The General Pensions Authority said that the umbrella of social insurance coverage extends to the family of the insured person or the pensioner upon his death, as if he was alive, which embodies the principle of solidarity that characterizes the social insurance system in the country, and which derives its legislative reference from the text of Article 14 ) Of the constitution, which affirms that "equality and social justice, the provision of security and tranquility, and equal opportunities for all citizens are the pillars of society, mutual support and compassion, and a firm bond between them."

For its part, the Director of the Authority’s Benefits Unit, Hend Al-Suwaidi, explained that “the pension system seeks to consolidate the culture of solidarity, by expanding the circle of insurance coverage, so that the umbrella of coverage extends to all groups that were dependent on the insured or the pensioner during his life, and on the one hand. Others urge the insured to reach the period eligible for retirement pension, and continue to work for as long as possible to increase his pension rate upon retirement, which will positively affect his future and the family's future upon retirement or after his death, God forbid.

Al-Suwaidi indicated that “the recipient of the retirement pension is everyone who is entitled to a share in the retirement pension due to the death of the insured or the pensioner, provided that he fulfills the conditions of entitlement, including, for example, that he is dependent on the insured or the pensioner for his life.” That «includes among the categories of beneficiaries the widow of the pensioner or the insured, and the sons of both males and females, and brothers and sisters, parents, sons and daughters of the son and the husband may also be included in the entitlement.

She pointed out that "the first thing that should be done upon the death of the insured or the pensioner is updating the beneficiaries of their data, so that the pension can be disbursed as soon as possible, and it is not disbursed until after making sure that the conditions of entitlement apply to every beneficiary."

The pension is not a legitimate inheritance

The Director of the Benefits Unit at the General Pensions Authority, Hind Al-Suwaidi, stated that “the law does not differentiate when the pension is distributed among the beneficiaries, whether the beneficiary has acquired the nationality of the state or not, so the retirement pension in its general sense is not a legitimate inheritance. Whatever their nationality, as long as the conditions of entitlement are met, and the residency of the beneficiaries outside the state does not prevent them from enjoying the disbursement of their pension share if the conditions of entitlement are met.
