General Disability Subsidy: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the General Disability Subsidy works for employees in Mexico who are unable to work due to illness.
The General Disability Subsidy provides financial support to employees who are unable to perform their job duties because of an illness.
Who it's for
This scheme is for employees who are currently unable to work because they are dealing with an illness.
What you get
Once you have been unable to work for four days or more, a government body will cover a portion of your salary. Specifically, you will receive 60% of your salary as a subsidy.
What it costs you
To access this support, you must obtain a medical certificate issued by the relevant social security institute.
The catch to know
The first three days of your illness are usually unpaid by the government. You should check your specific company policy to see if your employer covers these initial days or if they remain unpaid.
How to apply
- Consult with your healthcare provider to confirm your inability to work.
- Obtain the official medical certificate from the social security office.
- Present your documentation to your employer to initiate the claim process.
