OWWA fees can be made either (1) by group payment by the employer at the worksite, or (2) through individual payment at FWDC or at any point of collection by OWWA-designated Collecting Officers in assigned areas/posts, or by other officers where no Collecting Officer is present.
The Collecting Officer issues an Official Receipt and issues an ID card together with the Certificate of Cover (insurance coverage), then prepares and transmits reports of collection (segregating ORs and information sheets) to the Home Office.
The OCW fills up the Information Sheet, submits it to the Collecting Officer, pays the corresponding fees, and the Collecting Officer issues an Official Receipt and an ID card together with the Certificate of Cover (insurance coverage).
Upon payment, the worker is issued an OWWA Identification Card and the Certificate of Cover (insurance coverage). The ID card must be presented to avail of any OWWA services.
