To Become a Dependent

Individuals in a member’s family who depend on the member for financial support can become a dependent.

When a family member of the member is sick or injured, gives birth, or dies, the member may suffer from financial burden and hardships on their livelihood. Therefore, the member can claim for relatives within the third degree who are financially supported by the member as dependent(s).

The requirements for dependency approval do not necessarily match with the conditions for receiving a dependent allowance provided by the member’s school.
