About this checker
How this preliminary check works
Eight general questions provide a preliminary self-check. The result separates public pension conditions, PenPos service fit, and application readiness; it is not a final eligibility determination.
What the check considers
Your answers may indicate that pension records, address status, the filing-deadline starting point, social-security agreement periods, or a previous lump-sum claim require individual review. For Question 2, learn how National Pension and Employees’ Pension are treated differently. For the approximate coverage range in Question 3, understand the difference between 6, 60 and 120 months. You can also see what can be prepared before leaving Japan or learn how the filing-deadline starting point is checked.
What this check does not decide
The result does not guarantee eligibility, payment, or that PenPos will accept a case. The Japan Pension Service makes the final decision, and PenPos reviews service acceptance separately.
Privacy
Answers stay in browser memory and are not saved or sent to a server. The checker does not collect your name, email address, pension number, or other identifying details, and individual answers are not sent to GA4.
