Social Security Fund pays one-time occupational disease compensation if employer lost socialized status at claim date.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court ruled that the Social Security Fund must pay one-time occupational disease compensation when the employer lost its socialized status by the time the claim became enforceable. The plaintiff, a hairdresser, suffered a chronic skin condition while employed in a socialized hairdressing salon but the entity ceased to be socialized before the official medical assessment of the disability. The court held that the statutory obligation to pay falls on the Social Security Fund if the employer is no longer classified as a socialized entity at the moment the right to compensation arises.
