GSIS meets with ASSERT, PGEA to address members’ concerns
The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) recently held dialogues with the Action and Solidarity for the Empowerment of Teachers (ASSERT) and the Philippine Government Employees Association (PGEA) to address member and pensioner concerns.
Key issues raised by ASSERT included a review of the minimum pension, burial benefit, and Christmas cash gift.
GSIS President and General Manager Wick Veloso assured that these requests are important but emphasized the need for actuarial studies to ensure the financial stability of the Social Insurance Fund before any adjustments can be made.
The GSIS also highlighted its ongoing efforts to enhance member and pensioner services through initiatives like the GSIS Touch mobile app for online transactions and the APIR, alongside housing programs offering lease-to-own options.
A separate meeting with the Teachers' Dignity Coalition (TDC) is also planned as part of GSIS's continuous engagement with its member organizations.
Both ASSERT and PGEA expressed positive feedback on the discussions and are hopeful about the results of future consultations.
