Suwon Accepts Enrollment in '2025 Suwon Citizens Safety Insurance'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Special City announced on the 2nd that it has enrolled in the '2025 Suwon Citizens Safety Insurance,' which provides insurance payments to Suwon residents who experience unexpected disasters or safety accidents. Suwon residents are automatically enrolled in the insurance.

The coverage area for injury medical expenses under the Suwon Citizens Safety Insurance is nationwide. When Suwon residents (including registered foreign residents and permanent Korean residents abroad) receive treatment for injury accidents, bicycle/electric wheelchair/personal mobility device accidents (including shared PM) within the country, their out-of-pocket medical expenses (insurance covered items) are supported.

If Suwon residents aged 15 and older die from injury accidents within the country, funeral expenses of up to 20 million won are provided. If children under 13 experience traffic accidents while walking, up to 500,000 won in injury treatment costs are paid.

The city has enrolled in citizens safety insurance every year since 2019, allowing all residents with household registration in Suwon to receive insurance benefits free of charge. In 2024, the coverage area was expanded nationwide, allowing more residents to benefit from the insurance.

Insurance claims can be filed within three years from the accident date for treatments received within one year from the date of the accident. Contact the Suwon Citizens Safety Insurance Compensation Center (02-2135-9453), prepare necessary documents, and file the claim via fax or email. Coverage can be received concurrently with personal insurance.
