Work Disability Benefit: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn if you can receive partial salary replacement if an illness or injury prevents you from working in Mexico.
This benefit provides financial support to workers who are unable to perform their jobs due to an illness or an injury.
Who it's for
This scheme is for workers who are physically unable to work because of a medical condition, illness, or injury.
What you get
You receive a partial replacement of your salary to help cover your expenses while you are recovering and unable to earn a full income.
What it costs you
There is no direct monetary fee to apply, but you must obtain official medical certification from a doctor at the issuing agency to prove your condition.
The catch to know
The amount of money you receive is calculated based on your officially registered salary. If your registered salary is lower than what you actually take home each month, your benefit will reflect that lower amount.
How to apply
- Visit your local medical center to be evaluated.
- Obtain a medical certificate from the doctor confirming your inability to work.
- Present your medical documentation to the relevant office to process your payments.
