When an Insured Person Is Confirmed as a COVID-19 Case, He/She Is Entitled to, in Accordance with Relevant Regulations, Claim the Labor Insurance Injury or Sickness Benefits for the Period of Homecare.

According to the Ministry of Labor, the Central Epidemic Command Center has implemented epidemic-preventing policies for the “Triage of Mild and Severe Cases”, with a purpose to expand the medical service capacities in response to the increasing confirmed cases recently. If a confirmed case has to alternatively receive homecare services according to the regulations, he/she will also be offered medical and healthcare services during the period in accordance with the relevant guidelines announced by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.  Facing the special pandemic period, therefore, the government endeavors to facilitate the epidemic-preventing policies as a whole and protect the financial needs of the workers during the homecare period. Insured persons, when confirmed as a COVID-19 case, will be entitled to claim the ordinary injury or sickness benefits in accordance with Article 33 of the Labor Insurance Act, regardless whether the worker has been admitted by a hospital, an enhanced centralized quarantine center/quarantine hotel or receiving homecare services.

※The insured person should prepare the following documents to claim the ordinary injury or sickness benefits, if he/she has been confirmed as a COVID-19 case and is qualified for the benefit:
  1. Injury or sickness benefits application form
  2. Injury/Sickness Diagnosis. The injury/sickness diagnosis is not required if the applicant attaches the “COVID-19 Designated Residence Isolation Notice”. If it is impossible to obtain the isolation notice for the time being, the applicant may alternatively attach the “Digital COVID-19 Certificate – Test Result Digital Certificate” or the screenshot of the “National Health Insurance Express App-Confirmed COVID-19” (which should show the personal ID number), or other information which is sufficient to evidence the confirmed case; the injury/sickness diagnosis is not required as well.
Please be reminded that: the right of claim for the labor insurance injury or sickness benefits shall remain valid for five years. The insured person may file the application after he/she is recovered from the disease or has returned to work, as long as it is within five years. The insured person’s rights will not be affected.
