The son receives a share of the pension upon his parent’s death given that he is less than 21 years old and unemployed, otherwise the pension is redistributed equally (all children will get the same rate if unemployed and under 21 years old).
Exceptions:
A son who’s aged 21 or over will receive his share in pension, given the below conditions:
- He will receive his parents share if he’s still studying, up until he finds a job or turns 28 years old.
- In case he is disabled and cannot work. His disability must be authorized by GPSSA’s medical committee.
