EQUIVALENCE TO THE FULFILMENT OF FUNCTIONS OR TO THE RECEIVING OF CONTRIBUTIONS
CONVERGENT SOCIAL PROTECTION SCHEME /SOCIAL SECURITY GENERAL SCHEME

» The grant periods of different allowances gives rise to the registration of salaries by the Public Service Special Pension Scheme (CGA) or by social security institutions, for equivalence to the receiving of contributions, for the value of reference salary that served as a basis for calculation to the same

» In the Convergent Social Protection Scheme, the payment periods of benefits of protection in the unemployment granted by employer entities or by social security institutions as per the legislation applicable, are equivalent to the performance of functions for the purposes of this contingency

» The periods of enjoyment of the leave for assistance to a son/daughter, that do not confer the right to the grant of allowance, are deemed equivalent to the receiving of contributions, for the purposes of the formation rate of old age, disability and survivor’s pensions, that is to say, the corresponding time is taken into account for the calculation of pensions

» During the performance of work, on a part time regime that has been authorized to the public employee to accompany his/her son/daughter aged under 12 years old, the salary registered for the purposes of old age, disability and survivor’s pensions, corresponds to the value to which it would take place if the work were performed on a full time basis, corresponding the other half to the equivalence to the receiving of contributions

In the Convergent Social Protection Scheme, the employer entities shall inform the Public Service Special Pension Scheme on the value of the reference salary calculated for the grant of each allowance, as well as the period for which has been granted. They shall also inform on the enjoyment of the leave for assistance to a son/daughter and its duration, as well as the compensation value corresponding to full time in the case of performance of work on a part time basis

In the Social Security General Scheme, the equivalence to the receiving of contributions is unofficially registered by social security institutions whenever the grant of an allowance occurs. In the remaining situations the beneficiaries shall submit to the competent social security institutions a supporting document proven the existence of same, issued by the employer entities concerned
