About leveling of special collection of medical care premium for the latter-stage elderly

　The method of paying insurance premiums from pension is called "special collection." Special collection is divided into "temporary collection" and "main collection" depending on the month of payment.

　There is a possibility that there will be a large difference between the provisional collection amount (insurance amount paid in April, June, and August) and the main collection amount (insurance amount paid in October, December, and February of the following year) For those who have determined that there is a high possibility, adjusting the amount of insurance premiums in June and August so that the amount of insurance paid throughout the year is as even as possible is called "leveling". Even if the premium amount in June / August rises due to the leveling, the premium amount in October / December / February of the following year will decrease, so the final annual premium is the same. In this collection, please pay the amount obtained by subtracting the amount paid by provisional collection from the annual insurance premium.

　Since this special collection is equalized before the amount of insurance premiums this year is determined, it is estimated that the annual insurance premiums for the previous year and this year are about the same. . Therefore, if the annual premium for this year increases or decreases significantly compared to the annual premium for the previous fiscal year, the difference between the provisional collection amount and the actual collection amount may increase. If the annual premium for this year decreases significantly compared to the annual premium for the previous fiscal year, the amount paid by provisional collection will be larger than the annual premium, and the premium may be overpaid. There is. Overpaid insurance premiums will be refunded or appropriated. The ward office will send you a letter of advice on overpaid insurance premiums at a later date, so please check it.

　In addition, special collection may be canceled (stopped) due to a significant decrease in the annual premium for this fiscal year compared to the annual premium for the previous fiscal year. Once the special collection is canceled (stopped), the special collection will resume at least in October of the following year. In order to carry out special collection, it is necessary for the municipalities to request special collection from the pension insurer, but if the special collection is canceled (stopped) once, the request time for resumption is once a year, The time for special collection is stipulated by law as October. We apologize for any inconvenience, but please be careful not to forget to pay because it will be collected normally until special collection resumes (July / August / September of the following year).

　Payment of insurance premiums by special collection continues, and insured persons who meet the following conditions are subject to leveling.

　The calculation method of insurance premiums after leveling is as follows.
