The Social Security Corporation has clarified that the eligibility conditions for receiving a permanent total or partial natural disability pension include: termination of the insured person's service for any reason; submission of a disability pension application within no more than six months from the date of service termination; having a minimum of 60 actual contributions, including at least 24 consecutive contributions; and the disability status being confirmed by a decision from the Corporation’s medical reference authority.

In a statement issued by its Media Center, the Corporation explained that the Social Security Law allows an insured employee in the private sector to apply to be examined by the Social Security’s designated medical authority while still employed, to determine whether their condition qualifies as a permanent total natural disability. This may be done only twice during their coverage under the Law, provided that the number of their contributions exceeds 60, including at least 24 consecutive contributions at the time of application. As for public sector employees covered by the Social Security Law, the Corporation’s medical authority is the competent entity responsible for recommending the termination of their services for the purposes of qualifying for a permanent total or partial natural disability pension.
