Claim verification is the step where SSS confirms the authenticity of the information provided in a claim. This includes validating documents, confirming employment records, verifying contribution postings, and cross-checking member details against government databases. Verification ensures that claims are legitimate and comply with SSS rules.
Verification may involve contacting employers, reviewing PSA records, checking DAEM enrollment, or validating handwritten signatures. Automated verification systems also help detect fraud, duplication, or inconsistencies.
Members can prevent verification delays by maintaining updated personal information and ensuring that all documents match official government records before filing.
