GSIS lifts cap on survivorship pension
The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) has lifted the cap on survivorship pensions, allowing surviving spouses to receive full benefits.
This policy shift aligns with Republic Act 8291, ensuring surviving spouses receive their rightful entitlements.
Previously, survivorship pensions were capped at 50% of an undersecretary's salary, preventing many from receiving full benefits.
With the cap removed, survivorship pensions will now be 50% of the deceased member's pension without any ceiling.
All affected pensioners will have their pensions automatically recomputed and adjusted, and future pensioners will receive the full benefit.
GSIS Officer-in-Charge President and General Manager Juliet Bautista affirmed that this move upholds the duty of providing fair and adequate benefits.
