A Benefit Offsetting Error occurs when SSS deducts an incorrect amount from a member’s benefit claim due to outdated or inaccurate loan records. For example, if a member has already settled a loan but the system still shows a balance, SSS may deduct an unnecessary amount from the retirement, disability, or death claim.\n\nMembers who experience offsetting errors must file a request for recomputation and correction. They must submit proof of previous payments and the original amortization schedule. Once verified, SSS will reimburse the excess deduction or adjust the final benefit amount.\n\nUnderstanding this error helps members ensure they receive the full and correct benefit entitlement without unintended reductions.
