Are you eligible to claim labor pension benefits based on the old system?

(FWA 2026/07/14)

In Taiwan labor retirement is divided into “voluntary retirement” and “mandatory retirement”

A worker can apply for voluntary retirement if one of the following conditions are met:

•Worked a minimum of 15 years and is 55 years of age or older

•Worked a minimum of 25 years

•Worked a minimum of 10 years and is 60 years of age or older

Workers who are eligible to apply for voluntary retirement can file a request with their employer, and the employer is required to pay retirement benefits in accordance with the law.

An employer can ask a worker to retire in the following situations:

•The worker reaches 65 years of age

•The worker is unable to perform their job to an adequate level due to physical or mental disability

If an employer seeks to enforce mandatory retirement in accordance with the law, he/she is required to pay retirement benefits

If you have any questions about the old labor pension system, call the 1955 Hotline for assistance
