FAQ

Q1 What is the "Special System for Registration via Administrative Organs, etc."? Also, is the account to which the pension money is transferred automatically registered?

A1

Based on Digital Agency's mission of "Human-friendly digitalisation: No one left behind.", this is a special program that allows those who wish to register to register with Mynaportal through simple procedures so that even those who are not good at procedures using public money receiving account or those who have difficulty in going to financial institutions can enjoy the benefits of the "speedy and reliable realization of benefits" that is the purpose of the public money receiving account Registration System.

For pensioners who are not registered in public money receiving account, the account registered as the recipient of the pension can be registered as public money receiving account after confirming the intention of the pensioner.

If you wish to register your public money receiving account, you do not need to take any additional procedures.
If you do not wish to register your public money receiving account, you can choose not to register your public money receiving account by submitting a Statement of Disagreement (return of the postcard) when confirming your intention.

Please check the following for the specific procedure.

  2. No additional procedures are necessary to express your consent to the registration of the public money receiving account. (Please do not return the Application for Non-Consent. You will be processed as a person who does not wish to register.)
  3. After the confirmation period (at least 45 days from the arrival of the confirmation of intention), the Japan Pension Service will provide Digital Agency with the information necessary for public money receiving account registration (account information and registrant information).
  4. Register the public money receiving account at Digital Agency.
  5. Pensioners who have requested to be registered by Digital Agency will be notified of the result.
  • If you do not wish to register (or do not consent)
    This is a schematic diagram of the public money receiving account Registration Disagreement Procedure. The first is that the Japan Pension Service will send you a document confirming your intention, and the second is that you will have to return the enclosed postcard in the event of disagreement. Details follow this image.
  1. The Japan Pension Service will send a confirmation of intention (simple registered mail) to the pensioner eligible for the program to register the account to which the pension is to be transferred as public money receiving account.
  2. In order to indicate your intention not to agree to the registration of the public money receiving account (intention of disapproval), please read the intention confirmation document carefully and return the enclosed non-consent application postcard.

In addition, even if you forget to return the postcard to express your disagreement and it is registered as a public money receiving account, you can change or delete the public money receiving account at Mynaportal or financial institutions.

Q2 What is the difference between "Registration via Administrative Agencies, etc." and "Special Scheme for Registration via Administrative Agencies, etc." under the public money receiving account Registration System?

A2

The "Registration via Administrative Agencies, etc." and the "Special Scheme for Registration via Administrative Agencies, etc." are the same in terms of public money receiving account registration, but the method of obtaining consent is different.

  • Registration via administrative agencies, etc. (Registration upon filing a final return for income tax (return for refund), request for correction, or request for a pension)
    Public money receiving account registration is carried out based on the express intention of consent from applicants. Without this intention, registration will not take place.
  • Special System for Registration via Administrative Organs
    If there is no expression of disapproval within the period for confirming the intention (* 2) after securing a sufficient period of time to confirm the intention (* 1) through simple registered mail, the intention is deemed to have been expressed implicitly, and the public money receiving account is registered.

* 1 If the simple registered mail for confirmation of intention is not delivered to the destination, it will not be registered.
* 2 If you indicate your disagreement (answer) on the return postcard enclosed with the simple registered mail, you will not be eligible for registration.

Q3 When will the "Special System for Registration via Administrative Organs, etc." start?

A3

Preparations are underway for the launch of the system, and the specific launch date has not yet been determined.
At the start of the program, we plan to widely publicize it in advance on the Digital Agency website, etc.

Q4 Why do people who do not wish to register a public money receiving account have to go through the procedure under the "Special Scheme for Registration via Administrative Organs, etc."?

A4

In order to benefit from the "speedy and reliable realization of benefits," which is the purpose of the public money receiving account Registry Program, this program enables those who wish to register as a public money receiving account to do so through simple procedures. The program is designed so that even those who are not comfortable with procedures using Mynaportal or those who have difficulty in visiting financial institutions for procedures can register.

For those who do not wish to register, additional procedures are required, and the system is designed to be troublesome, but we appreciate your understanding.

Q5 What should I do if I cannot receive the confirmation of intention document due to a long-term absence?

A5

The document to confirm your intention will be sent by simple registered mail. If you cannot receive it due to absence, it will be returned to the Japan Pension Service.
If it is returned to the Japan Pension Service, it will not be subject to public money receiving account registration because the person has not been notified (the intention of the person regarding public money receiving account registration has not been confirmed).

If you wish to register your public money receiving account, please follow the registration procedures at Mynaportal or financial institutions separately.

Q6: If I do not agree to the "Special Scheme for Registration via Administrative Organs, etc.", are any procedures necessary?

A6

A procedure is required. If you do not agree to the registration of your public money receiving account, please carefully check the document confirming your intention, which will be sent by simple registered mail from the Japan Pension Service, and reply to that effect with the enclosed non-agreement application postcard.
