Sa wakas, nagbunga na rin ang ilang ulit na apela ng Senior Citizens Party-list at ng buong sektor ng mga retirees sa SSS!
(See attached letters previously sent to the SSS by Rep. Ordanes)
At long last, the Social Security System is implementing new increases in its pension rates and benefits for retirees.
I commend the SSS, including their actuarial math wizards, because they went above and beyond expectations in ways that were fair and equitable to the retirees. We appreciate your hard work.
The new pension rates are fair and equitable because they are computed by factoring in the credited years of service and salary increases while still working, instead of a flat rate increase across the board.
πΈ The table illustrates the estimated pension increases for sample cases over the three-year implementation period.
The more years worked and the higher your salary during those years worked, the higher the pension increases.
SSS is circumspect and facts-based with this new round of increases.
They are also fiscally-responsible by spreading the financial burden over three years.
With the new pension rates, my belief and hope in the SSS is strengthened.
I also laud the SSS for gradually extending their voluntary membership and benefits coverage to contract of service and job order personnel in government. These government personnel do not have GSIS, so SSS voluntary membership gives them security and qualified access to loans they need for essentials.
I am more hopeful now that someday in the future, the mandate of the SSS can include the operation and management of the senior citizen's pension. (END)
