If the insured remains enrolled in Labor Insurance while on temporary parental leave without pay to care for his or her infant child and requires hospital care due to ordinary injury or sickness during the period for which Labor Insurance coverage is effective, then he or she is eligible to apply for ordinary temporary disability benefits if the requirements of Article 33 of the Labor Insurance Act are met. In addition, pursuant to the Explanatory Letter Lao-Bao-1 No. 0980140398 issued by the Council of Labor Affairs, Executive Yuan, on August 17, 2009, parental leave allowance and Labor insurance temporary disability benefits are both compensation for loss of income, and therefore the insured person may not apply for both at the same time based on the principle that protection provided by social insurance should not be duplicated. Therefore, if the insured person requires hospital care during the period in which he receives parental leave allowance, then he or she may not apply for temporary disability benefits.
