Are Dependents Eligible for Benefits from the Labor Welfare Fund After a Worker’s Passing?

Entitlements for Dependents Under the Labor Welfare Fund

If a person who was working in an organization that was deducting a labor welfare fund for the last year passes away due to natural causes, are his dependents entitled to receive pension benefits under the labor welfare fund? What other benefits can his dependents avail?

In such a situation, first, we need to determine which State Labour Welfare Fund Act is applicable and then review the various welfare schemes being administered by the State Labour Welfare Board in response to your query. You can also consult your local labor office for assistance.

Purpose of Welfare Fund

Why should we pay into the welfare fund? What benefits will we get from the welfare fund?

---

The purpose of a welfare fund is to provide financial assistance and support to employees in times of need. By contributing to the welfare fund, employees ensure that there is a safety net in place to help them during emergencies, such as medical expenses, accidents, or other unforeseen circumstances. The fund is designed to benefit all employees by offering a collective pool of resources that can be accessed when required. Overall, the welfare fund aims to promote the well-being and security of the workforce, fostering a sense of care and community within the organization.

I hope this clarifies the importance and benefits of the welfare fund.
