“Bereaved family members supported by the insured person”

In the event of the death of an insured person, Funeral Expenses will be paid to bereaved family members supported by the insured person. However, this category is not restricted to dependents. It includes anyone who depended for their livelihood on the income of the insured person at the time of his or her death, even if the bereaved did not belong to the same household as the insured person or did not have a family relationship with him or her.

If the cause is a workplace accident

When the death was caused by an accident at the workplace or while commuting, Funeral Assistance will be paid by Worker's Accident Compensation Insurance instead of health insurance. Check with the person responsible at your establishment for more information.

• *When even illnesses and injuries on-the-job are not targeted for benefits of the Worker's Accident Compensation Insurance, benefits of the health insurance are provided except the duties as the officer of the corporation (except for a corporation less than five employees).

In some cases, benefits are paid even after leaving employment

Funeral expenses are paid even in the following cases:

1. Death of the insured person within three months after leaving employment
2. Death occurring during the period of receiving Injury and Sickness Allowance or Maternity Allowance
3. Death within three months after the end of receipt of Injury and Sickness Allowance or Maternity Allowance

• * To receive payment of funeral expenses, the requirement for being insured for at least one year does not apply.
