The Recipient of Pension Benefits Passes Away

In case of the death of the recipient of pension benefits, please inform the Pension Fund Association of that fact promptly. The Pension Fund Association will send the "Notification of Death" form.

Attention
Please note that a delay in the submission of this notification could lead to the overpayment of pension benefits and may require refunds later.

Pension benefits are paid out until the month of the death of the recipient. In the case of there being remaining pension benefits to be paid out, the spouse, child(ren), the father and/or mother, grandchild(ren), grandfather and/or grandmother, and brother(s) and/or sister(s) who lived with the deceased recipient when the recipient passed away, in this order, can claim pension benefits. Also, when the recipient of additional basic pensions, additional subrogated pensions, transitional additional basic pensions and/or transitional additional subrogated pensions dies during the guaranteed period (the period until the recipient reaches around the age of 80 for portable corporate pensions), lump-sum death benefits are paid out. Lump-sum death benefits can be claimed by the spouse, child(ren), the father and/or mother, grandchild(ren), grandfather and/or grandmother, and brother(s) and/or sister(s) as well as by other relatives who lived with the deceased recipient when the recipient passed away.

Please note that lump-sum death benefits do not apply to the deceased recipient who did not receive portable corporate pensions, additional basic pensions, additional subrogated pensions, transitional additional basic pensions or transitional additional subrogated pensions, or to the recipient who received either of the above pensions but died after the lapse of the guaranteed period.
