Q: If a worker suffers from disease prior to being enrolled in labor insurance, can he/she apply for permanent disability benefits?
Sunflower Explains
If a worker suffers from a disease prior to being enrolled in labor insurance and, after receiving treatment, is diagnosed with a permanent disability during the insurance coverage period, he/she qualifies for labor insurance permanent disability benefits and can submit an application to the Bureau of Labor Insurance.
Reminder
If partial disability is confirmed prior to being enrolled in labor insurance, the permanent disability benefits cannot be claimed for the partial disability; the permanent disability benefits can only be claimed for disabilities diagnosed during the period of insurance coverage.
During the period of receiving unemployment benefits or vocational training living allowance, for the unemployed laborers having no income parents, spouse, under aged children or children with physical or mental disability could apply for extra dependent benefits/allowance.
An extra 10% of benefits or allowance counted based on the average monthly insured salary for the 6 months period prior to the month the insured person withdraws from the insurance would be issued to every dependent, however, the maximum extra benefits and allowance is 20% of the base stated above.
