The 15th is "pension payment day". We asked people who receive pensions, "Is your pension enough to cover your living expenses?" ■Pension amount in old age How much will you receive from the national pension and employee pension? Caster Ogasawara Wataru: In principle, pension payment days are the 15th of even-numbered months. The amount of the 82-year-old woman who agreed to the interview is about 120,000 yen (2 months). When we showed her bankbook, the balance was 6,334,032 yen. "My husband is still healthy and working," she said. The rent for the metropolitan housing is about 20,000 yen, so she has a lot of disposable money. When we interviewed her, we found that the amount of pension received varies from person to person. There are two types of pension systems: the "national pension" to which all citizens are enrolled, and the "employee pension" to which company employees or public servants pay. These are called public pensions. In addition, some companies also offer "corporate pensions." So how much can you receive? We asked financial planner Nanako Tsukagoshi. [In the case of National Pension] <Payment period from age 20 to 60 / Receipt begins at age 65> ・Pension amount: 68,000 yen/month (full amount) *This will change depending on the 2024 pension amount and inflation, etc. [In the case of Employees' Pension] <Payment period from age 20 to 60 / Average annual income over 40 years: 5 million yen / Receipt begins at age 65> ・Employees' Pension: Approximately 91,000 yen/month + National Pension: 68,000 yen/month ・Pension amount: 159,000 yen/month (average) *This will change depending on the 2024 pension amount and inflation, etc. ■What happens to your pension if you get divorced? What happens to your pension if you get divorced. [Husband: Company employee (Employee's pension insurance) / Wife: Full-time housewife (supported by husband) Married for 10 years] <Wife's...> ・Records of Employee's pension insurance for the 10 years of marriage will remain ・Receives national pension and about half of the Employee's pension insurance for the 10 years of marriage ・Applies to the pension office within 2 years of divorce <Husband's...> ・Cannot refuse payments to ex-wife *Applies to marriage periods after April 2008 Anchorman Horan Chiaki: Does this mean that if the wife doesn't apply for it, she won't be able to receive half of the Employee's pension insurance? Anchorman Ogasawara: It says within 2 years of divorce, so it may not make much sense when you're young, and you may be shocked when the time to receive your pension draws near. It seems that whether you knew about it or not can make a big difference in the amount you receive. ▼TBS NEWS DIG Official Website https://newsdig.tbs.co.jp/ ▼Please subscribe to our channel! / @tbsnewsdig ▼Information provided by "TBS Insiders" https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/tbs-ins... ▼Video provided by "TBS Scoop Post" https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/toukou.... #News #news #TBS #newsdig
