Workers Accident Insurance

Eligibility

All employees are covered under the Workers’ Accident Compensation Insurance (WACI).

Benefits

If your death was the result of an accident at work, or was the result of an occupational disease, benefits are paid to the following dependents: your widowed spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, or brothers and sisters. Except for widows, all dependents must meet specified age or disability requirements.

The annual pension paid is equal to the basic daily benefit amount multiplied by 153 to 245 days according to the number of qualified survivors eligible for the benefits. The basic daily benefit depends on the employee’s remuneration.

If none of the survivors qualifies for a pension, then lump sum benefits are paid. This is equal to up to 1,000 times the basic daily benefit amount of the deceased person.

A Survivor’s Special Allowance of JPY 3,000,000 is paid to all survivors as a lump sum, regardless of whether pension qualification conditions are met or not. This allowance is divided equally per each survivor.

A Survivors Special Bonus Pension is paid to the survivors who are eligible to receive the Survivors Compensation Pension. The annual pension amounts range from 153 to 245 times bonus amount in the last year divided by 365 (same as Survivors Compensation Pension). This is paid from the Workers’ Accident Compensation Insurance (WACI) in addition to the Survivors Compensation Pension.
