As of 1 July 2018, SOCSO has expanded social security protection to a spouse working with his or her spouse in an enterprise under Act 4 and Act 800. With the extension of the social security protection, qualified wives or husbands who are employed by their respective spouses to work for their spouses under Act 4 and Act 800 will be covered by social security under both Acts.

Foreign Workers
SOCSO has also extended its coverage for all legal foreign workers (excluding domestic servants) in Malaysia, effective 1 January 2019, whereby they will be covered by Employment Injury (EI) Scheme under Act 4. The rate of contribution is 1.25% of the insured monthly wages and to be paid by the employer. The EI Scheme provides protection to an employee against accident or an occupational disease arising out of and in the course of his employment as well as commuting accidents.

Return to Work Programme (RTW)
The RTW programme was introduced in 2007 as a proactive approach in helping SOCSO’s Insured Persons suffering from employment injury or illness. Injured or sick workers who have successfully undergone SOCSO’s RTW programme are now able to continue financially supporting themselves and their families as well as become part of the nation’s productive workforce again, thus contributing to the country’s economic growth.

SOCSO Tun Razak Rehabilitation Centre (TRRC)
The SOCSO TRRC, which is located at Hang Tuah Jaya in Banda Hijau, Melaka, commences its operations on 1 October 2014. The centre supports the RTW programme by providing comprehensive facilities to referred participants until the Insured Persons are able to get back actively into the working world, contributing to the socio-economic development of families, communities and the country.


Health Screening Programme (HSP)

SOCSO introduced the Health Screening Programme (HSP) in 2013 where it distributes health screening vouchers to insured workers once they turn 40. The HSP programme is as part of efforts to promote healthy lifestyle practices and subsequently address the non-communicable diseases among workers.
