From January to June this year, 35,276 people were eligible, but it was counted that they have not yet applied for a pension.



If you calculate all the uncharged amounts, it is about 276.2 billion won.



Among the unclaimed cases, it is known that the location is unclear, or in many cases, they have expressed their intention to claim a pension in the future.



When looking at the status of unclaimed by type of benefit, death-related benefits such as survivors' pension and lump sum death were the highest at 18.87 billion won (19,942 people), followed by old-age pension KRW 176.3 billion, and lump sum refund 1,000. The order was 38.58 billion won.

The survivors' pension and the lump sum death benefit are received by the remaining survivors in the event of a member's or recipient's death, and the lump sum refund is a benefit received by adding interest to the premiums paid since the minimum subscription period was not met for 10 years even though they reached the age of 60.

The average value including this year (87.55% by June) was 96.69%.



However, 76,025 people have not yet visited the pension, so over 490 billion won remains in the'sleeping pension' status.
