Social Insurance Law

1. A missing or absent contributor shall, with respect to compensations to which his family members are entitled, be treated in the same manner as a contributor whose death has been established. 2. If a missing or absent contributor is found to be alive, payment of the pension or benefit to his family members shall be suspended, and he shall be treated as follows: a) If he is a recipient of a pension or benefit, payment of the pension or benefit shall be resumed, and he shall be paid the difference between his pension or benefit and the payments made to his family members during the period he was missing or absent. b) If he is not a recipient of a pension or benefit, he shall be liable for the payments made to his family members and the payments shall be deducted from his dues with the Organization. If such payments are in excess of his dues, recovery of the balance shall be disregarded. The Regulations shall specify the provisions necessary for the application of this Article.
