SSS offers new loan penalty condonation program

By Nidz Godino

“We want to collect  past-due loans from our members…however, we also recognize pandemic has greatly affected livelihood of many of them…at this point, they might already be able to pay their loan obligations,” Social Security System (SSS) president and chief executive officer Michael Regino said in an emailed statement announced  new loan penalty condonation program for qualified members, citing  impact of COVID-19 pandemic.

Under the program,  SSS will combine principal and interest of past-due short-term member loans into one consolidated loan, with all unpaid penalties consolidated and condoned once loan is fully paid.

Members can choose an installment scheme where they will be required to pay at least 10% of  consolidated loan within 30 calendar days after  approval notice.

They will be given up to 60 months to pay  remaining balance, depending on the amount.

 “We designed this consolidated program to help them settle their loan obligations by condoning  penalties and offering flexible payment terms,” he stressed.

Members eligible for the program are those with  past-due short-term loan, have not been granted any final benefit such as permanent total disability.

They must also have an active account on the agency’s My.SSS platform, and should not have any record of fraud.

For members who do not meet  payment terms, SSS will deduct  outstanding balance of  consolidated loan from  short-term benefits and final benefits.

The outstanding balance from  consolidated loan can also be deducted from  death benefit of  members’ beneficiaries, or deduct it from actual final benefit claims.

SSS is mandated to promote social justice and provide protection to members and families against  hazards of disability, sickness, maternity, old age, death, and other contingencies resulting in loss of income or financial burden.
