Act Governing Retirement, Severance, and Bereavement Compensation for the Teaching and Other Staff Members of Public Schools Article 72

If a retired staff member receiving a monthly or partial monthly pension or a survivor receiving monthly bereavement compensation or survivor annuity resides in the Mainland Area long-term, without obtaining household registration in the Mainland Area or holding a Mainland Area passport, the disbursing agency shall, during the period of his or her residence in the Mainland Area, suspend the payment of the pension, bereavement compensation, or survivor annuity. The payment will subsequently be made up in accordance with regulations only after the staff member has personally duly applied to instead receive a lump-sum pension payment or has returned to reside in Taiwan.
