Q：
|
After beginning contributions to the farmer pension saving, may an individual continue making contributions if they withdraw from the farmer health insurance program?
|
|
A：
|
No. Once an individual withdraws from the farmer health insurance program, they no longer meet the eligibility requirements for making contributions. Contributions to the farmer pension savings will therefore be discontinued accordingly.
|
|
Q：
|
As farmers do not have employers, aside from making contributions themselves, will the Bureau of Labor Insurance also contribute to the farmer pension savings on their behalf?
|
|
A：
|
Yes. After a farmer makes contributions in accordance with the regulations, the Bureau of Labor Insurance will contribute an equivalent amount on a monthly basis.
