evidence: A viral message claiming that insurance benefits for COVID-19 deaths can be claimed under two of the PM's Suraksha Yojana Schemes, Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) is misleading. BOOM found that only PMJJBY covers COVID-19 deaths albeit with certain caveats. The scheme is only applicable to people between the ages of 18-55 who have voluntarily signed up for the scheme that was launched in 2015. [...] BOOM contacted the PMJJBY and PMSBY national helplines to clarify whether COVID-19 deaths are covered under both the schemes. Compensation for COVID-19 deaths can be claimed under PMJJBY but only after a certain set of conditions are met with while the PMSBY does not cover COVID-19 deaths.
