Pension Claim Method

The procedure for receiving the Old-Age Basic Pension starts at age 65. At the individual's request, it can be claimed early from age 60, but the benefit amount will be reduced, and thereafter, it will not be possible to claim Disability Basic Pension or Widow's Pension. Additionally, it is also possible to defer the claim after age 66 to increase the benefit amount.
For individual pension benefit estimates and other inquiries, please consult the Pension Office or the nearest Pension Consultation Center.
