APPROVAL OF EXTENSION OF COVERAGE UNTIL AGE 18 FOR CHILDREN OF ISSS CONTRIBUTORS

Dear Clients and Friends:

ROMERO PINEDA & ASOCIADOS, informs you that the Legislative Assembly during a plenary session approved to reform the Social Security Law in order to allow the children of ISSS contributors to have coverage up to the age of 18.

The reform to article 2 of the Social Security Law raises from 12 to 18 years the age for children of ISSS contributors to have access to medical care for illnesses, common accidents and maternity.

The reform will be mandatory once it is published in the Official Gazette and will come into force in the next fiscal year, in order to guarantee the full application of the new provisions.

For more information and legal assistance, please contact Beatriz Merino, Labor Unit Coordinator at (503) 2505-5555 or email bmerino@romeropineda.com.

It will be a pleasure for us to serve you.
