SSS pensioners to receive 13th month pension

The Social Security System (SSS) will release P6 billion for the 13th month pensions of nearly 1.9 million pensioners in December, as part of its annual year-end tradition that began in 1988.

The 13th month pension of retirees and survivor pensioners is equal to the amount of their regular monthly pensions, while it excludes the carer’s allowance for disability pensioners.

Children receiving dependent’s pensions are also entitled to the 13th month pension.

SSS members or their beneficiaries can withdraw their December and 13th month pensions on a schedule based on the members’ contingency date for retirement, disability or death.

Based on current SSS records, the average basic monthly pension amounts to P3,157.

Maglalabas ng P6 bilyong piso ang Social Security System (SSS) para sa 13th month pension ng halos 1.9 milyong pensioners nito ngayong Disyembre bilang bahagi ng taunang tradisyon na nagsimula noong 1998.

Katumbas ng isang buwan na pensyon ang 13th month pension ng mga retirado at survivor pensioners, ngunit hindi kabilang sa 13th month pension ang carer’s allowance para sa mga disability pensioner.

Maging ang mga bata na tumatanggap ng dependent’s pension ay tatanggap ng 13th month pension.

Sinabi ng SSS na simula ngayong Disyembre ay makukuha na ng mga pensioner sa ATM ang kanilang 13th month pension. Kasabay nila itong tatanggapin ng regular nilang pensyon sa Disyembre batay sa iskedyul ng araw ng kanilang retirement, disability o death.

Batay sa rekord ng SSS, ang average monthly pension ngayon ay umaabot sa P3,157.
