Farmers' Occupational Accident Insurance: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how South Korean farmers can get coverage for medical expenses and disability compensation resulting from accidents during agricultural work.
This insurance scheme provides financial protection for people working in agriculture who suffer injuries or disabilities due to their work.
Who it's for
This scheme is available to anyone engaged in agricultural work who is between the ages of 15 and 87.
What you get
If you have an accident while performing farming tasks, this insurance covers your medical expenses. It also provides compensation if the accident results in a disability.
What it costs you
You must pay an annual premium to maintain your coverage. However, the government helps lower this cost by subsidizing between 50% and 70% of the premium.
The catch to know
The insurance only covers accidents that happen specifically while you are performing agricultural work. It does not cover general health issues or illnesses that are not caused by your farming activities.
How to apply
- Check your eligibility based on your age and farming status.
- Determine the current premium amount and available government subsidies.
- Contact the insurance provider to enroll.
