Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) is the branch of the government that handle OFW concerns safeguarding the welfare of their members here and abroad. To enjoy the benefits from OWWA, an OFW must be an active member, meaning, you need to renew your membership every two years. Payments are usually done at the POEA while securing an OEC or can be also done abroad at the embassy offices of their host countries. Every OFW must be an OWWA member because it is impossible for every OFW to leave the country without the approval of the POEA and securing OWWA membership is one of the pre-requisites in order for an OFW to be able to leave the country.
An active member can enjoy OWWA benefits like availing loans, TESDA scholarship, livelihood and entrepreneurship seminars and other reintegration programs for returning OFWs.
