benefits under the Health and Compensation Act
What are the benefits that employees and their families are eligible to receive under the Health and Compensation Act? The Health and Compensation Act is a piece of legislation that protects the rights of retirees, as well as beneficiaries of benefit plans offered by employers. It is also designed to ensure that all workers are provided with adequate health and medical care if they are injured at work or otherwise become sick or disabled.
Health and Compensation Act is a purely employer-based benefit. The EC fund is managed by the GSIS and it covers all public and private sector employees and their dependents in the event of death, disability or work-related injury. Insured persons and their dependents can receive benefits under the EC scheme, such as hospitalisation, rehabilitation, treatment for minor disabilities, and miscellaneous services. These are paid from a special fund established by the State Government and administered by the GSIS.
The EC scheme applies to all employees who are entitled to sick or annual leave but have been unable to use the leave because they are disabled for work by an occupational disease or illness. The Health and Compensation Act scheme allows a worker to request “buy back” of sick and annual leave used for an approved claim for disability compensation.

There are several other benefits that are covered under the Federal Workers’ Compensation Act, including medical benefit and pensions. These can be requested by the insured person or the family of an employee who died as a result of an employment-related accident, and are payable until the employee dies.
The Medicare program is a federal government program that provides healthcare benefits to all Americans. It is financed by a payroll tax on employers, who pay the tax at the rate of 4.2 percent for employees and 6.2 percent for employers up to $106,800 in 2011. Most states require that employers offer their workers some form of health insurance or other coverage. This can be either a group plan or an individual policy. It is important to understand that both types of plans can have significant differences in the amount of coverage available.
In some cases, a group plan may be a fee-for-service plan, in which members pay for health care services on their own and submit reimbursements from the company’s insurance carrier. This can be an efficient way to get the most out of your insurance.
Health Reimbursement Accounts are an additional type of health benefit that is offered by many employers. These plans allow employees to set aside a pre-tax amount, which they can then use to cover their out-of-pocket medical costs. These accounts are usually linked to a group health insurance policy and can be used to cover a variety of expenses, such as dental or eye care.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) is a new set of laws that requires all health insurance plans to include a basic package of benefits, such as hospitalization, maternity, and prescription drug coverage. It also places limits on the amount of out-of-pocket cost-sharing for these services.
