Abstract
Upon the occurrence of social risk or the death of family’s breadwinner
who was the insured person of pension beneficiary, the Federal Pension Insurance
institute, as the debtor, authorizes the members of his/her family, as the trustees of
the social and legal relationship, to demand she execution of social benefits. The right
of family members to survivor’s pension requires the fulfillment of general conditions
related to the deceased person and special conditions on behalf of his/her family.
Both types of conditions bear equal importance as the failure to meet any of them
creates the obstacle to exercise the right to survivor’s pension.
The article examines all the conditions required for a person to exercise the right to
survivor’s pension. In addition, it presents various solutions of the “old” and “new”
Law on Pension and Disability Insurance of Bosnia and Herzegovina Federation
and analyzes the new arrangements in accordance with the basic principles that
serve as the foundation of survivor’s pension.
