Time Taken to Verify Compensation Claims under Work Injury Compensation Act

Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for Manpower since the implementation of the Work Injury Compensation Act in 2019, what is the median time taken for the validity of a compensation claim to be determined.

Dr Tan See Leng: The median time taken for designated Work Injury Compensation (WIC) insurers to process a WIC claim is about six months. The processing time varies depending on the complexity of the case.
