QUALIFIED pensioners under the Social Security System in Pangasinan started to receive their 13^th month bonus since December 1.

Joy Lim, SSS-Dagupan City Assistant Branch Head, said the 13^th month pay is equivalent to the member’s one month’s pension.

Pensioners get their 13^th month pay through the usual methods via the Philippine Electronic Fund Transfer System, bank, and cash payout.

Not everyone, however, will receive their pensions.

Lim said only SS retirement pensioners, SS and Employees’ Compensation survivor, and total disability pensioners, including partial disability pensioners with pension duration of not less than 12 months are qualified to receive the 13^th month pay.

The SSS has been giving out 13^th month pays to its pensioners since December 1988.#
