Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the Foreign Worker Bond is forfeited?

If you or your foreign worker breaches any of MOM’s rules or conditions, MOM may forfeit the bond and demand for payment from ECICS. ECICS will pay $5,000 to MOM on your behalf and in such cases, we will seek recovery of the amount from you.

What happens to my policy if my FDW is returning to her home country and not coming back?

You will need to cancel her work permit to stop your levy and ensure that you keep a copy of her travel ticket or departure itinerary as proof. MOM will proceed to discharge the Security Bond after verifying that your FDW has left and did not re-enter Singapore. Upon discharge, you may proceed to request for policy cancellation.

If I make a claim, will I automatically lose my NCD?

If there is a claim made under the policy, your NCD will be reduced as follows. Private Car Current NCD NCD after 1 Claim 50% 20% 40% 10% 30% and under 0% Motorcycle/Commercial Vehicle Current NCD NCD after 1 Claim 20%/15%/10% 0%

What do I do if my vehicle is not drivable?

You may call our 24-hour helpline at +65 6206 5588 (option 9) to have your vehicle towed or alternatively you may call our Authorised Workshops in the list.

Is my FDW covered while she is on home leave?

No, she is not covered unless she is travelling with you. We recommend purchasing a separate travel insurance for your FDW as the coverage would be more comprehensive for overseas situations where medical and evacuation costs are expected to be much higher.

My FDW’s age is 61 years old, can I still renew her policy?

The eligibility criteria states that the insured FDW must be between 23 and 60 years old at the time of application. This means that individuals outside of this age range may not qualify for coverage under the insurance policy.

Are pre-existing medical conditions covered?

It is only covered under Hospital & Surgical Expenses if the FDW had been under your employment for more than 12 months.

Can I purchase only the $5,000 Security Bond without the accompanying insurance?

No. The Security Bond is included in our Enhanced MaidAssure along with MOM’s minimum medical and personal accident insurance as a package. We do not offer just the Security Bond.

What is a Security Bond?

A Security Bond is a commitment to reimburse the government if either you or your FDW violates or fail to adhere to the terms and conditions of the work permit. This bond typically takes the form of a banker's or insurer's guarantee. For each FDW you employ (excluding Malaysian helpers), you are required to purchase a $5,000 security bond.

Can I buy Waiver of Counter Indemnity after my policy has incepted?

No, you are not able to purchase the Waiver of Counter Indemnity after policy has incepted.

Can I claim against a foreign registered motorist?

It is advisable to make a claim on your own insurance policy. Making a claim against motorists from another country can turn out to be costly and time-consuming. If you are not at fault, your NCD will not be affected.

How do I add Family members to be eligible for Comprehensive Family NCD Builder Plan?

Just simply select our Comprehensive Family NCD Builder Plan during purchase and add your family members as named drivers.
