SSS – Survivorship

Death Notification

Death Notification is the formal process of informing SSS about a member’s passing. This step triggers the evaluation of death, survivorship, and funeral benefits. The family or claimant must submit the death certificate, proof of relationship, and required claim forms.

Timely notification allows SSS to validate records promptly and prevents delays in benefit processing. During evaluation, SSS verifies contribution history, beneficiary eligibility, dependency, and completeness of documents.

This step is essential for families seeking immediate financial support through SSS benefits.
