PETALING JAYA: In just five years, from 2018 to 2022, the Social Security Organisation (Socso) detected 683 cases of fraudulent claims amounting to RM43mil.
In some cases, people even try using a dead person’s number to make claims, said Socso chief executive Datuk Seri Dr Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed.
The organisation’s Anti-Fraud System has accumulated millions of data bytes since its inception in 2017. For example, if an insured person earns RM5,000 a month, his or her contribution under the scheme is RM49.50 every month, based on the employees’ contribution rate of roughly 1% of their monthly salary.
“This is the kind of long-term liability we have to commit to under Act 4. That is why we need to monitor fraudulent claims closely,” he said, referring to the Employees’ Social Security Act 1969.
