The insurer is entitled to verify the pension payment requests made by the insured person or his or her surviving family and to suspend payment during the verification period. Once requests are verified and approved, payment during the suspension period shall be compensated, and regular payments shall resume.Recipients not qualified to receive payments or when they die, himself or herself or the heir at law shall present related documents and notify the insurer within 30 days of the happening of the legal facts. Payments shall be terminated the next month after the legal facts are known.When the pension payment receiver dies and the payable pension payment is not yet wired into the receiver’s account, the heir at law is entitled to present the registration of death and household certificate transcript for the applicant and the household certificate transcript for the heir at law to apply for the receiving of payment. When there are more than 2 people for the heir at law, they’ll have to present the joint letter of attorney and an affidavit entrusting one of them to apply for the receiving of the payment.When overpayment results from the receiver’s failure or the failure of heir at law to notify the insurer, according to Paragraphs 1 and 2, the insurer shall send written notices to the receiver of the overpayment requesting repayment within 30 days. The insurer is also entitled to deduct the overpayment from the account used to receive the pension payments.
