Article 34
After a retirement application has been approved, the payment authority shall be promptly notified to verify the details and issue a check for a lump sum retirement payment or the first monthly retirement pension payment and then mail the check, along with the retirement payment calculation sheet and a receipt, to the educational institution where the person was formerly employed to forward these to the retired staff member. When the person signs to verify their receipt of the check, the educational institution shall at the same time complete the procedure of signing and stamping the retirement payment receipt and then immediately return these to the payment authority.
If a retiree receives a monthly retirement pension (solely or as well as a lump sum retirement payment), apart from their first monthly pension payment, their monthly retirement pension payment shall be issued regularly on the first day of each month. However, the set payment dates in place for monthly retirement pensions before the amendment to this article takes effect shall continue to be dealt with in accordance with the original provisions.
The operation procedure for releasing the monthly retirement pension payments referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be prescribed by each payment authority.
If an adjustment to the salaries of teaching and other staff occurs after the monthly retirement pension payments have been issued, any resultant difference shall be made up for retroactively when the next monthly retirement pension payments are issued.

Article 41
Monthly bereavement compensation payments, as monthly retirement pension payments are, shall be issued starting from the next set date after the death of the retired staff member. If the survivors of a deceased retired staff member do not apply for the consolation payment in accordance with the provisions of Article 39 and as a result, an excess monthly retirement pension payment is received for the monthly period following the one in which the person died, the payment authority shall be notified by the educational institution where the deceased person was formerly employed to verify the situation and recoup the excess monthly retirement pension payment made from the bereavement compensation payable to the survivors.
