Working elderly policy to introduce a system to increase welfare pension payment Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare December 3, 6:29

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare intends to introduce a new system to increase the amount of payment for people aged 65 to 70 who continue to pay insurance premiums while receiving an employee's pension to promote the employment of the elderly So we are coordinating with the ruling party.

As a general rule, when an employee's pension joins a salaried worker, when he reaches 65 years old, the annual amount to be received is determined according to the subscription period and the amount of insurance premiums paid. If you continue to pay the fee, it will be reflected in the amount paid once you retire or when you reach the age of 70.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has revised the annual amount of people working from 65 to 70 years old to boost the employment of the elderly, and increased the amount of payment for the next year according to the premium paid. It is a policy to introduce a mechanism.

According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's estimate, if you work for one year with a monthly income of 200,000 yen and paying insurance premiums of 18,300 yen per month, the amount paid in the following year will increase by about 1100 yen per month.

On the other hand, an additional expenditure of approximately 80 billion yen per year is required, which will have a slight negative impact on future pension levels.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will coordinate with the ruling party and want to include it in the bill related to pension system reform that is scheduled to be submitted to the ordinary Diet next year.
