Insurance Information No. (328)
According to the Social Security Law, if the daughter of an insured or retired person was married at the time of his death, she is not entitled to any share or portion of his retirement pension. In this case, the pension is distributed among his other eligible heirs, regardless of whether this daughter is among them. Even if she later separates from her husband or is widowed (i.e., the separation or widowhood occurred after the death of her father), she remains ineligible for any share of her father's retirement pension.
If the daughter was single, widowed, or divorced on the date of her father's death, she is entitled to a share of her father's retirement pension if she was not a paid worker. If she marries after becoming entitled to her share of the pension, this share is stopped. If she is widowed or divorced, her share is returned to her, as the entitlement and conditions are considered on the date of the death of the insured or retiree.
As for my opinion on the matter, I believe that the law in this case did not do justice to the daughter of the deceased insured or pensioner if she was married at the time of his death. It would have been more appropriate to take into consideration the fact that she became a widow or separated from her husband after her father's death, and this might happen after a relatively short period. So how can she be deprived of her share of her father's salary? Especially since there are cases of dispute and discord between spouses that are considered by the courts and often end in divorce and separation of the spouses. Is it just that the daughter of the deceased pensioner be deprived of any share of her father's salary in such cases..?!
I believe this requires review and amendment of the law to do justice to the daughter who was married on the date of her father's death, and to include her in a suspended portion of her father's salary, which is due to her in cases of divorce or widowhood.
