Medical Assistance/Wage Compensation during Illness (HBOCWWB) gives registered construction workers in Haryana money support when they fall ill or meet with an accident. If you are admitted to a government or a government-approved private hospital for treatment lasting between 4 and 30 days, you can get wage compensation based on the prevailing minimum wages in the state.
Medical Assistance/Wage Compensation during Illness (HBOCWWB) - Introduction
The Haryana Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (HBOCWWB), working under the Labour Department of Haryana, runs this scheme for hard-working labourers. When a registered construction worker gets sick or suffers an accident and needs hospital care, the daily income stops. This scheme helps cover that lost income for a minimum of 4 days and up to a maximum of 30 days of hospital stay.
The scheme is still open for eligible workers in Haryana. Registration and benefit applications continue through the official board portal and the Antyodaya-SARAL service portal. Workers who meet the membership and hospital admission conditions can claim this cash support once in a year.
