Introduction of Asian Workers’ Compensation Forum Benefits are very crucial for both injured workers and their families. They are directly of indirectly related with cash and reflect how the insurance is operated in microscopic way. Then let us start the lecture. It will go in this order. Section one is outline of benefits. In section two, we will examine what sort of benefits there are and how they work. This section two has such a great deal of content that we cannot look at it specifically. So we will browse it in a quick time. As we took a look at each EII system of participant countries, we examine it in terms of benefit system in section three. And Moral hazard in the light of EII claimants is worth discussing. Such an insurance fraud threatens social security system like EII. So preventive measures against insurance fraud in EII will be mentioned in section four. 1 1

1 Overview ❍ International trends toward emphases on labor sector and supports for cooperative initiatives ❍ Need to organize an Asia-wide forum comparable with the European Workers' Compensation Forum ❍ Crisis in social security accompanied by trends toward a low- birth & ageing society ❍ Globalization of social security system through international exchanges among labor markets This picture shows how benefits works at each stage of physical condition of patients. Firstly, when accident happens, we deliver medical benefits to patients or medical service provider such as hospitals, pharmacists. Also temporary disability benefits are given to them for loss of income while they are under hospitalization or keep outpatient with medically recognized invalidity for labor. Specific amount of temporary disability benefit is 70% of daily average income. In case medical treatment last more than two years and the patient’s invalidity is under required level(grade1-3), temporary disability benefit might turns into injury-disease compensation annuity. In case of foreigners such as migrant workers, they can be paid all the benefits available in lump sum even though their medical treatments do not end when they are determined to depart from Korea. After medical treatment ends, we give permanent disability benefits for the permanent loss of labor in accordance with invalidity grade 1 to 14. They were paid by pension in case of grade 1 to 3 and pension or lump sum is selectable in case of grade 4 to 7. In case of grade 8 to 14, permanent disability benefit is paid in lump sum. Pension is paid monthly until the last day of the month the pensioner’s death date belongs to. Also nursing benefit could be given to patients in need of nursing care. Vocational rehabilitation benefit helps workers to return to work by retraining them, supporting employers’ employment ability. This is the case of injured workers. When their treatment resume in EII, the same rule of benefits also works. In case of death of workers, funeral expenses and survivors benefits are given to each entitled persons.
