What this result means

This checklist organizes official starting points specifically for non-professional foreign workers whose employment route is covered by EPS (E-9 / H-2). It focuses on statutory Departure Guarantee Insurance (출국만기보험), Return Cost Insurance, final wage reconciliation, and National Pension lump-sum refund claims without predicting claim approvals or payment timing.

How to use it

Confirm first that EPS insurance guidance applies to your employment record.
Get actual insurance balances and claim instructions from the official EPS/insurer channel.
Avoid counting Departure Guarantee Insurance again when it is already included in the severance total you enter elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

Is Departure Guarantee Insurance extra money on top of severance?

Do not assume that. It is connected to severance funding. Compare the insurance quote with the total severance calculation and verify whether any difference remains.

Does every foreign worker have EPS insurance?

No. The employment route, employer, insurance enrollment, and record must be confirmed through official channels.

Can this checklist submit an insurance claim?

No. It stores checklist state only in the current page and links to official starting points.
