Section 2 Payment of Retirement Allowances, etc.
Article 10Retirement Allowances
When a covered employee retires, the Organization is to pay a retirement allowance to that person (or, where the retirement is due to death, to the bereaved family members); provided, however, that this does not apply where the number of months for which premiums have been paid for the covered employee (hereinafter referred to as the "number of months of paid premiums") is less than 12 months.
The amount of the retirement allowance is the amount specified in each of the following items according to the category of the number of months of paid premiums set out in that item.
退職金の額は、次の各号に掲げる掛金納付月数の区分に応じ、当該各号に定める額とする。
23 months or less: an amount specified by Cabinet Order in accordance with the monthly premium and the number of months of paid premiums, as an amount less than the total amount of premiums paid for the covered employee (in the case of retirement due to death, an amount specified by Cabinet Order in accordance with the monthly premium and the number of months of paid premiums, as an amount equivalent to the total amount of premiums paid for the covered employee);
24 months or more and 42 months or less: an amount specified by Cabinet Order in accordance with the monthly premium and the number of months of paid premiums, as an amount equivalent to the total amount of premiums paid for the covered employee;
43 months or more: the amount obtained by adding together the amounts specified in (a) and (b):
四十三月以上 次のイ及びロに定める額を合算して得た額
an amount specified by Cabinet Order in accordance with the monthly premium and the number of months of paid premiums, as an amount exceeding the total amount of premiums paid for the covered employee;
the total of the amounts obtained by multiplying the amount that would be obtained by applying the provision of (a) on the assumption that the covered employee's retirement took place in a calculation month (meaning a month for which, where the premium for that month has been paid, the number of months of paid premiums becomes 43 months or 43 months plus a whole-number multiple of 12 months; the same applies hereinafter in this item and in paragraph (4)) (referred to as the "hypothetical retirement allowance amount" in paragraph (4)) by the payment rate for the fiscal year (meaning the period from April 1 to March 31 of the following year; the same applies hereinafter) to which that calculation month belongs, in each case (where the amount has a fraction of less than one yen, it is rounded up to one yen).
The amounts specified by Cabinet Order referred to in item (i), item (ii) and item (iii), (a) of the preceding paragraph are to be determined on the basis of the total amount of the premiums paid and the investment income therefrom, taking into account the assumed interest rate, the estimated number of retirements of covered employees and the estimated number of cancellations of retirement allowance mutual aid contracts.
The payment rate under paragraph (2), item (iii), (b) is to be determined by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare, for each fiscal year, as provided by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, by the end of the fiscal year preceding that fiscal year, after hearing the opinion of the Labour Policy Council, on the basis of the rate obtained by dividing the amount calculated as the portion of the investment income of the fiscal year preceding that fiscal year that is to be applied to the payment of the amount prescribed in paragraph (2), item (iii), (b) by the total amount of the hypothetical retirement allowance amounts of covered employees who will have a calculation month in that fiscal year, and taking into account the estimated amount of investment income for that fiscal year and thereafter and other circumstances.
Where a covered employee has retired for a reason attributable to that employee and the mutual aid policyholder has made a request, and the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare finds it appropriate in accordance with the standards specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the Organization may pay a reduced retirement allowance, as provided by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

Where, when a covered employee has requested that part of the retirement allowance be paid by way of installment payment, the amount subject to installment payment prescribed in the following paragraph is less than the amount specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, or the amount obtained by deducting the amount subject to installment payment prescribed in that paragraph from the full amount of that retirement allowance is less than the amount specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
Where a covered employee intends to receive part of the retirement allowance by way of installment payment, the request under the preceding paragraph must be made by specifying the amount of the part of the retirement allowance that the covered employee intends to receive by way of installment payment (hereinafter referred to in this Article as the "amount subject to installment payment").

The amount of the retirement allowance for each payment month (referred to as the "retirement allowance installment" in the following Article) is the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the retirement allowance (the amount subject to installment payment, where part of the retirement allowance is paid by way of installment payment) by the rate specified by Cabinet Order in accordance with the installment payment period (referred to as the "installment payment rate" in paragraph (2) of the following Article).
