For which workers may the Corporation lend toward their own share of medical costs, and what must already have happened first?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In practice material of this kind we read the application for treatment the worker filed, the paper showing the condition is an occupational disease rather than an ordinary illness, and any decision on medical benefits or the record showing it has not yet been made.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes every condition together: the Corporation may run a lending business toward the employee's share of medical costs under the National Health Insurance Act only where the condition is an occupational disease, the worker has already applied for treatment, and the worker falls within the class designated by Presidential Decree with the time until a benefit decision in view.
Another reading notes what the provision does not say: it gives the Corporation a power, not a duty, to lend, and it leaves the designated class to Presidential Decree, so the text alone does not settle which workers must be offered a loan.
Your judgment
Given how long a benefit decision would take in this file, what facts would show the worker falls within the class the Presidential Decree designates?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to change the conditions for a loan, if the Presidential Decree alters who is designated, or if a decision explains what counts as considering the time until a benefit decision.
