What should the family do if an MDW's employer passes away?

The passing of a loved one is a difficult time for the family. MOM recognises that time is needed to settle the immediate issues.

After that, the family of the employer has to do one of the following:

• Cancel the Work Permit and send the helper home.
• Transfer the helper to another employer or a family member.

Cancel Work Permit and send her home

To cancel the helper's Work Permit:

1. Ensure that all issues arising from the employment, including outstanding wages, have been settled with the helper.
2. After all issues are settled, family members can either:
   • Appoint an employment agency to help cancel the Work Permit online.
   • Request to cancel the work permit. You will need to upload a copy of the employer's death certificate.

Transfer to another employer or a family member

The new employer needs to:

1. Submit an online Work Permit application.
2. Buy a new insurance package.

New employers can find out more about the steps to transfer the helper. For the transfer request, we will not require consent from the current employer.
