Social Security Act, 1987 (No. 10 of 1987), 13 February 1987.


 This document contains major portions of Malta's 1987 Social Security Act, which consolidates amendments made to the basic Social Security Act of 1956. The 1987 Act covers provision of free medical aid in the form of drugs, spectacles, dentures, and other prosthetic aids as needed to the head of a household for any member of the household in need if the total weekly income of all members of the household does not exceed a specified limit. Guardians of any orphan of an insured citizen of Malta are entitled to a specified Orphan's Allowance. The Act also authorizes a lump sum marriage grant to any person employed or self-employed for at least 6 months at any time prior to the marriage, and provides for maternity benefits for citizens or spouses of citizens normally resident on Malta. Maternity benefits are withheld from claimants who received the benefits on 3 occasions before the date of the claim and have 3 or more children living at the date of the claim. The Act also provides family allowances of decreasing amounts for each child in specified circumstances.
