The Social Security System (SSS) has announced a 10% increase in retirement and disability pension for all pensioners nationwide.
The increase will start this September 2025 and will be directly deposited into the pensioners' bank accounts. This means there is no need to go to branches to claim.
According to SSS President and CEO Robert Joseph de Claro, the total number of pensioners who will benefit from the additional benefits is ₱4 million.
The 10% increase will last for three years, from 2025 to 2027. Its purpose is to thank and recognize the contributions of pensioners to the SSS.
With this increase, it is expected that the pension will be more helpful in the daily expenses of retirees and persons with disabilities.
