Sss pensioner po ako, pwede po ba ako magfile ng disability?
Hi, Larry!
No, you cannot file for disability benefits as an SSS pensioner. According to SSS rules, when a member on disability pension reaches retirement age, their disability pension stops and switches to retirement pension. You can only receive one type of pension at a time.
Hi! Na-compromise po ang SSS ko kasi nakagawa ako ng 2 accounts. Nabura na ang bagong account at nakorek na ang ibang details pero di pa din po ako makagawa ng online acct. NAgamit na daw ang email add ko. Nabura na sya eh.And I was asked for my contact number sa application. Wala naman nakalagay sa E4 ko kung ano yung number na nakaregister. I applied wayback at di ko na po alam ang registered number sa SSS . Now, I’m calling 1455 and sent messages to 2600. Unresponsive naman, po.
Hi, Maylene!
Since your SSS account was compromised (due to duplicate accounts) and you can’t access your registered contact details (both email and phone number), you’ll need to visit any SSS branch personally to resolve this issue.
