Labor Insurance Bureau Conducts Nationwide Audit of 3 Million Workers: 8 Situations Could Lead to Insurance Cancellation

The Labor Insurance Bureau of the Ministry of Labor announced a comprehensive audit of over 3 million workers affiliated with labor unions across Taiwan. If any violations are found, the work history of the non-compliant workers will be reset, and their eligibility for claims will be revoked, impacting the pensions they earned over the years.

This audit primarily targets violations such as 'pension zombies'. 'Cuizhilingguang' mentioned on YouTube that the bureau is ensuring that workers covered through unions are 'actually employed' and meet the necessary qualifications to protect the rights of individuals regarding collective insurance, preventing exploitation of loopholes.

The eight situations that could lead to insurance cancellation include: 1. Being a ghost member with only nominal coverage without actual employment; 2. Unauthorized double insurance; 3. Lack of necessary licenses for certain industries while still insured; 4. Enrollment during hospital stays; 5. Imprisonment due to criminal activity; 6. Long-term residency abroad while still claiming union membership; 7. Failure to pay union dues leading to potential cancellation; 8. Leaving the industry or withdrawing from the union will also result in cancellation of coverage.
