POEA Phase 1 Evaluation Proof of insurance

POEA requires direct hire applicants to present a proof of insurance coverage. This is stipulated in the Direct hire evaluation requirements checklist from POEA. The exact requirement is:

"Proof of certificate of insurance coverage covering at least the benefits provided under Section 37-A of RA 8042 as amended."

RA 8042

"RA 8042" refers to Republic Act 8042: Migrant Workers act of 2015. "Section 37" refers to the The Congressional Migrant Workers Scholarship Fund. Excerpt below:

The initial seed fund of two hundred million pesos (P200,000,000.00) shall be constituted from the following sources:

... (a) Fifty million pesos (P50,000,000.00) from the unexpected Countrywide Development Fund for 1995 in equal sharing by all members of Congress;

I'm not sure what this is for.

TODO: I'm still inquiring about this.
