Survivor's Pension Support

- When it comes to national pension, many people only think of the old-age pension they receive when they get older, but there are also people who subscribe to the national pension or who received the pension.
In case of death, a certain amount of survivor's pension is also paid to the surviving family.

- Survivor pensions give top priority to those whose livelihood was supported by the deceased.
(Paid in the following order: spouse, children, parents (including spouse's parents), grandchildren, and grandparents)

(1) Amount of survivors' pension payment
- Survivor pensions vary depending on the subscription period and amount received.
· In case of less than 10 years, 40% of basic pension amount + allowable pension amount
· In case of 10 years or more but less than 20 years, 50% of basic pension amount + allowable pension amount
· 60% of basic pension amount + allowable pension amount for 20 years or more

※ The amount of pension available is the amount of the livelihood maintained by the beneficiary at the time the beneficiary acquires the right to receive the pension.
It is a type of family allowance paid to spouses, children, and parents. 150,000 won per year is paid to spouses, and 150,000 won per year is paid to children and parents.
