Significant Reduction in Pension Omissions... Ulsan City Recognized as an Excellent Institution in Basic Pension Project

Minimizing Recipient Omissions, Commendation from the Minister of Health and Welfare

Ulsan City was selected as an excellent institution in the Basic Pension Project for its efforts to reduce missed pension receipts.

On the 24th, Ulsan City announced that it was selected as an excellent institution in the “2023 Basic Pension Project Meritorious Institution Evaluation” hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and received a commendation from the Minister of Health and Welfare.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare annually selects and awards institutions that have made significant contributions based on the Basic Pension Project over the past year to commend their achievements and boost morale, especially for institutions contributing to the welfare and stability of the elderly.

The evaluation is conducted by combining the project performance of six items, including the basic pension receipt rate and application rate, recovery rate of fraudulent receipts, budget execution performance, and cooperation performance with the Ministry of Health and Welfare, targeting local governments nationwide.

As a result of the evaluation, among 20 local governments nationwide selected as excellent institutions, Ulsan City was also chosen for its high scores in all categories.

Ulsan City provided advance guidance on basic pension applications to seniors turning 65 to ensure that as many elderly people as possible could receive benefits.

Additionally, it actively administered measures such as discovering elderly people not receiving benefits due to unregistered residence and managing the history of those wishing to receive benefits, earning high praise for its proactive administration to eliminate blind spots in the basic pension system.

An official from Ulsan City said, “We will continue to actively identify eligible recipients so that many people can receive the basic pension, which is the foundation for life stability and welfare improvement, and do our best to help them enjoy a happy old age.”

The basic pension is a system that provides a certain amount of money to the bottom 70% of elderly people aged 65 or older based on recognized income standards to ensure old-age security and improve welfare.

As of the end of October this year, the number of basic pension recipients aged 65 or older in Ulsan City reached 113,895.
