Survivor Benefits ? ? ?

T.J. · Jun 18, 2013

If a Mexican citizen dies, are there any survivor benefits for minor children and/or the surviving spouse? I am thinking in terms of Social Security benefits in the US?

If so, what agency administers these benefits?

Thanks

Survivor pension: The insured was a pensioner or had at least 150 weeks of contributions at the time of death. The death must not be the result of an occupational injury.
Eligible survivors are a widow(er) or cohabiting partner with children; a widow(er) without children who was married to the deceased for at least six months, if the deceased was younger than age 55 at the date of marriage; at least 12 months if the deceased was aged 55 or older at the date of marriage or if the deceased was a pensioner. Other eligible survivors are a cohabiting partner without children who lived with the deceased for at least five years; children up to age 16 (age 25 if a student; no limit if with a disability); and parents if there are no other eligible survivors. All eligible survivors must have been dependent on the deceased.
Benefits may be payable abroad; if leaving Mexico permanently, the pensioner may request a lump sum of two years of pension.

You're welcome. I actually enjoy looking up stuff like that. Sounds crazy but I find stuff like this very interesting.

When I was on the BOD of our Timeshare, I'd research all aspects of what was required by law to be provided to the employees. It was usually a big surprise to the Members as to what the employer was required by law to provide in Mexico.
