Sorry.  This might be useful to me.  How long had you been out of the social welfare  system?  Months or years?   And if it was years they still allowed you rejoin for life?  

 

Or maybe you are saying you were in the system til retirement at 60 and then within the time period allowed applied for self pay. 

 

Thanks for your answer.  

 

In any case, to be clear to the original poster, employment after 60 won't get you back into the system. I checked carefully.   I would be very happy to find out I am wrong though. 

less than 2 months

was told the time window is 3 months

Well 9 years back I retired at 65, my admin. manager took me to the SS office at Din Daeng and I got a sizeable reimbursement.

 

Early next morning she called me to share she had learned that I can continue in the SS system by making ongoing personal monthly payments for the rest of my life. She asked me to be ready for her to pick me up early and be at the SS office at 8.30 am.

 

We did that, she asked for the documents to allow me to continue. Answer:  'No, cannot, has to be documented at the same time as the reimbursement, next day is too late'.

 

Over the years i've heard 4 or 5 quite different versions of this.

That's wrong. If you are applying as a parent - unlike applying as a spouse - there is no requirement to keep the funds in your account for 2 months.

are you sure?
