After the pilot is successful, it will be promoted nationwide; (2) In areas that have not been reformed, the financial department will still review and redeem it, but the registration of shipments by production companies and the entry of sales outlets will be lifted.

(3) Regardless of whether reforms to simplify subsidy procedures are carried out, in areas where it is difficult to implement the "one-card" or "one-off" payment method due to incomplete banking networks, vast areas and sparsely populated areas, while ensuring the safety of funds, , the subsidy procedure can be innovated, and the sales outlet agent can review and advance the subsidy funds, and then settle with the financial department.
