Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, many employees have lost their lives. In cases where both the parents have died due to COVID infection, it becomes difficult for their young children/dependants to obtain the appropriate statutory benefits they are entitled to.
In order to provide timely support to the children who lost both the parents due to COVID 19, the EPFO has requested (through email circulation) all the employers to submit the details of their employees in a prescribed format, inform the dependants of the deceased employees about their entitled benefits and assist them in claiming it.
