We cover all 5 scenarios: under 21, up to 25 if studying, disability between 33-64% up to 25, lifelong disability >=65%, and full orphan. We calculate the amount: 20% of the BR (regulatory base) for a single orphan, or 20% plus the distribution of the unrecognised widow's pension for a full orphan.

Practical guide: INSS family benefits: pregnancy, breastfeeding and orphanhood. Requirements, deadlines and the steps, explained.

Legal basis and things to bear in mind

  • Decision deadline: 90 calendar days. Silencio negativo.
  • The pension is lifelong if the disability is >=65% and no incompatible work is carried out. In all other cases, it expires upon reaching the age limit.
  • If studying, it must be renewed annually by proving current enrolment.
  • If it coincides with a widow's pension: manage both in parallel (use pension_viudedad). The sum of the widow's + orphan's pension can never exceed 100% of the BR, except in cases of multiple full orphans.
  • It is compatible with work by the orphan if their annual income is lower than the current SMI (national minimum wage) (art. 224.6 TRLGSS).
