Pangalawang Bugso ng SSS Pension Hike na P1000 Kada Buwan, Suportado sa Kamara

Good news ito para sa ating mga kababayan na matagal na itong hinihintay! Ayun sa balitang inilabas ng Manila Times, suportado na ng House Panel sa Kamara ang pangalawang bugso ng P1,000 pension para sa mga pensyonadong miyembro ng SSS.
Manila Times reported
"The House Committee on Government Enterprises and Privatization has adopted resolutions that call for the implementation of the second tranche of the approved Social Security System (SSS) pension increase. The adopted three House Joint Resolutions (HJRs) aim to increase the monthly SSS pension by another P1,000 to boost financial assistance to Filipino retirees in line with HJR 10 approved during the 17th Congress."

The report continued:
"HJR 10 increases the monthly pension by P2,000 under the Social Security Act of 1997. The first tranche of the pension hike amounting to P1,000 has been implemented since January 2017. The initial hike brought the minimum monthly pension from P2,200 to P3,400.
The HJRs seek to implement the second tranche of pension hike effective from January 2020.
SSS has 2.4 million pensioners as of September 2018. As of 2017, there were 36.1 million SSS members.
Adopted were HJR 1, authored by Bayan Muna Representatives Carlos Isagani Zarate, Ferdinand Gaite and Eufemia Cullamat, ACT Teachers party-list Rep. France Castro, Gabriela party-list Rep. Arlene Brosas, and Kabataan party-list Rep. Sarah Elago; HJR 2 by Isabela First District Rep. Antonio “Tonypet” Albano; and HJR 6 by Baguio City Rep. Mark Go."

According to one commenter:
"This was the same SSS Bill approved by Congress in 2016 but vetoed by former President Benigno Simeon Aquino during the last few months of his presidency. Duterte made a compromise 1000 pesos increase instead of the proposed 2000 after he assumed office to partially mollify the angered SSS pensioners."

SSS Retirement: Am I Qualified For Pension If There's A Gap On My Contributions?

Whether we like it or not, time will come when we will reach the retirement age of 60 or 65. In these times, some of us are no longer capable of making money for our own needs such as food and medicine. Lucky for some, they receive support from their children and other family members.

Lucky for some out there that receive support from their children and other family members. Growing old or retiring without a pension is hard. This is very common to self-employed individuals, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and other private employes that only rely on their salaries back then. Sometimes, they are forced to work despite old age to meet the needs. But your worries about your retirement can be lessened if you are a member of Social Security System (SSS) where you can receive your monthly pension. For private employees, SSS has become mandatory in the Philippines while it is voluntary for OFWs and self-employed. But what will happen in an SSS membership if there is a gap in member's contribution? Will he still receive a pension?
