GSIS PENSION – Here is a guide on who are considered as the primary and secondary beneficiaries of a pensioner of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS).
The members of the GSIS may be covered with different kinds of benefits depending on their savings to the government agency. One of this is the Retirement Benefit.
Under the Retirement Benefit, a member may receive a monthly pension after retiring from service. Undeniably, it is the benefit that most members of the social insurance institution are looking forward to.
The GSIS Pension is like an assurance that you will always have an income despite your retirement from work. The amount that you will be receiving will depend on your total savings.
However, there is always a chance that something unexpected may happen. Although it is unwanted, there are cases when a pensioner died shortly or just a few months or years after the retirement.
The social government institution recognize that the retirement benefit is a right and not a privilege. In line with it, they launched the Survivorship Pension.
