People concerned their pension account data may have been lost crowded consultation booths Saturday in Tokyo on the first weekend they were set up by the Social Insurance Agency.

A 58-year-old housewife who went to a booth near JR Shibuya Station just after 10 a.m. said she was able to confirm her data is intact.

The data fiasco "would not have been permissible with a private-sector company," she said, appearing relieved.
