• 10. If I am receiving temporary disability payment by delegated payment from my company and my leave 365 days, how does the exceptional situation caused by COVID-19 affect me?

  • The INSS will not issue discharge resolutions after the 365-day duration of temporary disability until the state of alarm ends.

  • The issue of temporary disability extension resolutions is also temporarily suspended so the company will continue to pay the delegated benefit until the INSS decides on the incapacitating status of this worker, once the state of alarm ends.

  • Therefore, the worker need not complete any formalities to continue receiving temporary disability benefit as the company must continue to make delegated payments as to date until the 365-day duration ends. Neither must the worker request confirmation reports as the Public Health Services is not obliged to issue them after 365 days.
