Please tell me about the national pension insurance premium exemption system.

If you are unable to pay insurance premiums due to economic circumstances, unemployment, natural disasters, etc., please use the National Pension Insurance Premium Exemption System, which will exempt you from paying insurance premiums if you apply and are approved.

(1) Those whose income in the previous year of the applicant, spouse, and head of household is below a certain level. (2) Those who are receiving special disability benefits. (3) Those who can confirm that they have suffered unemployment, natural disasters, etc.

(1) Fully exempted (one half is included in the pension amount)
(2) Three-fourths exemption (one-fourth of the insurance premium is paid and five-eighths is included in the pension amount)
(3) Half amount exemption (half of insurance premium paid, three quarters included in pension amount)
(4) 1/4th exemption (3/4th insurance premium paid, 7/8th included in pension amount)

(1) From July to June of the following year (The examination results will be notified by the Japan Pension Service at a later date)
(2) The pension amount will be reduced according to the exemption category.
(3) Insurance premiums can be paid retroactively up to 10 years ago (however, if you pay late for the third year or earlier, a certain amount will be added to the premiums at that time).

Applications are required every year, but if you wish to receive a full exemption from the following year onwards, if your full exemption is approved, you will be able to continue receiving the examination from the following year onwards. However, those who have been approved for reasons such as unemployment or natural disasters will need to apply again the following year.
