SSS UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT AMOUNT 2025 – You can check here the details on how much a member of the Social Security System may get under the benefit offer.
In the Philippines, one of the biggest social insurance giants that is operating in the service of the Filipino people for several decades now is the Social Security System. More popularly called SSS, it has several loan and benefit offers that attend to different needs including a financial need due to unemployment.
Truth be told that many people depend on their monthly salary to make ends meet. However, there are inevitable situations where one may lose his or her job. The advantage of being a member of the Social Security System is that it has a safety net for its members in financially-challenging situations.
Aside from the SSS loans that members may turn to, the social insurance giant got different benefit offers which include the SSS Unemployment Benefit. It was crafted to help members, even overseas Filipino workers, who lost their job.
As long as the job loss is not due to gross and habitual neglect of duties, willful disobedience of legal orders from the employer or company, commission of crime or offense, voluntary resignation, serious misconduct or violation of the company’s rules and regulations, or willful breach of trust or commission of dishonesty, you may turn to SSS when you lose your job.
The SSS Unemployment Benefit offer is open for members who meet the following eligibility requirements:
- an active member of the Social Security System before the involuntary separation from work
- 18 years old and above upon the filing of claim but not over 60 years old
- with at least 36 monthly contributions posted
- not received any other SSS benefit
- no unsettled SSS Unemployment Benefit within the last three (3) years before the date of the current unemployment started
How much a member may get under the offer? With regards to the SSS Unemployment Benefit amount, it may actually vary depending on the monthly salary credits of the member.
According to the social insurance giant, the SSS Unemployment Benefit amount is equal to 50% of your average monthly salary credits (AMSC). A member’s grant may be equal to a maximum of twice of the said amount.
For example, if the member’s AMSC is Php 18,000, he/she may get Php 9,000 under the SSS Unemployment Benefit. To file for a claim, there are important documentary requirements for the SSS Unemployment Benefit application that you must prepare and submit to the social insurance giant.
