FAQ 63Operator answerPosted Oct 11, 2026
I work as a day laborer. Is it covered by health insurance?
Machine-translated from Korean. Check numbers and agency names against the original.
Daily workers with less than one month of employment are not eligible for workplace enrollment.
For daily workers, the same criteria are considered for employment periods of at least one month and for working at least eight days per month.
If you have worked at multiple sites under the same employer, you should check if you can combine them.
For self-enrollment and the date you obtained your eligibility, please contact the National Health Insurance Service at 1577-1000.
