This historic step marks the first implementation of Article 60 of the Unified Insurance Law.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Mohammed Farid, FRA Chairman, confirmed that the resolution represents a qualitative shift in the government student insurance fund. It reinforces the role of insurance as an effective tool for protecting Egyptian families and supporting social stability.<\/p>\n<p>FRA resolution No. 331 of 2025 increases the payout for natural death or non-school-related accidents to EGP 15,000 (up from EGP 10,000), regardless of the time or location of the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Farid emphasized that the primary objective is to safeguard students&#8217; educational journeys, ensuring that medical emergencies do not become financial barriers or burdens for Egyptian families.<\/p>\n<p>The Fund serves as a comprehensive safety net, covering natural and accidental death, total or partial disability, and essential surgical and medical treatments.<\/p>\n<p>Compensation for permanent partial disability is calculated as a percentage of the new EGP 30,000 ceiling, based on assessments by a specialized medical committee appointed by the Fund\u2019s Board.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the Fund will provide social and medical aid of EGP 2500 for students with chronic illnesses, claimable up to three times during their enrollment.<\/p>\n<p>Fund\u2019s Chairman is empowered to approve medical assistance for uninsured or partially insured surgeries, capped at the maximum benefit of EGP 30,000.<\/p>\n<p>Specialized support for students with disabilities includes a one-time medical grant of EGP 1750 and a prosthetic\/assistive device allowance of up to EGP 30,000 for equipment not covered by national health insurance.<\/p>\n<p>These enhanced benefits are funded by a nominal annual subscription of EGP 10.60 (collected via school fees) and will take effect starting 2025-2026 academic year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":94,"featured_media":20943112,"parent":0,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[142,144],"tags":[],"fra_news_taxonomy":[2137,2138],"news_paper_taxonomy":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fra_news\/21036481"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fra_news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fra_news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/94"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20943112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21036481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21036481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21036481"},{"taxonomy":"fra_news_taxonomy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fra_news_taxonomy?post=21036481"},{"taxonomy":"news_paper_taxonomy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_paper_taxonomy?post=21036481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
