Sinabi ni Social Security System (SSS) President at CEO Michael G. Regino na ang coverage ng mandatory online filing ng retirement benefit claims sa pamamagitan ng My.SSS Portal ay palalawigin sa mga self-employed na miyembro na 60 hanggang 64 taong gulang simula sa Hulyo 1, 2022.
Bukod ito sa lahat ng employee-members, voluntary members, land-based Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) members, and self-employed members na edad 65 taong gulang pataas sa oras ng pagreretiro na kinakailangang mag-file online simula Hulyo 2020.
“As early as 2015, we have made this online facility available to our members who have reached their technical retirement age of 65 years old. With the onset of the pandemic, we have continuously enhanced this online facility to provide our members with a simpler and more convenient mode of application without physically going to our branches. All they need to do is to access their My.SSS account, click Apply for Retirement Benefit under the Benefits section of the E-Services tab, fill out the required information, and submit the required supporting documents,” ayon kay Regino.
Ang mga miyembro na may mga sumusunod na espesyal na kaso sa mga claim sa benepisyo sa pagreretiro ay dapat pa ring mag-file ng manu-mano sa alinmang sangay ng SSS o foreign representative office:
- With outstanding Stock Investment Loan Program (SILP)/Privatization Loan Program/Educational Loan/Vocational Technology Loan balance;
- With dependent child/children under guardianship;
- Wherein member is incapacitated, under guardianship, or confined in an applicable institution such as penitentiary, correctional institution, or rehabilitation center;
- With Application of Portability Law or Bilateral Social Security Agreements;
- With adjustment or for re-adjudication of claim; and
- With the unclaimed benefit of a deceased member.
Ang benepisyo sa pagreretiro ay isang cash benefit na ipinagkaloob sa isang miyembro na hindi na makakapag trabaho dahil sa katandaan at umabot na sa itinakdang edad ng pagreretiro. Ito ay maaaring sa anyo ng buwanang pension para sa mga nagbayad ng hindi bababa sa 120 buwanang kontribusyon bago ang semestre ng pagreretiro o isang lump sum para sa mga nagbayad ng mas mababa sa 120 na kontribusyon.
