The Survivorship Pension is a monthly cash benefit granted to the primary beneficiaries of a deceased SSS member. Eligible beneficiaries include the legal spouse who has not remarried and dependent minor or disabled children. The pension provides long-term financial support to families who relied on the member’s income.
The pension amount is computed based on the member’s contribution history, salary credits, and the number of dependent children. Spouses retain entitlement as long as they do not remarry or enter a new live-in partnership. Dependent children receive their share until they reach age 21, or indefinitely if they are permanently disabled.
The survivorship pension helps stabilize household finances after the member’s death, ensuring that dependents continue receiving adequate support.
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.
