The Social Security Organisation (Socso) paid out a total of RM94 million in the form of Temporary Disability Benefits to contributors last year, said Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Maznah Mazlan Tuesday.
She said the amount was a 10 per cent increase from the previous year which stood at RM85.213 million.
She said payments under the Permanent Disability Benefits last year rose by 14 per cent from RM187.892 million to RM214.624 million.
Speaking to reporters after visiting the Socso office here, she said the increase in payment of benefits was due to the rise in the number of accidents, especially road accidents.
