Magandang balita sa lahat ng miyembro ng Social Security System (SSS) na nawalan ng trabaho dahil may matatanggap kayo na hanggang P20,000 cash benefit, base sa inyong monthly salary credit.
Sabi ni SSS Public Affairs and Special Events Division head Fernando Nicolas, kailangan lamang na mag presenta ang miyembro ng SSS ng certification mula sa DOLE at savings account.
“Up to 20,000 o katumbas po ito ng one month salary credit. Halimbawa, ang isang miyembro ay naghuhulog ng para sa P20,000 monthly salary credit, makakakuha po siya ng ganung halaga,” sabi niya sa interview on GMA Network’s Unang Hirit.
“Ang kailangan lang nilang i-present ay ‘yung certification galing sa DOLE na sila ay involuntarily separated. Tapos i-present nila ‘yung savings account kung saan natin ide-deposit,” dagdag pa niya.
Ayon pa sa ulat mula sa GMA:
The unemployment benefit will be received within five days, according to Nicolas. The amount will be distributed into two halves in two months.
Nicolas noted that members are still qualified to receive the unemployment aid even if they already benefited from other cash assistance programs of the government.
“Ito pong benepisyo na ito ay galing sa SSS,” he said.
According to Nicolas, the reason for the involuntary separation of the workers does not have to be related with the COVID-19 pandemic to claim the up to 20,000 aid.
For overseas Filipino workers, the certification can be requested from the Philippine Overseas Employment Office (POLO), instead of DOLE.
However, Nicolas said SSS members who are registered as self-employed are not qualified to avail the unemployment benefit.
