five officials from the household registration office sat behind the desk, five chairs were placed in front of the desk, four of which were already occupied, and Holly led Garvin to the one where no one was.

"You may be seated!"

"Thank you!"

Holly nodded and sat down, hugging Garvin in her lap.

"What's your name?" asked the official from the Household Registration Office.

"Holly Scarlett!" Holly replied.

After finding Holly's file number from the list, the official of the household registration office got up and took out Holly's file bag from the briefcase not far away, took out a citizen ID card from it, and handed it to Holly.

"This is your citizen card, with it you are a citizen of Staten, you can buy a house and a car in Staten, and your children can also go to school in Staten, please keep it properly and carry it with you, because the police may check at any time, if you don't bring it to the police, you will be fined $20, and you need to come to the household registration office to reapply for it if you lose it, a $20 handling fee!"

"Okay!"

Holly nodded.

"Uncle, and mine?"

Jiawen saw that his mother had a citizen card, but he didn't, so he opened his mouth and asked.

"When you're 14 years old, you'll have it!" the official from the household registration office smiled slightly.

"Oh, well, I'll try to grow to 14 as soon as possible. Gavin nodded.

"Okay, you can go to the Social Security Bureau next door and pick up your housing!"

The Household Registration Management Office is only responsible for the household registration files, and the Social Security Bureau is responsible for the division of houses.

"Thank you!"

Holly nodded, and led Garvin towards the tent next door!

"Please show your citizen card!"

Holly handed over the citizen card she had just received to the Social Security Administration officer.

The official of the Social Security Bureau got the citizen card, swiped it lightly on the card machine, and Holly's file appeared on the computer screen, although Staunton had just been established, but in order to effectively manage the citizens, John asked all government departments to cooperate to establish a sound resident information system, entry and exit system, temporary residence system, as long as the card was swiped, name, age, fingerprints, home address, family members, work unit, phone number, license plate, social security number, how long to move to Staunton, all will come out. Including in the future, as long as you go to the hospital or see a dentist, your DNA and blood type will be recorded.

"The house you are assigned is at No. 55 in District A1! This is your key, and you are assigned to work in the greening department, mainly planting urban plants, and report to the greening office at 8 o'clock tomorrow! The salary is 10 US dollars per hour, and the salary is paid on the 1st of each month, of course, you need to deduct social security, 6% of the salary for endowment insurance, 2% for medical insurance, 1% for unemployment insurance, 1% for maternity insurance, 1% for work-related injury insurance, and a housing fund of 1,000 US dollars!

Of course, this is what you need to pay, and the employer will also help you pay a part of it, they will pay 15% for pension insurance, 8% for medical insurance, 2% for unemployment insurance, 2% for maternity insurance, 1% for work-related injury insurance, and the housing fund is not necessarily, some good companies will help you pay, and some will not!"

The Social Security Administration official glanced at the computer screen, then looked up and explained to Holly in detail about the work and welfare policies.

But Holly heard that something was not good, seven minus eight deductions, up to more than $1,000 a month, this money out of living expenses, as well as Jiawen's education expenses, there is not much left, and there is no money left.

"What is this housing fund, and why do you need to deduct so much every month?" Holly asked, the largest of all the deductions was the housing fund, which deducted half of her income every month.

"The housing fund is equivalent to the government to help you save money to buy a house, if you save it yourself, you need to include it in personal income to pay taxes, the government helps you save, you can pay less taxes, and when you want to buy a house and pay a down payment, you can take out the money to buy a house. This is also the government to help you pay a part of the tax.

I know you must be worried about not having enough money and not having a deposit. Don't worry, many companies will build factories in Staten next year, and you can find a factory with a better salary, and the salary they offer will definitely be better than ours.

As for now, don't worry, although 10 dollars per hour, only 80 dollars a day, but as long as you are willing to endure hardship, four hours a day, you can get an extra $60 a day, overtime hours are 15 dollars an hour, so that there are more than 4,000 dollars a month, deducting the social security and housing funds, you can get at least more than 2,000 dollars, which is enough for you and your children to live, and you can save a little. If you are frugal and save $1,000 a month, it will be 12,000 yuan a year, $60,000 in 5 years, plus the $60,000 saved by the government for you, it will be 120,000 yuan, which will be enough for you to pay a down payment on a house after five years. ”

After listening to the explanation of the Social Security Bureau official, Holly is not entangled in the housing fund, anyway, she has to save money, hand over the money to the state for deposit, she can also pay a few hundred dollars a year, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, not to mention that a few hundred dollars is no longer mosquito meat for her, it should be wasp meat.

"Do you have any questions?" asked the Social Security Administration officer after seeing that Holly understood what he was saying.

"No more!"

Holly shook her head, she already knew what she should know.

"Okay, I'll have someone take you to your new home!" said the Social Security Bureau official after seeing that Holly was fine, looking at the Borderless Foundation volunteer on the side. "Please, send them to No. 55, A1 Zone!"

"No problem!" The Borderless Foundation volunteers smiled at Holly and Gavin, and then walked out of the tent with the mother and son, got into an electric car in the parking lot, and drove towards the town.

After the car entered the town, pink buildings appeared one by one in the eyes of several people, and Jiawen looked at these buildings and clapped his little hands excitedly. "Mom, you see these houses are so beautiful, they are all pink, Auntie, is our new home also pink?" asked the volunteer in front of him, stretching out his little head.

"Yes, your new home is also pink, do you like it?" The volunteer smiled slightly, she also likes the houses here, but unfortunately she can't live in them, these houses are built for new immigrants, she doesn't even have a Staunton hukou now, let alone a house, but she has already applied for a temporary residence permit, as long as she has served Staunton for public welfare for one year, she can get Staunton's household registration and live here.

Since the media reported on the development of Staten, Staten has now become the most popular city to move to in the United States, but now it is difficult to get a residence in Staten, you must have a job in Staten, and pay a year's tax to apply for a household registration, but Staten does not have a factory now, so no one can get a household registration, but it can be obtained through public service. This is a special policy set up by Staunton to thank volunteers for their dedication to the city.
