SSS – Beneficiaries

Guardian Eligibility for Child Pension

Guardian Eligibility refers to who may legally receive and manage a dependent child’s share of the SSS survivorship pension. When the legal spouse is alive and qualified, they typically act as the administrator of the child’s pension. If both parents are deceased, incapacitated, or disqualified, a court-appointed guardian is required.

Guardians must provide legal documents such as guardianship orders, affidavits, and identification to ensure proper handling of the child’s funds.

This process ensures that the pension is used exclusively for the child’s welfare and prevents misuse by unauthorized individuals.
