Government benefits and financial programs

What you can actually claim from SSS, GSIS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and other Philippine government programs, beyond the deductions on your payslip, and how to file a claim when you need one.

SSS benefits beyond retirement: sickness, maternity, disability, and funeral

Most people think of SSS as a retirement fund you can't touch for decades, or just another line item shrinking their payslip. In reality, SSS pays out for several life events that can happen at any age, not only when you finally retire. What you can eventually claim depends on the contributions you've posted before the event happens, which is exactly why staying current on contributions matters even when retirement feels far away.
