According to SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Emmanuel Dooc, the additional P1,000 benefit for March was released yesterday, totalling P2.1 billion disbursed to partner banks.
“Our pensioners may withdraw the March differential of the P1,000 additional pension from their respective banks,” he said. “Several of our partner banks have already credited the amount even earlier than the scheduled date.”
Around P7.82 million will be delivered via check through the Postal Service Office. According to SSS Office Services Department, the checks were mailed to the Quezon City Central Office on Mar 9 and 10.
“Starting April, all regular pensioners will receive the updated amount of their pension,” Dooc said. “This means that their regular monthly pension will automatically increase by P1,000.”/WDJ
