Statute overview

About this statute

This article says certain Spanish benefit conditions are treated as satisfied if the person was insured under Japanese law, received a Japanese pension based on their own insurance periods, or completed the required insurance period under Japanese rules in the relevant prior period. La persona cubierta por la legislación de ambas Partes puede tener derecho a prestaciones españolas; la institución española competente debe determinar el derecho, calcular la cuantía y pagar la prestación más favorable. Las autoridades competentes o instituciones competentes de ambas Partes pueden establecer una excepción a los artículos 6 a 9 para determinadas personas o categorías de personas, si están sujetas a la legislación de una de las Partes. This article says that, for work-accident and occupational-disease benefits, certain workers are subject to Spanish legislation and the contributions must be paid by the employing company or by the self-employed worker, depending on the case. Spouses or children accompanying a worker in Japan are generally not subject to Japanese law if they are not Japanese, unless they ask otherwise.
