I’ll be a little busy tonight. Mostly coz I’m organizing all my papers about my Social Security System (Philippines) membership. Yes, I have my SSS and I’ve decided to continue on paying my contribution as a voluntary member.
Why? I’m thinking ahead. I know its not much but having some sort of security, a pension to look forward to when I reach the age of 60, medical, disability,calamity, and death benefits and a whole lot of other benefits. You can also avail of loans like business, housing and calamity loans..
When I was working I was a member and had regular contributions. You only need to have at least 120 months of contribution to be eligible for those benefits. But when I stopped working, I was just too negligent to continue but now I’ve decided to pick up where I left off. I was thinking it will be hard to do now that I’m living abroad, but thankfully banking facilities make it much easier. Now I could just pay monthly through BancNet’s Online Banking Facility.
It’s just another form of saving and I’m glad I’m making it..
Are you an OFW or you simply want to become an SSS member? Just checkout their website for more info.
