If you need to be absent due to medical problems, such as an accident, illness or childbirth, you must apply for disability to the Mexican Institute of Social Welfare (IMSS). When making this request, the department issues a disability certificate to justify the employee's absence of activity according to the date necessary for recovery.
It should be remembered that subsidy payments are valid only in the following cases and operate at the following rates:
- General illness: 100% of the salary recorded in the IMSS at the beginning of disability
- Professional risk: 60%
-Birth: 100% at the beginning of the 34th week of pregnancy, the total number of days included in the document
To apply for disability, the employee must meet the following requirements and present it in the original form in the IMSS window:
1.Official ID card. It can be a voting certificate, a valid passport, a professional ID card, or a military service card.
2. A document containing the employee's Social Security Number (NSS). This may be the National Health Card or employer mentioned above.
Bank statement with 18-digit interbank CLABE insurance. This document is accepted only if the delivery period is not more than 3 months and the name of the insured is included.
4. Request for Payment Registration and Bank Account Reconciliation (PDF)
5.IMSS uses a scanner to scan images on the website. If you attach photos, make sure they can be read with good resolution, focus (not moving) only if there is plenty of natural light without flash.
To carry out the procedure, the interested party must enter this link and enter the RFC and e.firma files or files with homo claves, which must be valid before the Tax Administration (Sat).
To register for this service by e-mail provided by the delegation, the aforementioned document must be attached to the following request:
Disability payments are made within 3 business days from the date of registration of documents at the bank window, the subsidy can be paid by the relevant organizations, presenting the original and a copy of the unique certificate of incapacity, as well as a valid official identification card.
If the company in which you work has concluded a “payment agreement” with IMSS, you can also receive payment directly from the salary receipt. The originals of the “copy sample” of disability must be delivered to the human resources area of the workplace.
If you are unemployed or decide to start collecting income directly, the Mexican Institute of Social Welfare (IMSS) offers options for those who are self-employed, work in the informal sector or have recently stopped working for a company or employer.
