Article 1(2) of the Convention. Payment of employment injury benefits in case of residence abroad. The Committee notes that, in response to its previous direct request concerning the payment of benefits in case of residence abroad, the Government indicates that payment to insured persons or their dependents is not terminated merely due to the fact that they reside abroad; the only condition in this situation is the existence of a bank account to which the social insurance benefits could be transferred. The Committee notes that, in accordance with section 96 of the Regulation on social insurance benefits related to accidents at work of 2004, the dependents of a deceased worker who permanently move their residence to another State receive the benefits according to the procedures laid down in international treaties or European Union (EU) legal acts; non-EU nationals must submit documents according to a procedure prescribed by regulations. Section 107 of the same Regulations, while it establishes the procedure for the payment of employment injury benefits to the victims by bank transfer, is however silent as to the question of the payment of benefits in case of transfer of residence abroad. The Committee asks the Government to specify the legal provision authorizing payment of benefits abroad to the victims of employment injury. As regards the payments made to the dependents residing abroad, please describe the regime applicable both to EU and third-country nationals.
