suppadmin | March 21, 2016

SUPP Public Complaints Bureau (SPCB) Chief and SUPP Candidate for N12 Kota Sentosa, Wilfred Yap was recently approached by a widow seeking for assistance to find out further information on the contributions made by her deceased husband’s employer to SOCSO (Social Security Organization)[or PERKESO (Pertubuhan Keselamatan Sosial)] and for assistance to apply for financial aid due to the death of her husband who is the sole breadwinner of her family.

SUPP PCB have now brought the matter up for the attention of SOCSO and have requested for their thorough investigation on the contribution made by widow’s deceased husband’s employer. SUPP PCB have also requested for SOCSO to assist with the application process on the widow’s entitlement to claim for financial benefits.

Since most people are not familiar with SOCSO, SUPP PCB would like to inform the general public that a portion of their monthly income is allocated for SOCSO from both employers and employees. SOCSO was incorporated by the Government to provide assistance both medically and financially to employees that have had their abilities reduced or incapacitated due to accidents or diseases. SOCSO also provide assistance to dependents of employees if they die through pensions.
