Insurance Switch upon Employment (National to Social)
When you get a job and join a company's health insurance (social insurance), you need to complete the procedures to withdraw from National Health Insurance. If you forget this procedure, you will continue to pay double insurance premiums.
Where to apply: Ota City Hall, National Health Insurance Division (0276-47-1111).
Please submit a notification of withdrawal from National Health Insurance at the City Hall within 14 days of employment. Bring the 'Health Insurance Card' or 'Certificate of Qualification' issued by the company. Regarding the National Pension, when you get a job, the company is obligated to enroll you in the Employees' Pension, so you automatically switch to a Category 2 insured person (you generally do not need to do any procedures yourself).
