Failure to reach an agreement as specified in Paragraph 1 of Article 53 of the Act means that each applicant fails to complete the agreement within 30 days as specified in the written notice from the insurer and submit a certificate of agreement.

When there are two or more surviving family members with the same priority and an agreement is reached by the proviso of Paragraph 2 of Article 53 of the Act, the insurer may notify the applicant in writing to complete the agreement within 30 days, and the representative applicant shall submit such agreement. If the applicant fails to submit it within the time limit, the insurer may issue an annuity to the surviving family member by Paragraph 2 of Article 53 of the Act, and the surviving family members may not request the change.

If there are two or more surviving family members with the same priority and they apply for a lump sum benefit for the surviving family members by the provisions of Paragraph 3 of Article 49 of the Act, they cannot jointly claim it, the insurer may notify the other unnamed surviving family members (who have the same priority) in writing using the registered address to reach an agreement for joint claiming within 30 days; if they fail to apply within the time limit, except for complying with the age requirements, it will be deemed that they fail to meet the requirements for surviving family annuity benefit.

If the insured passes away and the minor beneficiary is unable to claim the survivor's annuity, the lump sum benefit, or the survivor allowance, the insured unit to which the insured affiliates shall immediately notify the insurer to keep the benefit and accumulate the interest until such beneficiary can claim it.

When the beneficiary or the person paying the funeral expenses applies for the death benefit, if the insured unit to which the insured affiliates has not proceeded with the withdrawal procedures, the insurer will withdraw the insurance directly.
