Receiving SSS Pension

To receive your SSS pension, you must have a savings account where the payments can be deposited. The SSS offers two payment options:

1. Lifetime Monthly Pension: This option provides a monthly pension payment for life, starting once you apply for the benefits and reach the age of 60. If you return to work before turning 65, the payments will be temporarily halted.
2. Lump Sum Payment: You can choose to receive the first 18 months of pension as a lump sum. This amount will be discounted at the prevailing SSS rates. After the lump sum period, the regular monthly pension payments will resume from the 19th month onwards.

The lump sum is calculated based on the total contributions from both the employer and the employee. After the initial 18-month period, the monthly pension will be deposited according to the schedule.

The SSS pension program offers crucial financial support to retirees in the Philippines. By knowing the payment schedule and knowing how to manage your pension, you can ensure that you receive your benefits smoothly.
