Hundred percent (1 month) of the member’s Monthly Standard Salary

Dependent Condolence Benefit (for the death of a dependent)

Seventy percent (0.7 month) of the member’s Monthly Standard Salary

Note 1:
When the condolence amount is less than 270,000 yen, the balance shall be paid as Supplementary Condolence Benefit or Supplementary Dependent Condolence Benefit.
