Workers under CLT regime lose the right to Pension for Death?

Current legislation allows a dependent to work with a formal contract and receive the benefit amount at the same time. Thus, if all prerequisites are in accordance with the request, the INSS death pension will continue to be paid normally to the deceased insured person's family member, without opposition.

In what situations does a dependent lose the right to benefit?

However, there are some cases where the insured person's family members may lose the right to receive the benefit. Check out what they are:

• If the insured, who was reported missing, reappears 

In situations where the court declared a person dead after he disappeared, but he was suddenly found or returned home, the benefit will be automatically suspended.

• When there is an accumulation of two pensions 

As a rule, social security only grants a benefit to the dependent family member. By way of explanation, if a woman becomes a widow for the second time, she does not accumulate the pension of the two deceased partners. Therefore, the widow will receive the highest amount pension.

• After the child of the deceased insured person turns 21 

As soon as the child of the taxpayer who died reaches 21 years of age, the Death Pension benefit will be suspended. However, if he has any proven deficiency before the body, the allowance will continue to be paid normally due to this exclusivity.
