Carmona, Cavite – The Social Security System (SSS) Carmona branch
honored its 200 retirement pensioners during the nationwide conduct of Annual
Pensioners’ Day.
“This activity is our way of thanking all retirement pensioners for their significant contribution
to the pension fund during their productive years. They deserve to relax and enjoy while learning
something new from SSS and co-participants,” SSS Luzon South 1 Acting Vice President Edwin Igharas said.
Pensioners participated in various games prepared by SSS and received raffle prices. To
support their health and wellness, SSS led a
Zumba session and distributed medicines to all
participants.
SSS also discussed the Pension Loan
Program (PLP) where retirement pensioners
can borrow up to P 200,000.00 based on the
er to qualify, he or she must have a My.SSS account; 85 years old
or younger in the last month of the loan term; there is no deduction from the monthly pension or existing advance pension under
the SSS Calamity Loan Assistance Package and the status of his
monthly pension is “Active”
Even first-time PLP loan borrowers can now apply online. However,
some pensioners have difficulty in navigating gadgets including our SSS Website
and portal. As we are transitioning to digitalization, rest assured that SSS will continue to guide our retirement pensioners in transacting online through our E-Centers located in SSS branches. We are also in partnership with other barangays
for the establishment of SSS E-Centers in barangay halls so that digital services
are within reach even by members and pensioners from far flung communities,”
Igharas concluded. PR
