EXECUTIVE YUAN APPROVES PENSION REFORM DRAFT|年改案政院版 公教18%優存第7年歸零

The Executive Yuan approved its draft pension reform bill on the 30th. The 18% preferential interest rate for civil servants and teachers will be phased out over 6 years, reaching zero at the start of the seventh year. The income replacement ratio will be lowered immediately to 75% then gradually to 60%. Pension payments will be calculated based on the average salary of the beneficiary's last 15 years in the work force, and a "pension floor" of NT$32,160 per month will apply. The newest calculations show that implementation of the Executive Yuan bill will delay the bankruptcy of the civil servants and teachers pension fund to 2049. The Executive Yuan has approved its version of a pension reform bill. The 18% preferential savings interest rate for civil servants and teachers will be phased out over 6 years; the income replacement ratio will be lowered immediately to 75% and gradually to 60%; pension payments will be calculated based on the average annual salary of the beneficiary's last 15 years in the workforce; and a pension floor of NT$32,160 will apply. ==LIN WAN-I Dep. Convener, Pension Reform committee== The terms for teachers was based on the pension reform committee proposal, lowering the rate from 75% to 60%. We were told that the DPP legislative caucus supports the pension reform committee proposal. The bill could be placed on the legislative agenda for committee as soon as next week if it is sent to the Legislative Yuan by Friday. The DPP caucus held a press conference saying that it will complete its own version by the 31st. However, they said that the income replacement ratio and pension payment calculation numbers will be consistent with the Executive Yuan version. ==LEE CHUN-YI DPP Legislator== Let me just say, our version won't be exactly the same as the pension reform committees, or exactly the same as the Examination Yuan version. The New Power Party has also published its own version. Their version will phase out the 18% interest rate in 3 years; the income replacement ratio will decrease from 60% to 50% over 10 years for top-level officials, and 80% to 70% for lower-level beneficiaries. The income floor will be adjustable and equal to the median national disposable income. ==HUANG KUO-CHANG NPP Legislator== True fairness is very important to us. So the longer the beneficiary has worked, the higher their income replacement ratio will be. With various versions of draft bills emerging, the battleground for pension reform is moving to the Legislative Yuan. Public worker groups say that they will not accept retroactive changes to their pension plans. ==WU SI-HUAI MCFAP Spokesperson== This kind of Cultural Revolution measure will only lead to even more protests, and at higher levels. As for labor pensions, pension contribution rates will increase 0.5% annually from 9.5% now to an upper limit of 12%. Another review of contribution rates will then be conducted if it is found that the will go bankrupt within 20 years. The contribution rate increases will start next year.
