Definition
抚恤金 is a formal term for compensation paid to the family of someone who died or to a person who became disabled, usually due to a workplace accident, military service, or public duty. It is typically a one-time payment, not a regular pension — so it differs from 养老金 (retirement pension) or 退休金 (pension). You'll encounter this word in legal, insurance, and government contexts.
n.
compensation payment for death or disability (e.g., workplace injury, military service)
