As a rule, pension benefits are paid from age 65 to persons who satisfy certain conditions, such as having paid the national pension contributions for 25 years or more, including the period of time you have earned exemptions.

You may receive the disability basic pension if you became disabled before turning age 20 or if you were a subscriber of national pension system at the time of becoming disabled. Recipients of the welfare disability pension and those who became disabled before turning age 20 will have some limits to provision according to their income and other conditions.

The survivor’s basic pensions are provided to provide living support to bereaved family members, either wives with children under 18, or children under 18 (until the end of the financial year in which he or she turned 18, or 20 in the case of disabled children) whose livelihood were dependent on the lost family member, if this member was a subscriber of the national pension system or was qualified to receive the old-age basic pension (basically, for period of 25 years) at the time of death. A condition is that the deceased person must have paid the contributions for more than two-thirds of his/her contribution period for the survivor’s basic pension to be granted.
