Although there are a number of related regulations and policies about the elder economic security in Taiwan, but few combine social gerontology discussion, we still focus on familism, ignoring the close relationship between social policy and social facts. Therefore, this research applies content analysis and qualitative interviews as its methodology. The former is about the administrative appeal decisions of Ministry of the Interior about living allowance for mid or low-income senior citizens. The latter is about the interviews of three types of groups, first, the elderly, such as the general elderly, the near-poor elderly, and the mid or low-income elderly, second, the head of districts and last, the other related workers. With these materials, this research try to understand the composition of the pension resources in real life, the actual situation of elderly falling into poverty, and the issues about living support for the elderly of national transfer.
