Death Benefit – What is it?
The death pension is a benefit provided for in the Federal Constitution in its article nº 201. This is an amount paid to dependents of deceased insured persons of the National Social Security Institute (INSS), whose purpose is to protect the taxpayer's family after his death. In this way, it works as if it were a replacement of the salary or benefit of the person who died.
Who has the right?
In order to be entitled to the benefit, the INSS does not require a grace period, that is, a minimum contribution time, but it is necessary that the deceased person was insured on the date of death. Regarding who receives the benefit, there is a division into classes that stipulates the order of dependents. Check it out below.
- Class 1 – Spouse, partner, non-emancipated children, minors under 21 years of age or legally declared invalids;
- Class 2 - The parents;
- Class 3 – Non-emancipated brother, under 21 years of age or who is legally declared invalid.
The economic dependence of people in class 1 is presumed, while that of the others must be proven. That is, those who are classified as class 1 dependents (among them, the disabled child) do not need to prove their economic dependence.
