ALOR SETAR: The Social Security Organisation (Socso) has set up a special task force to investigate claims under the Socso Employment Injury Scheme for Covid-19 to expedite payments to those involved.
Deputy Human Resource Minister Awang Hashim said applications from SOCSO contributors infected by the virus while on duty will be processed immediately and will take a maximum period of 45 days from the date of receipt to be processed.
“If the application meets all the SOCSO requirements, payment can be made as soon as possible,” he told reporters after opening the Kedah Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) triennial delegates conference here, today.
