Social Security System (SSS) President and Chief Executive Officer Emmanuel Dooc announced the additional P1,000 benefit for the month of January 2017 for SSS pensioners is now available.
“We are pleased to announce to our pensioners that the P1,000 additional benefit is now ready for withdrawal,” he said.
Dooc noted the remaining retroactive amounts will be available on subsequent Fridays, March 10 and 17.
“SSS will continue to find ways to make our pension fund viable so it can continuously serve its current and future members,” Dooc added.
The additional funding was disbursed following a directive signed by President Rodrigo Duterte earlier this year.
All retirees, survivors, and permanent disability pensioners will receive the P1,000 additional benefit./WDJ
