These are all the procedures to register a beneficiary with Social Security

Both workers, pensioners and other recipients of some type of benefit are entitled to health care guaranteed by Social Security. However, in addition to this, not only do these people enjoy this right, but it is also extended to their family members and dependents.

But how can they register these citizens? The Administration provides that any insured of the Social Security system can register a beneficiary, provided that he is in one of these situations:

– Being the spouse of the insured person or common-law partner.

– Be an ex-spouse or be legally separated. As long as you have the right to receive a compensatory pension from the insured person.

– Be a descendant or dependent of the insured person or their spouse and be under 26 years of age or have a recognized disability of 65% or higher.

How can I register a beneficiary with Social Security?

Social Security has already expanded the ways to carry out any procedure several times. The intention of the Administration is to facilitate these processes for people who are not native to the Internet, and, likewise, to simplify them for those who do have some control over computing.

For this reason, the National Social Security Institute (INSS) has just expanded the ways to do it electronically through the Tu Seguridad Social portal and allows access to this service through a representative who has a digital certificate or cl@ve .

In this way, when an insured needs to register another beneficiary, they can do so in the following ways:

– Through the Your Social Security portal. For this, it will be necessary to have an electronic certificate or cl@ve.

– On the Tu Seguridad Social portal through a representative who has a digital certificate or cl@ve.

– In person, although it will be necessary to make an appointment at a Social Security Service and Information Center (CAISS).

– By ordinary mail to the Provincial Directorate of the INSS or the corresponding ISM.

In the case of not having prior identification methods, it is possible to use the platform for procedures without a digital certificate from the INSS.
