Benefit Overpayment Deduction is a policy that allows SSS to deduct outstanding loan balances or overpayments from a member’s future benefit claims. If a borrower fails to settle their delinquent loans, SSS may offset the remaining balance against benefits such as retirement, disability, or death claims. This ensures that unpaid obligations do not hinder the financial sustainability of the loan fund.\n\nMembers with benefit overpayment issues may be ineligible for certain restructuring programs until the discrepancy is resolved. Borrowers must coordinate with SSS to correct or settle overpaid benefits before restructuring delinquent loans.\n\nUnderstanding this policy is essential, especially for members close to retirement. Settling obligations early prevents delays in benefit releases and protects dependents who may claim survivor benefits.
