Mycat Inc. has released "Pension Checker" (https://nenkin.xyz), a free web tool that provides a comprehensive diagnosis of eligibility for pensions and benefits that cannot be received without application.
In addition to the basic pension and employees' pension, Japan's public pension system includes multiple schemes that provide additional benefits if certain conditions are met. However, many of these adopt an "application-based principle," meaning they are not paid out unless the individual applies, leading to cases where people do not exercise their right to receive benefits simply because they are unaware of the system.
The seven schemes covered by Pension Checker are as follows:
Additional Pension (Kakyū Nenkin): An additional payment for those with 20 years or more of Employees' Pension insurance coverage, who have a spouse under 65 or a child under 18 (up to approximately 390,000 yen annually).
Transfer Addition (Furikae Kasan): A system where an amount is added to the individual's Old-age Basic Pension after a spouse, who was previously eligible for the Additional Pension, turns 65. An estimated 100,000 claims are reportedly missed annually.
Pension Recipient Support Benefit (Nenkin Seikatsusha Shien Kyūfukin): A monthly payment of up to 5,310 yen for pension recipients whose income is below a certain standard.
Survivors' Pension (Izoku Nenkin): A pension receivable when a spouse passes away.
Special Disability Allowance (Tokubetsu Shōgaisha Teate): A monthly payment of approximately 28,000 yen for severely disabled individuals living at home.
Disability Deduction (Shōgaisha Kōjo): Elderly individuals who have received long-term care certification may be eligible for a disability deduction.
High-Cost Long-Term Care Service Fee (Kōgaku Kaigo Service Hi): Reimbursement when the out-of-pocket long-term care insurance expenses exceed the monthly limit.
By answering simple questions, you can check your eligibility for all seven schemes in approximately 2 minutes. No membership registration or personal information input is required, and it is completely free to use.
