The purpose of this article is to inform the public about this policy of the Social Security System (SSS), the government-owned insurance company for those employed in the private sector.

I just learned about this a few months ago when my company announced a workforce reduction program. Among the sad discussions is about this policy of SSS regarding loans in cases of resignation or retrenchment. Section G-2 of the SSS Loan Terms and Conditions (at the back of the loan application form) explicitly says the following:
"The employer shall deduct the total balance of the loan from any benefit/s due to the employee and shall remit the same in full to SSS, in case the member-borrower is separated voluntarily (e.g., retirement or resignation) or involuntarily (e.g., termination of employment or cessation of operations of the company)."
In other words, you will be required to pay the rest of your loan (including the interest) when you change employer or employment status. If your last pay and benefits won't suffice, your next employer will require you to pay the rest. I'm taking about up to ~33,000 Pesos plus 10% interest per year. That can be huge amount for those trying to make the ends meet.
So there you go, if you're thinking of resigning or if you think you will lose your job anytime soon, consider the policy above and see if it will be better to postpone the loan.

Hi just want to check if someone can answer this question. If your loan has already been approved for a week already and the status is on check generated but then due to the stressful work he is having right now he suddenly decide to resign. Will the employer hold the loan?
ReplyDeleteI hope someone can answer this question
DeleteIt is likely so or it will be deducted to your last pay if you suddenly resign after receiving the check.
DeleteMgndang araw po. Tanong q lng po kapg ang employee po ba ay magreresign and may mga loan siya sa SSS at PAGIBIG. Responsible po ba nya na i-gather ang statement of loan status nya sa mga agency na un then submit kay employer? Sabi po kc ng employer ay that is the only time they will compute his/her separation pay. C employer po kc ay inutusan c employee na kunin ang loan status nya at isubmit sa kanila bago cla kumilos. Tama po ba un na c employee na about to resign ang magaasikaso?
ReplyDeleteKindly advice and enligthen me regarding this po. Thank you po in advance.
Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan. And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. Abc ya free games || y8 games online ||friv free games
