Last Updated May 28, 2024
When you have trouble living, early consultation is the key to the solution.

About social security
Every month, social security calculates the amount required to ensure a minimum living standard for the household, and pays the shortfall in household income.

◆FAQs
Q: When I apply for social security, do my family and relatives know?
A: Before making an inquiry to your relatives about the possibility of assistance, we will always ask you if you can make an inquiry. Please be assured that we will not refer to dependents ignoring circumstances such as DV and abuse.
Q: Is it true that if you work, protection costs will be reduced?
A: Since social security provides a shortfall in household income, employment income should be given priority to social security for living expenses. There is a deduction according to the amount of salary.
Q: Don't you spend money on hobbies and entertainment?
A: You can use it within the range of living expenses. I'd like to have a plan.
Q: Can't I apply if my money and savings are gone?
A: Depending on the amount of money, there may be a decision to use protection, but consultation and application are possible regardless of the amount. It's a common misconception that you won't be protected if you have a little savings. Please contact us as soon as possible.
