This document covers only the National Pension lump-sum refund (국민연금 반환일시금). Severance pay, unpaid wages, and unused annual leave allowance have separate routes through the Ministry of Employment and Labor (고용노동부) and the Labor Relations Commission (노동위원회), so check work/labor-disputes or a dedicated severance pay guide.
