Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2024, published 113rd ILC session (2025)

Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102) - Chad (Ratification: 2015)

Article 63(2) of the Convention. Reduced survivors’ benefit. The Committee observed previously that, in the event of the death of an insured person who, at the date of death, had completed fewer than 15 years of insurance, the survivors are entitled to a survivors’ benefit payable in a lump sum. The Committee recalls that, in accordance with Article 63(2) of the Convention, a reduced periodical benefit shall be secured at least to a person protected whose breadwinner has completed, in accordance with the prescribed rules, a qualifying period of five years of contribution or employment. Noting the absence of information on this subject in the Government’s report, the Committee once again requests the Government to ensure the provision of a reduced periodical survivors’ benefit where the breadwinner has completed five years of insurance.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
