Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2016, published 106th ILC session (2017)

Article 1(2) of the Convention. Payment of benefits abroad. In its previous comments, the Committee requested information on the arrangements governing the payment of accident compensation benefits in the event of residence abroad with regard to nationals of countries which have ratified Convention No. 19 but have not concluded a bilateral social security agreement with UK/Guernsey. The Government replies that, with the exception of industrial injuries disablement benefits, there are currently no arrangements in place that enable the payment of accident compensation benefits in case of residence abroad under the Social Insurance (Guernsey) Law, 1978. The Committee asks the Government to explain how payment of industrial injuries disablement benefits abroad operates in practice, in case the victim of an industrial accident or his or her dependants reside abroad. Please also provide, as required by Part V of the report form, statistics, if any, on the amount of accident compensation benefits paid to persons residing abroad, indicating the country of destination.

Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Article 1(2) of the Convention. Payment of benefits abroad. The Committee notes that the Government’s report, received in September 2011, refers to a number of bilateral social security agreements. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report the arrangements governing the payment of accident compensation benefits in the event of residence abroad with regard to nationals of countries which have ratified Convention No. 19 but have not concluded a bilateral social security agreement with Guernsey. Please also provide, as required by Part V of the report form, information, including statistics, on the manner in which effect is given to the Convention in practice, specifying, for instance, the number, nationality and occupational distribution of foreign workers employed in Guernsey, the number and nature of accidents involving foreign workers, and the amount of accident compensation benefits paid to persons residing abroad, indicating the country of destination.
