Reserve Service

The National Insurance Institute pays a reserve service benefit to any person who is called up for reserve duty under the Security Service Law, as well as to anyone called up for training under the Emergency Labor Service Law. The National Insurance Institute also provides grants to working youths up to the age of 18 who are absent from their jobs due to participation in pre-military education.
The National Insurance Institute notifies every insured person and employer regarding the amount of the benefit paid.

Please note

As of May 2025, the Ministry of Finance has changed the legislation on calculation of reserve service benefit:
