Quick answer
To prepare a dependent-child benefit claim, prepare child birth registration, parent death and pension record, guardian identity and authority, school, disability or dependency evidence when required, confirm the current process with the Pension Management Office, former employing authority and paying bank, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Lawful guardians and dependent children of a deceased eligible employee or pensioner
- Applicants who need to prepare a dependent-child benefit claim using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Citizenship, pension authority or lawful claimant identity matching the service record
- □ child birth registration
- □ parent death and pension record
- □ guardian identity and authority
- □ school, disability or dependency evidence when required
- □ Official pension, gratuity, correction, verification or grievance reference
- □ Official pension-office, department or bank statement and receipt
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the Pension Management Office, former employing authority and paying bank is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across child birth registration, parent death and pension record, guardian identity and authority, school, disability or dependency evidence when required.

- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched child birth registration, parent death and pension record, guardian identity and authority, school, disability or dependency evidence when required
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Using an unauthorized adult's bank account or hiding age, marriage or employment changes can create improper payment.
