Employees at Covid-19 have filed over 81K compensation claims.
The Employees’ Compensation Commission has handled over 81,000 employee compensation (EC) claims related to the coronavirus illness 2019 (Covid-19) (ECC).
ECC Executive Director Stella Zipagan-Banawis stated during the Laging Handa briefing on Saturday that the claims were processed through the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) for state workers and the Social Security System (SSS) for private-sector employees.
“At ECC, we’ve already processed over 24,000 monetary aid applications for PHP10,000 or PHP15,000, depending on what happened to them,” she continued.
Those who were infected or had a positive RT-PCR (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) result will receive PHP10,000, while those who died as a result of Covid-19 will receive PHP15,000.
“Your Covid-19 disease or experience does not have to be serious. You can claim an EC benefit if you test positive for antigen or RT-PCR,” Banawis stated.
Even if the afflicted employee still has to leave credits, the EC benefit can be claimed.
“The EC benefit is in addition to any SSS and GSIS benefits relating to Covid,” she explained.
