Benefits included in the Agreement
General Information

Benefits for temporary disability due to common illnesses, and non-work-related injuries and maternity.

Benefits for disability, retirement, death and survival.

For Ukraine:
They apply to the following Social Security benefits for the people:

-
Benefits for disability, retirement and survival
-
Payments for work-related injury and occupational disease.
-
Death grant
-
Family benefit for children.
-
Social benefits.
For these benefits, you must be aware that:
-
To get the contributive benefits included in the Agreement, periods of insurance fulfilled in Spain and Ukraine can be added together.
-
Contributive economic benefits can be collected regardless of whether the interested party is resident or is currently in Spain or Ukraine
-
Each country pays its own benefits directly to the recipient.
-
Those who meet the requirements of the legislation of both countries to be entitled to a contributive pension can collect it from both.
Temporary disability, Maternity, Birth or Childcare
For entitlement to these benefits, the periods of insurance or work in both countries are added together, if necessary, and will be paid solely by the country in which the worker is insured when the causal event occurs.
Disability, Retirement and Survival
Each country will examine each application for benefits separately in the following way:
-
It will check that the interested party is entitled to the benefit, taking into account only its own periods of insurance, not those of the other country.
-
Also, it will calculate the benefit by adding together its own periods of insurance and those of the other country. In this case, the benefit will not be for the whole amount but a proportion of the periods of insurance in the country granting it and the sum of the periods for Spain and Ukraine.
-
The benefits calculated as shown in the previous sections will be compared and each country will recognise and pay the benefit that favours the interested party.
Note:
A specific resolution exists for individuals of Spanish origin who were minors when, as a result of the Spanish Civil War, they moved to the ex-USSR, and for the teachers or carers who went with them, that considers them to have one year's contributions to Spanish Social Security.
Work-related Injuries and Occupational Disease
The benefit will be determined by the country whose legislation the worker is subject to on the date when the accident occurred or the disease was contracted.
