Workers are obliged to pay 9% of their income to the national pension, of which 4.5% is paid by themselves and the other half by the employer. Still, 4.5% is not a small percentage, so it can be a burden, and in the case of local subscribers, the burden is inevitably greater because they have to pay 9% alone.

For this reason, many people are wondering if it is possible to cancel or withdraw from the National Pension Service, and there are also many people who are wondering if the premium paid can be refunded again.

3. Conditions for Refund of National Pension Cancellation Method
More details can be found below.

Even though I do not work as a freelancer, I am automatically enrolled in the National Pension as a local insured because I am earning income. There were times when I received a mail saying that if I do not pay, it will be compulsory.

In general, it is almost impossible to cancel the national pension, but there are exceptions, so please check the conditions for canceling the national pension below.

1) If the payment period is less than 10 years

If you do not complete the minimum payment period of 10 years by age 60, you can receive a lump-sum payment at the age of 60. The amount includes principal and interest.

2) In case of loss of nationality or moving abroad

When you lose your citizenship or move abroad, the National Pension will be canceled and you can get a refund or a lump sum payment. Cancellation method is applied by the person who is the subject.

3) When survivors’ pension does not apply

If the insured person dies but is not included in the survivors’ pension, the national pension will be cancelled, and the beneficiary can receive it as a lump sum. You will receive an amount up to interest.

4. What if I do not pay the National Pension on purpose?

When I received the notification of joining the National Pension Local Subscriber by mail, it contained the content that if I did not pay the National Pension intentionally, it would be compulsorily collected. There may be cases where it is unavoidable to pay non-payment due to personal or financial reasons, but it is better to pay the unpaid amount at a later date. In addition, unpaid premiums are subject to late fees.

In severe cases, it can lead to confiscation of bankbooks and property. It’s rare, but if you don’t pay it on purpose, it will be foreclosed, so please pay it on time.

Above, we have learned about the cancellation method and refund conditions of the National Pension, one of the four major insurances. It may be a burdensome amount at the time of payment, but it may be helpful in old age, so I would like to think about paying it without thinking too negatively about paying it. If you can’t avoid it, you should enjoy it, but it’s a burden because it’s money-related.
