Jasindo Settles Claims to 4985 Workers
Source : Bisnis Indonesia - 13 June 2007
PT. Asuransi Jasa Indonesia confirmed to have paid up IDR 14.9 billion in
settlement of 4985 out of 5000 claims already filed by Indonesian migrant
workers up to May 2007.
Jasindo Retail Operation Director, Herman Moenir said that his side has complied
with the normal procedures in settling claims which usually takes 7 days at the
longest provided all the required documents are complete. The remaining claims
out of 5000 filed are now being processed. The delay in claims payment is
usually due to incomplete documents. To deal with this problem Jasindo has
taken a proactive action by approaching the workers to collect their data,
Herman explained to the press in Jakarta yesterday. Herman’s statement
contradicts the statement made by the Head of BNP2TKI Jumhur Hidayat on the poor
performance of Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Insurance Consortium, due
to which the government may consider discontinuing the Consortium’s activities
since it hasn’t complied with regulations. According to Jumhur the performances
of both Jasindo Consortium and PT. Asuransi Bangun Krida Consortium were so bad
that they made it difficult for claims settlement. Additionally, the Consortium
didn’t have sales offices/counters in several training centers or workers
destination countries. Herman revealed that the delay in claims payment is
mainly due to the fact that the workers are unable to provide complete
documents. Up to May 2007 the number of workers participating in Jasindo’s
workers insurance reached 495,780. Herman declined that Jasindo has no service
network. He commented that Jasindo has opened up representative offices that
provide insurance service in Bandung, West Java, Banjar Baru, South Kalimantan,
and Nunukan, East Kalimantan.
The data provided by the Department of Manpower and Transportation may not be
complete. We have got three workers service centers in the above mentioned
areas, while the Evaluation Team of the Department stated we have not. As to
broker fees, Herman continued to say that his company pays only 40 % of the
premium based on the agreement already put in writing.
