As a widow of S/Sgt Severino Balaba, PC died on Dec 18, 2003, I failed to claim any benefit from GSIS for I felt very depresssed on that time. He was a member in 1967 until 1979 as far as I can remember. I still have his records. Because of hard times & I happened to read about GSIS benefits also on FB, I’m trying to try my luck by asking these questions. Please enlighten me. Thank you.
