The benefit system started this month for pensioners with low incomes. It turned out that there was a mistake such as the Japan Pension Service did not send application documents to about 2,700 people.
The “Pension Consumer Assistance Benefit System” started from this month, with a maximum of ¥ 5,000 per month paid to low-income pensioners using the increase in sales resulting from the increase in the consumption tax rate.
In order to receive benefits, it is necessary to apply directly, and the Japan Pension Service has been sending application documents to the target persons sequentially from the last month based on the data provided by each municipality.
However, according to the Japan Pension Service, there was an error in the data on income and households provided by 24 municipalities, and there was a mistake that originally did not send documents to 2697 people who are eligible for payment.
On the other hand, it means that documents were accidentally sent to 3076 people who are not eligible for payment. The Japan Pension Service has called for the procedures to be completed this month because it has sent the application documents to all the original target persons after the mistakes are identified.
