Korean Pension info SIMPLIFIED for Foreign Teachers

Are you finished with teaching in Korea and planning to collect your pension money?

If so, this article will be useful for you.

Since I have experience with teaching at a university in South Korea and have gone through the confusing and frustrating process of applying for and receiving Korean pension money, I’d like to share this helpful info with you.

First of all, did you know that there are two different pension organizations in Korea. Your pension will come from one of these two pension organizations depending on what kind of school you worked in:
National Pension Service or Korean Teachers Pension Fund

You might think that this process should be very streamlined and straight-forward since thousands of native English teachers work in Korea and have been retiring from teaching jobs for decades. However, the truth is that…

Many teachers leave Korea without knowing about or receiving their pension.
Teachers are promised a pension in their contract and then the company never pays into their pension.
Teachers do not know how to correctly apply for their pension to receive the full amount.

And there are other terrible issues…
For example, did you know that the English pension applications are filled with errors and incorrect translations, which often times have teachers checking the wrong box. This results in a reduced pension amount and sometimes negative marks on their work history records. I provide the info you need to avoid these mistakes.

After teaching in Korea for over 10 years, I’ve gathered information about the retirement and pension system of Korea. I’ve boiled it down to the most important points.

I’ve made step-by-step instructions. Additionally, I’ve found out a mostly unknown ways that foreign teachers and expats like you and I can receive more money back plus additional ways to claim other refunds.

This package of easy-to-read English information (with Korean translations) takes the guess work out of the process and I’m sure that it’s going to save you a good bit of hassle, a lot of time, and end up making you even more money than you’d expect.
