Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

March 3, 2022 Dear Ms. Angelu Rai, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Mar 02, 2022 06:35:07 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for financial and hospital assistance. Ms. Rai sino po ba ang tinutukoy ninyong OFW kasi po when we checked your name at the OWWA Verification System there is no record of your OWWA membership. Ang hospital expenses po ay sagot ng PhilHealth kung ang OFW ay nagbabayad ng PhilHealth membership. Ang dependents ng OFW na may active PhilHealth membership ay covered din ng hospitalization. And OWWA po ay may MedPlus na programa para sa mga OFWs na active ang membership sa OWWA at PhilHealth. Eto ay para lamang sa OWWA Member OFW at hindi kasama ang mge dependents. Mayroon din po ang OWWA na Welfare Assistance Program for Medical Assistance but this is exclusive for OWWA Members with an active status. Sa karagdagan kaalaman magtungo sa OWWA website: www.owwa.gov.ph If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac at email: [email protected]. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response and should be made within FIFTEEN (15) calendar days from the date you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within THIRTY (30) calendar days from the date we received your review request. However, if you are still not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011). Thank you. Respectfully, ATTY. EDELYN D. CLAUSTRO Director IV- Administrative and Financial Management Office OWWA-FOI Decision Maker
