The Insurer's Manual issued by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) contains detailed technical guidelines to assist in processing work injury compensation (WIC) claims, which are specific to designated WIC insurers and not relevant to members of the public. Information that employers and claimants require to understand their responsibilities and eligibility with respect to work injury compensation claims is already available on MOM's website.
