The National Social Insurance Authority has made available the details and controls for disbursing the severance grant to those entitled to it, explaining that it is disbursed in cases of cutting off the pension of a son or brother other than death or other than obtaining another pension with a higher priority.
She added that the severance grant is provided at the value of the pension due for a full year, and is disbursed only once throughout the entitlement period, and the beneficiary has no right to request it again.
The authority confirmed that the grant is not disbursed in cases of the end of the disability except after receiving an official decision from the medical committee stating that the reason for the disability of the eligible person has disappeared, noting that the disbursement of the grant is linked to the completion of the approved legal documents and procedures.
The insurance company explained that the grant is permanently forfeited if an application for its disbursement is not submitted within five years from the due date, which requires the beneficiaries to follow up and apply within the specified dates so that they do not lose their right.
Conditions for eligibility for a severance grant
The conditions set by the Authority for eligibility for the grant were as follows:
1. The applicant must be eligible for the pension at the time the pension is cut off.
2. The beneficiary must not have previously received a severance grant.
3. The reason for cutting off the pension should not be death or obtaining another higher priority pension.
