Comment on Getting a National Pension Payment Rebate When Leaving Japan as a “Lump-sum Withdrawal Payment” by ToastedBanana

I called last month, they just apologized and said I would have to wait a few more months. Apparently all the paperwork is in order so I can’t imagine what is taking so long. About 10 out of 15 of my friends who left at the same time and applied for pension at the same time received theirs the 7th or 8th month after applying, but I’m still waiting like a few of my other friends. Maybe the prefecture got something wrong and it’s a big mess… who knows. Like I said, it took 5 months for them to simply send me a letter double checking if I wanted it, so I guess they are just taking their time.

@Toasted Banana

I was a JET from 2003-2006 but stayed in Japan until 2012, and so just applied for the pension refund back in early December.

I received the money in March.

I don’t think the weak yen should affect the pension (although it sucks that I didn’t get as much back in Aussie dollars as I might’ve a few years ago!).

If your Japanese is good enough I guess you could try and call the pension office in Tokyo or something?

I was a 5 year JET and returned in August 2012. I applied for my pension as soon as I returned and I still have not received it. It is now almost May 2013. I had received a letter in January 2013 asking if I still wanted the refund (I am not joking). A lot of my friends have also not received their refunds. At this point I’m beginning to wonder if they are waiting for the market to drop. If they had sent the refund in November or December 2012 we are talking a significant amount more money. The exchange rate was about 80 yen to the dollar then and now it is 100 yen to the dollar. I’ll let you do the math, but with a 3 year pension refund that is a hell of a lot more money. Someone suggest to me that it wouldn’t make a difference to them because they are send a set amount of yen, but I’m not so sure it’s that simple. It’s just suspicious to me because out of the 5 years I was on JET everyone I ever talk to about getting a refund said they got theirs 6 months at the latest. Anyway, is it just a fluke with me and my friends or are other people having trouble this year with a long wait for a refund?

Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

Comment on Prison in Japan: Part 1 “The Taxi Ride” by diet solution program recipes

I tend not to write a lot of responses, but i did a few searching
and wound up here Japan: Stippy � Prison in Japan: Part 1 �The Taxi Ride�.
And I actually do have 2 questions for you if it’s allright. Could it be just me or does it look like some of these responses appear as if they are left by brain dead people? And, if you are writing at additional online sites, I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of all of your communal sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
