Marcos launches ‘historic’ pension reform program
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. launched the 2025 SSS Pension Reform Program on September 10, the first multi-year pension increase in the Social Security System's (SSS) history.
The program, implemented starting September 1, 2025, provides an annual pension increase from 2025 to 2027 for all SSS pensioners.
Retirement and disability pensioners will receive a 10 percent annual increase, while death/survivor pensioners will get a 5 percent annual increase.
Dependents will also receive higher benefits under the program.
The reforms aim to improve the lives of Filipino pensioners and will not require additional contributions.
Over 3.8 million pensioners are set to benefit, with an estimated PHP 93 billion disbursed over three years to help cover essential needs and boost the economy.
