Compensability refers to the criteria that determine whether a sickness, injury, disability, or death qualifies for EC benefits. To be compensable, the condition must arise out of or in the course of employment, and it must meet ECC eligibility rules.
SSS reviews documents such as employer reports, medical evidence, and timelines of incident occurrence. The burden of proof varies depending on whether the condition is listed as an occupational disease.
Understanding compensability is crucial for employees and employers to properly file EC claims and comply with benefit rules.
