If the insurer reviews and approves the conditions for collection by the insured person or beneficiary under the previous paragraph, the pension shall be issued on a monthly basis from the month of application until the month during which the issuance should end.
If the beneficiary of survivors’ pension fails to file an application in the month when the conditions for collection are satisfied, the insurer shall make retrospective payment for the benefit that may be collected during 5 years preceding the date of application, except the portion that is already collected by other beneficiaries.

When an insured person or beneficiary seeks pension, the insurer may make verification and may withhold benefit issuance during the verification period. If the verification shows that the conditions for the benefit are satisfied, benefits due during the verification period shall be issued and issuance shall continue in accordance with the regulations.
If the person collecting pension does not meet the conditions for the benefit or is deceased, such person or the successor shall submit relevant documents and information and give notice to the insurer within 30 days from the date of occurrence of the event.
