Here’s a guide on how much is the SSS Unemployment Benefit that a member of the Social Security System may get.
In the Philippines, one of the biggest state-run social insurance institutions is the Social Security System or more popularly called SSS. It has millions of members across the nation as well as some overseas Filipino worker (OFW) members.
Most of the members of the SSS are locally-employed individuals in the private sector. To help these members in an instance of involuntary separation from work, the state-run social insurance institution crafted the SSS Unemployment Benefit offer.
The said SSS benefit offer is open for members who have posted at least 36 monthy contributions in their accounts. It is open not only for locally-employed individuals in the private sector and the kasambahays but as well as OFWs.
How much is the SSS Unemployment Benefit amount for the members? According to the government agency, a member may get an equivalent of 50% of the average monthly salary credits (AMSC).
For example, if the AMSC of the SSS member is Php 15,000, a member who lost his/her job and qualifies for the SSS Unemployment Benefit offer may get up to Php 7,500 each month. A member may get a maximum of two (2) months Unemployment Benefit.
