A Certified True Copy of the Death Certificate is an official document issued by the PSA or local civil registrar that confirms the death of an SSS member. It is a mandatory requirement when filing a death or funeral benefit claim.
The death certificate includes information such as the date, place, and cause of death. SSS uses this document to verify eligibility, confirm the member’s identity, and ensure the accuracy of records.
Submitting an authentic and complete death certificate ensures faster processing and prevents delays in releasing benefits to the rightful beneficiaries.
Hospital delivery in the Philippines can easily cost ₱60,000 - ₱200,000 depending on the hospital and type of delivery.
Many parents use a credit card to manage these expenses while waiting for their SSS maternity benefits.
