SOCSO pay for work-accident sick leave (80% of wage)

PERKESO Faedah Hilang Upaya Sementara (HUS)

Injured in an accident at work, or on the way to or from work, and the doctor gives you at least 4 days of medical leave? A SOCSO-insured worker can get 80% of their average daily wage (RM30 to RM158.67 a day) for the whole medical leave, plus free treatment at a SOCSO panel clinic or a government clinic or hospital.

1. Check you qualify: you're a SOCSO-insured employee, hurt while working, travelling between home and work, or going for a meal in your break, and the doctor gave at least 4 days of medical leave (including the accident day).
2. Get free treatment at a SOCSO panel clinic or a government clinic or hospital. Bring Borang 21 (accident report) or an introduction letter from your employer.
3. Your employer fills in Borang 21 and Borang 10 (claim). Attach a copy of your MyKad, the MC, attendance record and a medical-information consent letter. Road accident while commuting: add the police report and a sketch map of your route. Submit to the nearest PERKESO office.
4. Claiming is free: don't use agents who charge a commission. Under PERKESO's client charter, HUS is paid within 7 days of receiving complete documents. Use your MyKad number as the reference when checking status.
