Firstly, keeping your information updated is very important to avoid any problem once you are claiming your benefits. To clarify, update SSS Beneficiaries timely because we can’t control what will happen next.
If by any chance that the SSS member was deceased, the beneficiary will be entitled to get the death claim of the member, or in case of permanent disability or retirement the beneficiaries will be entitled to get a monthly pension.
Two Types Of Beneficiaries:
Primary Beneficiary
-They are the priority when claiming benefits and pension. It can be the legitimate spouse, legitimated, legally adopted, or acknowledge natural children who are below 21 years old and unemployed
Secondary Beneficiary
-They can claim the benefits of the Primary beneficiary who was unable to get it. It can be legitimate parents, legitimate descendants, and illegitimate children.
