Pension supplement discrepancy for retired civil servants remains unresolved despite bureaucratic efforts.

In recent days, retired civil servants have begun to receive the long-overdue year-end pension supplement, sparking widespread concern and discussion. This development is related to the issue of pension supplement arrears for civil servants and public educators, and the Presidential Administration's response is to show respect for the Ministry of Examination's decision to issue certification for civil servants' pension supplement arrears, in accordance with the new law.

According to the current understanding, the Ministry of Examination issued certification in July, sending pension supplement arrears for civil servants to the accounts of retired civil servants. This move marks the gradual resolution of the pension supplement arrears issue for civil servants. However, the same issue for educators has yet to be processed in sync, causing discontent and concern among many retired teachers.

The Presidential Administration's response indicates that the Administration respects the jurisdiction of the Examination Yuan and the responsibilities of relevant agencies, which means that the Administration will continue to respect the Ministry of Examination's certification for civil servants and leave the pension supplement arrears issue for educators to be handled by relevant agencies. This response also suggests that the Administration will continue to handle pension supplement arrears issues with the principle of respecting the responsibilities of relevant agencies.

However, this development has also raised concerns among retired civil servants about pension supplement arrears. Many retired teachers have stated that they have been waiting for the pension supplement arrears for educators to be issued, but have yet to receive any response. This development has also made many retired civil servants feel dissatisfied and disappointed with the Administration's handling of pension supplement arrears issues.

In this context, resolving the pension supplement arrears issue has become even more important. Many retired civil servants' lives are closely tied to pension supplement arrears, and if this issue cannot be resolved promptly, it will have a significant impact on the lives of retired civil servants. Therefore, the Presidential Administration, Examination Yuan, and relevant agencies must work together to resolve the pension supplement arrears issue as soon as possible, allowing retired civil servants to live with peace of mind.
