The Public Pensions and Social Security Commission confirmed that the Federal Pensions Act is full of many additional values ​​that refer to the insurance benefits enjoyed by women in the federal pension law, which appreciates their role in serving their family and community.

Hind al-Shuwaidi, director of the rights division, explained that a woman can buy (10) legal years to raise her pension rate because this period gives her an opportunity to increase her pension (20%) so that a man can buy (5) legal years in which he can pay his pension. (10%) can be increased.

Al-Shuwaidi pointed out that if a daughter, sister or mother is widowed or divorced, the law allows them to create additional shares and they have no other salary or pension. If at the date of death of the pensioner any of them is unable to earn after the death of the pensioner, this share may be created for the son or brother if they have no other salary or pension.

The general rule in the Federal Pensions Act is that the two pensions in power are not allowed to be combined with the pension and the salary received by the insurer from any other party in the state. To incorporate, but the law allows the widow the right to combine her pension with her husband’s pension or between the salary she receives from work and her share of the pension.

It also pointed out that the pension law is equal between men and women when the pension is distributed to the beneficiaries because the pension is not considered a legal inheritance and therefore it recognizes the right of the girl’s brother to receive an equal share.
