Did you know that Malaysian workers who previously chose to opt out of the PERKESO Skim LINDUNG 24 Jam scheme can easily reverse their decision and rejoin the coverage programme online?
If you have changed your mind and want to reactivate your protection, the process can be completed in just a few straightforward steps through the official portal.
What is PERKESO Skim LINDUNG 24 Jam and why is it important?
Skim LINDUNG 24 Jam is a social security protection initiative managed by PERKESO that provides continuous round the clock coverage for employees.
Standard employment injury coverage typically applies only to accidents occurring strictly during working hours or work related travel, whereas this scheme expands protection to cover non work related accidents 24 hours a day.
It serves as a crucial financial safety net by providing medical benefits and financial allowances for unexpected injuries occurring outside official duty hours.
How to change your account status from opt out to opt in
If you wish to re enable your protection, PERKESO has outlined four steps to complete the switch using the Portal LINDUNG Faedah platform.
To start, visit the official portal website at lindungfaedah.perkeso.gov.my and log into your user account. From the main screen, select the menu tab labelled Opt Out ke Opt In or Pilih Majikan.
Next, tick the option that states “Saya Memilih untuk Menyertai Skim LINDUNG 24 Jam” to indicate your participation. Then, click the confirmation button marked “Sahkan, Saya Mahu Menyertai”. Upon successful confirmation, the system will display your official Skim LINDUNG 24 Jam participation form.
Make sure to verify your choice before confirming, as PERKESO states that submitted selections cannot be altered afterwards.
