Fortunately, the Executive Yuan recently announced that the citizens 'annuity program would begin in 2000. Citizens over 65 years old will be able to claim, on average, NT $ 2,000 per month. Immediately after this announcement, Taipei County decided that it would halt its elderly subsidies beginning in 2001.
