Health Insurance Premium Settlement Possible Without Submitting Certificate of Termination

[Financial News] It is now possible to adjust and settle health insurance premiums without submitting a separate certificate of termination.
The National Health Insurance Corporation announced on the 16th that it will link and utilize real-time income data from the National Tax Service for income adjustment in accordance with the amendment of the National Health Insurance Act Enforcement Decree.
Real-time income data is simplified payment statement data collected monthly by the National Tax Service to support the expansion of employment insurance for vulnerable groups and to address welfare blind spots.
Previously, freelance business income earners such as insurance planners and delivery riders had to submit separate documents like a certificate of termination to the corporation to prove the cessation and reduction of income activities for health insurance premium income adjustment and settlement applications. This process has continuously raised issues due to difficulties in issuance caused by the closure or suspension of income payment places or relationships with resignation institutions.
In the future, if there is a history of reporting simplified payment statements for business income to the National Tax Service, the procedure for submitting a certificate of termination will be replaced, allowing income adjustment and settlement applications without supporting documents.
Seonghee Park, head of the Qualification and Contribution Department at the National Health Insurance Corporation, said, "We will continue to expand and discover services that can alleviate public inconvenience and enhance convenience," adding, "It will contribute not only to reducing administrative and economic costs but also to practicing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management by reducing the use of paper documents."
