-
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
For entitlement to these benefits, the periods of insurance in both countries are added together, if necessary.
Disability, Old Age and Survival
Each country will examine each application for a pension separately in the following way:
-
If the interested party is entitled to the pension without the need to add in the periods of insurance in the other country, the corresponding pension will be granted taking into account only its own periods of insurance.
-
If the interested party is not entitled to the pension in the terms of the previous paragraph, the periods of accredited insurance from the other country will be added in. The pension 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 Venezuela.
Work-related Injuries and Occupational Diseases
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.
