Law No. 5510: Marriage and Funeral Allowances
ARTICLE 37 – (Amended: 17/4/2008-5754/23 art.)
Marriage allowance is paid in a lump sum to female children whose income or pensions need to be cut off due to their marriage. If they apply, they are entitled to receive a one-time payment equivalent to two years’ worth of their income or pension. If a person who has received the marriage allowance becomes entitled to receive a pension again within two years from the date their pension was cut, no income or pension will be granted until the end of the two-year period. In such cases, they are considered a general health insurance holder under paragraph (f) of the first clause of Article 60.
When the marriage allowance is provided, the income or pensions of other entitled beneficiaries are recalculated according to Article 34, starting from the payment period following the end of the period for which the marriage allowance was given.
In the event of a work accident or occupational disease resulting in death, or if the insured person was receiving a permanent incapacity income, disability pension, invalidity due to duty, or old-age pension, or had at least 360 days of reported premiums for disability, old-age, and death insurance, the beneficiaries of the deceased are entitled to receive a funeral allowance according to a tariff determined by the Institution’s Board of Directors and approved by the Minister. The funeral allowance is paid in the following order: to the spouse of the insured person, or if there is no spouse, to their children; if there are no children, to their parents; and if there are no parents, to their siblings.
If none of the individuals listed in the third paragraph can receive the funeral allowance and if the funeral is arranged by individuals or legal entities, documented expenses, not exceeding the specified amount in the third paragraph, will be paid to the individuals or legal entities that covered the expenses. If the deceased is insured under paragraph (c) of the first clause of Article 4 and their institution provides any form of death benefit, transportation expenses, or similar payments related to the funeral, the Institution does not pay the funeral allowance.
