[ad_1] Material photo In order to prevent the national pension from being abused as a means of retirement for the rich, serious debates are expected about limiting the payment period to 10 years. On the afternoon of the 25th, the Ministry of Health and Welfare informed the 3rd National Pension Review Committee (Chairman Kang-rip Kim, 1st Vice Minister of Welfare) that the bill would be processed by the National Assembly within this year. Earlier, Kim Sang-hee, a member of the Democratic Party, proposed an amendment to the National Pensions Law with the same content in July, and is ahead of the Health and Welfare Committee of the National Assembly. The follow-up payment system is a system that allows pensioners who requested an exception to pay an additional payment for the period in which they did not pay the insurance premiums, and it is recognized as the subscription period. By making additional payments, the minimum payment period required to receive the pension can be met for 10 years, and the estimated amount of the pension can be increased by extending the subscription period. It is a necessary system for women with career interruptions, housewives, young people with irregular income, unemployed workers and freelancers who have closed their business. However, as some wealthy people are approaching 60, which is the upper limit of membership, they have been using it for financial technology by paying a lot of extra payments and significantly increasing the amount of pension income, which It creates problems of loyal payers and equity. Kim Byeong-deok, Principal Investigator at the Korea Financial Research Institute, said in the 'National Pension Plan for Future Payment System and System Improvement Plan' published in 2018: `` If you look at the distribution of applicants of future payments by region, high-income people such as Seoul 24.6%, Gyeonggi 24% and Busan 7.5% are concentrated. In the case of Seoul, the proportion of Gangnam, Songpa and Gangseo is the highest among the 25 districts, it is inferred that some wealthy people use the postpaid system as a means of withdrawing financial resources. He noted that reverse discrimination can occur for those who have sincerely joined the national pension system. Lead researcher Kim said this problem arises because "the future payment system is too generous compared to the original purpose of removing the pension blind spot." In other countries, it is generally accepted that applications are accepted within 10 years after the occurrence of the reason for future payment. "For its part, the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare announced that through the review of the implementing decree , will expand the number of days and day laborers with monthly earnings of 2.15 million won or more until the goal of joining the workplace, although the number of days and hours of work do not meet the affiliation criteria. Voluntary continuous subscribers who are classified into three categories: workplace, region and other types are unified. The blind spot for joining a workplace has been gradually narrowing. In January, the scope of joining the workplace for daily workers expanded from workplaces with fewer than 10 employees to all workplaces, and as of July, when temporary workers working fewer 60 hours per month they work in two or more workplaces, their total income is reflected. Since last August, all construction workers who worked on the 8th or more of the month were applied as subscribers. Consequently, the number of daily workers entering the workplace increased by approximately 25.4% in a year from 1.34 million last year to 1.68 million this year (provisional). Kim Gang-rip, First Vice Minister of the Ministry of Welfare, said: "The Ministry of Welfare will continue to narrow the blind spot so that the national pension can faithfully fulfill the role of security of retirement income."
