New deadline for ACOP compliance: June 30, 2022
SOCIAL Security System (SSS) announced that the new compliance deadline for the Annual Confirmation of Pensioners’ Program (ACOP) for 2021 has been extended from March 31, 2022, to June 30, 2022.
The ACOP covers the following pensioner types: 1. Survivor pensioners (receiving pensions through Death Benefit) 2. Total disability pensioners 3. Guardians and their dependents, 4. Retirement pensioners residing abroad.
Retirement pensioners residing in the Philippines remain exempted from complying with the ACOP.
The extension aims to give those who have not yet complied with the ACOP more time to do so for them to avoid the suspension of their monthly pensions.
The guidelines and documentary requirements for the different methods of compliance such as through e-mail, mail, courier, drop box, video conference, and home visit (for total disability pensioners residing in the Philippines) can be accessed at https://bit.ly/3iwZBUE.
Covered pensioners under the ACOP who have already complied for the calendar year 2021 are no longer required to re-submit their compliance. The usual schedule of the ACOP will resume on July 1, 2022. (SSS)
