The Uehara family came to Palau
Royal Resort again on March 29, 2014. They have this photo with new Executive
Chef Daisuke Kunii. Roberto asked them to come back to Palau again in July,
before leaving for Norway for the 2014 World Chess Olympiad. The Uehara family
comes to Palau at least 4 times a year. They missed the New Year’s Eve
Countdown because PRR was fully booked at that time. (Photo by Roberto Hernandez- Taken by Edwin Acuyan)
EFFECTIVE OCT. 15, 2015
PALAU RETIREMENT AGE IS
62 YEARS
ON JUNE 10, 2014, Roberto Hernandez went to the Social Security
Administration office to check his INDIVIDUAL WAGE HISTORY With Taxes Paid.
He was informed that the retirement age will be 62 years
effective Oct. 15, 2015. HE WILL MISS IT BY 2 AND A HALF MONTHS!
He will be 60 years old on Jan. 02, 2016. He has to wait for
another 2 years and 2 months to get his pension in 2018.
The bold figures indicate that his former employer for 13 years,
Margarita Borja Dalton, didn't post Social Security payments from 1998-2003 (6
years).
Those 6 years of unpaid dues will really affect his future pension.
The Administrator is in a very important meeting at that time so he was not
able to talk to him.
Eight days later, he was able to talk to the Administrator, Mr.
John Markub, who also said that the non-payment of Margie will really
affect his pension and that he talked to her already about it and they agreed
that Margie will try her best to settle the unposted wages even by installment.
Thirty eight (38) total quarters must be posted to be eligible
for Social Security pension. Roberto got 56, not including the 23 that Margie
hadn't posted.
Roberto got 2 quarters from
Elena Sings, his first employer in Palau from Feb. 04-July 26, 1992. After
that, he worked for 13 years to Margarita Borja Dalton under Micronesian
Business Design dba Image Restaurant and got 22 quarters from 1992-1997.
He’s got 2 quarters from Teppan
Dragon Japanese Restaurant in 2006 and another 3 quarters at Donburi Dragon in
2006-2007.
And finally, he’s got 28 quarters
from JAL HOTELS CO., LTD-PALAU (Palau Royal Resort) from June 01, 2007-Present.
The 9 members of Palau Chess
Team to 2014 World Chess Olympiad in Tromso, Norway had a meeting at Bethlehem
Park on June 16 at 5:30 pm.
They agreed to apply by group in
acquiring Schengen visa because it’s more convenient. They will leave on July
15 and will go to the Royal Norwegian Embassy on July 17 for interview and
finger printing. They will buy also travel insurance along the perimeter of the
embassy. It must cover at least 30,000 euros and the cost is about $150.00.
Cyril’s wife and 2 kids had gone
already for vacation in June 13 while Gladys left on June 17, a day after the
meeting. The renting of hotel/rooms was cancelled and all members will stay in
Manila for at least a couple of days.
Cyril will stay with Roberto for
2 days before they proceed to their respective provinces. Bernard is having
second thoughts and might apply individually. He and Roberto got their Verification
of Deposit Notice, one of the requirements in getting Schengen visa on
Thursday, June 19.
