Designated insurers must share policy and claims data with MOM via EmPOWER-WIC available from 1 September 2020.
WIC Designation fee
Upon approval, work injury compensation (WIC) designated insurers must pay an annual designation fee to use MOM’s WIC data exchange platform. If you are a WIC designated insurer for employers and platform operators (PO), you need to pay two sets of designation fees. The designation fee payable is based on your gross WIC premiums earned in the previous year, as declared to MOM.
| Annual gross WIC premium |
Designation fee |
| > $10 million |
$36,000 |
| <= $10 million |
$21,000 |
You will receive the payment instructions by email when the annual designation fee is due. You need to pay within the given timeline. Failure to paying the designation fee will affect your designation.
One-time link fee for optional setup
To link your system to the data exchange platform, you can use:
- Secured File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).
OR
- Application Programming Interface (API) for faster data sharing.
| Connection method |
Link fee |
| SFTP |
$3,700 |
| API |
$3,700 |
| Both SFTP and API |
$7,400 |
The one-time link fee remains valid for three months from your most recent payment. To avoid incurring this fee again, ensure you complete your SFTP or API setup within this three-month period.
You can email mom_wic_insurance@mom.gov.sg if you wish to link your system to MOM’s data exchange platform for data-sharing.
