The Re-Disbursement of Benefit Claims program by the Social Security System (SSS) is a corrective measure for members who experienced rejected benefit or loan claims due to inaccurate disbursement account details. Targeted at SS members facing such specific issues, this program streamlines the process of updating bank information through the My.SSS portal, under the Benefit Re-Disbursement section.
Members can expect clear guidance on updating their account details and a promise of benefits being re-credited within five banking days after correction. Should any hiccups occur, the agency has set up a responsive support system via bank coordination or DBP email assistance, ensuring peace of mind and continuity of benefits.
Understanding the Re-Disbursement of Benefit Claims with SSS
The Social Security System allows members to rectify disbursement errors through Re-Disbursement of Benefit Claims. If your approved loan or benefit was rejected due to incorrect account details, simply log in to My.SSS, navigate to Benefit Re-Disbursement under E-Services, update your bank details, confirm the re-crediting account, and submit the request. You’ll receive an email notification, and the benefit should be deposited within five banking days. If not, contact your bank or DBP at remittancesupport@dbp.ph for further assistance.
Legal Basis
The Philippines’ Social Security Act empowers the agency to provide timely and accurate benefits to its members. This includes the re-disbursement process, which ensures members receive their rightful benefits even after initial disbursement issues.
Benefits to Look Forward To
These benefits serve as a financial safety net, providing essential support when you need it most.
Common Reasons why Initial Disbursements Fail
- Incorrect account details: Providing invalid or inactive bank account details or mobile numbers can lead to non-crediting of benefit proceeds.
- Closed, dormant, or frozen accounts: Accounts that are not active or have been closed by the bank will not receive funds.
- Dollar accounts: Disbursements must be made to a Peso account, not a foreign currency account.
- Joint (and/or) accounts: The record must be solely under the member’s name, not shared with another person.
- Time-deposit accounts: These types of accounts typically cannot receive direct deposits.
- Invalid mobile number: For e-wallets like Paymaya/Gcash, the mobile number must be correct and active.
- Account name mismatch: The name on the bank records must match the registered name with SSS.
- Different disbursing bank: The bank selected during disbursement registration must match the actual bank account.
- Prepaid accounts: These may not be eligible for direct deposit of funds.
- Accounts with restrictions: Any account that has limitations on deposits or withdrawals.
- Duplicate account/mobile numbers: Each disbursement account must be unique to the member.
- Errors in enrolled disbursement account details: Mistakes in the record information can delay the re-crediting of benefits up to 30 days.
