Pension Regular Mail: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to receive your annual report on pension benefits and how to use it to verify your contribution history in Japan.
This scheme provides you with a yearly statement regarding your pension status sent directly to your home.
Who it's for
This service is available to all residents between the ages of 20 and 60.
What you get
Every year, you will receive a report through the post. This document contains a summary of the pension benefits you have already earned and a projection of what your future payments might look like.
What it costs you
There is no cost to receive this report; it is sent to you for free via regular mail once a year.
The catch to know
Many people treat these notices as junk mail and ignore them. However, this document is the primary way for you to verify that your contribution history is accurate and that all your payments have been recorded correctly.
How to apply
- Ensure your current residential address is registered with the relevant authorities.
- Check your mail once a year for the annual statement.
- Review the document to confirm your pension details are correct.
- Visit the official portal if you find any errors in your records.
