Social security benefit eligibility rules define contribution thresholds, benefit rates, duration limits, and dependants' entitlements for insured persons. Qualification for claiming sickness, maternity, disablement and dependants' benefits is linked to contribution periods, benefit periods and specified eligibility conditions. The rule sets thresholds for sickness benefit, extended sickness benefit, maternity benefit, disablement benefit and dependants' benefit, and prescribes the applicable daily rates, duration limits, exclusions, special cases and adjustments based on standard benefit rate, contribution history and employment injury.
