Mga Dapat Tandaan Kung Ikaw ay Isang SSS Voluntary Member

Kung ikaw ay isang SSS Voluntary Member, ito ang ilan sa mga bagay na dapat mong tandaan. Nilikom namin ang ilan sa mga madalas na katanungan na may kinalaman sa SSS Voluntary Membership.

1. Maaari ko bang ituloy ang paghuhulog ko sa SSS kung ako ay nahinto na sa pagtatrabaho?

Upon separation from employment, your employer’s obligation to pay your SSS contributions ceases at the end of the month of separation. However you shall still be credited with all the contributions paid on your behalf and remain entitled to SSS benefits and privileges, as long as you meet the necessary qualifying conditions.

You may opt to continue paying the total contributions as a voluntary member to maintain your right to full benefits. In case of re-employment with the private sector, you can stop paying as a voluntary member and resume payment of contributions as an employee-member through your employer.

In case of re-employment with the public sector wherein you will be covered by the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), you may opt to continue paying your SSS contributions as a voluntary member so that you can enjoy social security benefits under both institutions.

Sa madaling salita, maaring ituloy mo ang paghuhulog bilang isang SSS Voluntary Member. Hindi mo na kailangang pang magrehistro ulit ng bagong SS Number.

7. Kailan ako maaaring makapag-loan sa SSS?

Dapat ay may tatlumpu’t anim (36) na buwan ka nang may contribution para maaari ka nang makapag-loan at dapat ay active ang bayad sa huling anim na buwan.

Kung nais mo naman na makapag-pension, dapat ay minimum na 120 months na contributions o mahigit sampung (10) taon. Kung kaya niyo pong maghulog ng mas maraming taon at mas malaki sa huling limang taon bago kayo mag 60, mas maganda para mas malaki ang magiging pension.

Apat (4) na beses kang maaaring mag-avail ng maternity benefit. Mahalagang magsumite ng maternity notification sa SSS kapag nalaman mong buntis ka. Subalit kailangang nakapaghulog ka ng tatlong (3) buwan sa loob ng 12 buwan bago ang semester ng iyong panganganak.
