List of SSS Death Benefit Requirements for Beneficiaries of Deceased Members
SSS DEATH BENEFIT REQUIREMENTS – Here are the documents that the beneficiaries of a deceased SSS member must submit to file a claim.
One of the giants in the Philippines in terms of social insurance is the SSS or the Social Security System. It has a wide array of benefits and loan offers for its members. Thus, a lot of companies and businesses in the private sector mandate an SSS membership among their employees to widen the resources of their workers.
The SSS loans and benefits were crafted to help the members in times of unemployment, sickness, disability, calamity, maternity, and even death. If an SSS member dies, his/her family may file for an SSS Death Benefit claim.
Under the SSS Death Benefit offer, the beneficiaries of a deceased member who has posted at least 36 monthly contributions are eligible for a pension. Otherwise, the beneficiaries may claim a lump sum which is a one-time payment.
In the case of the SSS Death Benefit pension, the legal spouse will remain as a beneficiary of the pension until he/she remarries. The dependent children will also receive a pension until they are beyond 21 years old, married, or working already.
