First, what is the subsidy for employees to support their immediate family members?
Regarding the medical scope of the employees of enterprises who implement the labor insurance regulations to support their immediate family members, all localities have been writing to ask. According to the regulations and the opinions handled in the past, the reply is as follows:
According to Item (5) of Article 13 of the Labor Insurance Regulations, when an employee's immediate family member falls ill, he can receive free treatment in the enterprise's medical clinic, hospital, specialized hospital or specialized department of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. Half of the expenses for surgery and generic drugs shall be borne by the administrative department of the enterprise, and all expenses such as medical expenses, hospitalization expenses and hospital meals shall be borne by itself. According to this regulation, all immediate family members supported by employees, whether they live with employees or not, live in cities or rural areas. Anyone who can go to the above-mentioned designated medical institutions for medical treatment when he is sick can enjoy the medical treatment stipulated in Item (5) of Article 13 of the Labor Insurance Regulations. If he fails to go to the above-mentioned designated medical institutions for medical treatment when he is ill, in principle, he shall pay medical expenses and other expenses. Those who do have difficulties and cannot make a living can be regarded as living difficulties and given appropriate subsidies by the grassroots.
For employees who need to be transferred due to work, their immediate family members have enjoyed the prescribed medical treatment in the original unit. After the employee changes jobs, due to the restriction of local dormitory conditions, he cannot go with the employee. If their family members are sick in local public hospitals, the required medical expenses shall be managed by the unit where the employees work, and the medical and health subsidies shall be reimbursed according to regulations.
Workers who have been mobilized to reduce the urban population and return to the countryside to support their immediate family members can continue to enjoy the prescribed medical treatment if they still meet the support conditions after returning to the countryside. Unable to go to the designated medical institutions for medical treatment, the medical expenses shall be borne by me in principle, and the enterprise may give appropriate subsidies under the difficult allowance.
I hope that through the above, you can have a deeper understanding of the related issues of employee support for immediate family members.
