Mr. Satthararam Thambusadee, Social Security Commissioner, highlighted the status of the public hearing process for the new pension formula (CARE), which has been under consideration since 2020 and has been delayed for a long time. This pension formula will instantly enhance pensions for over 570,000 insured people, and over 3 million retirees will have an average 7% increase in their pensions over the next ten years.This represents a dedication to public fairness. Over 900 people attended the most recent public hearing, which took place on October 11-12, 2015, up from 10 per hour before. This has raised issues regarding whether the process was an IO or a bot attack on the website. Because these operations are the responsibility of the Progressive Social Security, attempts are being made to prevent them from being successful. Mr. Satthamram added that failure to provide an honest public hearing is the greatest form of injustice in holding up the retirement benefits of those who work hard and want to live a good life.

Ms. Rakchanok stated that she could guarantee that those insured who are about to receive pensions will benefit, particularly those insured under Section 39. This is not about sharing the benefits that people insured under Section 33 should get. Why should there be any barriers when there are already beneficiaries? Furthermore, there have been ongoing attacks on the People Party. This time, the Progressive Social Security has attacked the work of many of our opponents. However, there is no reason to endanger the lives of insured people, who earn less than 2,000 baht per day in pensions. They should receive 4,000 to 5,000 baht. While the added income won’t make their lives lavish, it will help them breathe a bit easier. However, I want to encourage the public to attend the public hearing on October 17th, for the benefit of insured individuals and people in the future. She added “I'd like to tell you that no one who currently receives a pension will have their pension decreased. If it is true , feel free to step on our faces.”

Finally, Mr. Sahasawat added that, while many people are concerned about receiving a decreased pension, he assured them that no one now receiving a pension would receive a lower amount. He also stated that the impacted individuals under Sections 33 and 39 of the CARE formula will give life insurance in the event of an emergency.This will ensure that individuals receive a suitable pension. Citizens will receive fair pensions,those who contribute more will get more and those who contribute less will get less. These formulas are designed as equitable as possible for all citizens.
