SSS releases 13
The Social Security System (SSS) has released over P18.8 billion for the 13th month pension of 3.66 million pensioners.
The pension fund was disbursed in two tranches: P10.5 billion on December 1 for 2.13 million pensioners, and P8.3 billion on December 4 for 1.53 million pensioners.
SSS President and CEO Robert Joseph de Claro stated that this benefit aims to provide joy and relief to pensioners and their families during the Christmas season.
This year's 13th month pension is higher due to the Pension Reform Program implemented in September 2025.
The reform program resulted in a 10% increase for retirement and disability pensioners, and a 5% increase for survivorship pensioners.
