The "temporary special benefits for pensioners," which the government and the ruling party are considering as a support measure for the elderly in the corona sickness, are causing ripples. According to several ruling party executives, a plan to distribute about 5,000 yen to about 26 million people has emerged. Due to the lack of balance with the working generation, criticism from young people and experts continues. The opposition also brought it into the parliamentary debate.


"Why are you only the elderly? You're aiming for an election, right?" At the House of Councilors Budget Committee on the 17th, Senator Renho of the Constitutional Democratic Party pointed out.


Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said, "We have prepared various policies in multiple layers under the influence of Corona, but I think it is such a debate as to whether there are any who have not responded." I would like to consider it as a government after seeing. "


Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito officials visited the Prime Minister's Office and requested the benefits on the 15th. In addition to the elderly, those who receive a disability or survivor's pension and who have received a "temporary special benefit" of 100,000 yen for low-income households exempt from residence tax are excluded.


The amount of pension received by the elderly will be 0.4% lower than it is now next year from April. The source of the pension is the insurance premiums paid by the current working generation. The wages of the working generation are falling due to the corona, and the pension amount is also linked. The full amount (monthly) of the basic pension received by all pensioners will decrease by 259 yen to 64,816 yen.

My Kokumin Nenkin is about 20000 yen ever 2 months. Life sucks when you get old here in this country.
Oh, the Tokyo Embassy called and said that the IRS taxes it, and now that tax comes directly out of my Social Security. Like it is called Benefits Planner: Retirement | Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) | SSA
Actually it took since Oct. 2019 that now they will deduct payments. The Embassy can't give tax consultation, but what she shared with me is that its coming out of my SS. How much, she doesn't know , the IRS calculates its.
Damn.
