Guide on the Maximum Coverage of the SSS Sickness Benefit Offered to the Members
SSS SICKNESS BENEFIT – Here is a guide on the maximum coverage of the Social Security System Sickness Benefit.
Undeniably, one of the best moves you can do as soon as you pass the eligibility qualifications is to register for membership to the Social Security System (SSS). It is a state-run insurance program in the Philippines.
Most members of the SSS are workers of the private companies but the self-employed individuals also take up a huge part of the pie. It is an excellent preparation for the future.
Aside from the SSS monthly pension, the Social Security System also has a lot of SSS benefits for its members.
One of the benefits that SSS members may be entitled to is the SSS Sickness Benefit. It is a cash allowance for the member who is not able to report to work due to injury or illness.
Based on the official website of the Social Security System, there are qualifications set in availing the sickness benefit. A member must…
- be absent for work for at least four(4) days already due to sickness or injury
- have paid at least three(3) monthly contributions within a year before the semester that he or she got sick or injured
- have used up all the sick leaves offered by the company
- notify the SSS through filing an application for the benefit
According to the social insurance institution, the sick or injured member may avail the SSS sickness benefit for up to a maximum of 120 days or around four(4) months annually.
