How to Update Your Direct Deposit Information
To ensure timely receipt of your pension, it’s crucial to have the correct bank account information on file with the SSS. Follow these steps to update your direct deposit details:
- Log in to the SSS Portal: Access the official SSS website and log in to your account.
- Navigate to My Account: On the homepage, select the ‘My Account’ option to view your information.
- Update Direct Deposit Details: Click on ‘Direct Deposit,’ then ‘View/Edit.’ Enter your new bank account details, including the routing number and account number.
- Submit Changes: Confirm and accept the changes. You will receive a confirmation email from SSS. The updated details will be used for the next month’s pension deposit.
Receiving Your SSS Pension
To claim your SSS pension, you must have a designated savings account. The SSS will transfer your pension to this account. There are two ways to receive your benefits:
- Monthly Pension: Available after reaching 60 years old and upon retirement. Payments start after applying for SSS benefits and continue until the pensioner turns 65.
- Lump Sum Payment: This option allows pensioners to receive the first 18 months of benefits upfront at a discounted rate. Monthly payments will resume from the 19th month onwards.
Both options ensure that retirees receive the support they need based on their contributions during their working years.
Stay informed and ensure your details are up-to-date to receive your SSS pension on time.
