Full introduction of `` total remuneration discount '' in long-term care insurance Affects premiums of employees of large companies April 5:25 on April 1
Regarding the nursing care premium paid by the active generation, from the new fiscal year, the `` total remuneration rate '' that demands more burden on those with higher income will be fully introduced, and it is expected that the premium of office workers who work mainly at large companies will increase .
The cost of long-term care insurance is supported by the user's own expenses, as well as insurance premiums and public expenses paid by all persons aged 40 and over. Of these, premiums paid by employees aged 40 to 64 will gradually begin three years ago and will be fully introduced from the new fiscal year.
This is a system that demands more burden on people with higher incomes such as salaries and bonuses, and is expected to increase insurance premiums for employees of large companies, which have many people with high incomes.
The nursing care insurance system has been in operation for 20 years, but due to the aging of the population, the premiums paid by the active generation have increased about 2.5 times compared to the initial level, and discussions on increasing the burden of maintaining the system have been made. It is expected to continue in the future.
