9 x (BMP + Php1,000.00 additional benefit) 24 months
12 x (BMP + Php1,000.00 additional benefit)

 

Interest Rate

The loan shall incur an interest rate of 10% per annum until fully paid, computed on a diminishing principal balance, which shall become part of the monthly amortization.

 

Loan Proceeds and Processing Time

The loan proceeds shall be released through any of the following:

  1. Valid SSS UMID Card enrolled as ATM Card
  2. Valid UBP Quick Card
  3. Valid Pension Savings Account in SSS-accredited PESONet participating banks (upon implementation of PESONet Disbursement Facility)

 

The loan proceeds shall be credited to pensioner-borrowers account in five (5) working days.

 

Insurance

All pensioner-borrowers are covered by Credit Life Insurance (CLI), which ensures that the outstanding loan balance is fully paid in case of the untimely demise of the pensioner-borrower.

The 1% service fee usually charged by the SSS is now waived and shall be used instead to subsidize the pensioner-borrower’s CLI premium.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

  1. In case the monthly pension of the retiree pensioner is cancelled due to re-employment or resumption of self-employment under Section 12-B (c) of the Social Security Act of 2018, the retiree pensioner’s outstanding pension loan balance shall be converted into a regular salary loan. Hence, the existing policies and rules on salary loan shall apply. Moreover, the retiree pensioner shall have the option to pay the outstanding balance in full.
  2. In case the monthly pension of the pension-borrower is suspended due to non-compliance with the Annual Confirmation of Pensioners (ACOP), the outstanding balance of the pension loan shall be deducted upon resumption of the pension-borrower’s monthly pension, without any penalty charge.

A pensioner-borrower with a pending request for re-adjudication or adjustment of pension shall not be granted a pension loan. On the other hand, request for re-adjudication or adjustment of pensioner-borrower’s benefit shall be allowed only after the full payment of the availed pension loan.
