THE Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) has called on its members and pensioners to enroll now for the UMID-compliant eCard, as the GSIS Wireless Automated Processing System (G-W@PS) kiosks undergo an upgrade that would make the machines UMID-compliant.

UMID stands for Unified Multi-Purpose ID System, an offshoot of Executive Order No. 420, which requires all government agencies and government-owned and controlled corporations to streamline and harmonize their identification systems through the use of a unified multi-purpose ID.

The GSIS said holding on to the old eCard Plus will not give members and pensioners full access to the benefits of the new eCard.

Kiosk transactions include online loan applications, online viewing of GSIS records and annual renewal of active status for pensioners. The GSIS said members and pensioners cannot go through with these transactions using their old eCard Plus with the upgraded kiosks.

The UMID-compliant eCard is a multipurpose card, which also functions as an ATM card, a transaction card, a debit card, hospitalization and medicine discount card, and an education benefit card, among others.
