공무원 재해보상제도의 건강손상자녀 보호방안 연구

초록

Due to a Supreme Court ruling in April 2020, the Korean Industrial Accident Insurance Act (KIAIA) was revised, and starting in January 2023, industrial accident insurance compensation for a live-born child with health issues due to its mother’s work during pregnancy has been provided. Based on this, a bill to amend the Public Officials’ Accident Compensation Act (POACA) was announced to provide similar compensation to the children of public officials with health issues. This study began with the purpose of presenting problems and alternatives to the currently announced POACA. As a methodology, literature reviews and case studies are used. The proposed recommendations can be largely divided into a plan to expand only services and a plan to expand beyond services to cash compensation. By setting the time of disability determination at the time of discovery of disability, nursing benefits, vocational rehabilitation benefits, and two kinds of paid care leaves could be immediately provided. In addition, disability benefits could be provided at a lower amount to minors in order to cover additional costs due to disabilities. The proposed measures do not significantly modify the current legal framework, but are appropriate for satisfying the principles and needs of compensation.
