The Employees' Compensation Commission (ECC) is the government agency responsible for implementing the Employee Compensation Program. It sets benefit policies, evaluates claims guidelines, and oversees the administration of the EC fund. The ECC works closely with SSS to ensure efficient processing of EC benefits for private-sector employees.
The ECC establishes occupational disease lists, safety standards, and rehabilitation programs. It also handles appeals from employees whose EC claims were denied by SSS.
Through its regulatory and supervisory role, the ECC ensures that workers receive fair protection from employment-related risks.
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.
