A Warrant of Distraint and Levy is a legal tool used by SSS to collect unpaid contributions from delinquent employers. Through this process, SSS may seize and sell properties or assets of employers who refuse to settle their obligations.
This enforcement mechanism is typically used as a last resort when employers repeatedly ignore notices, fail to remit contributions, or evade compliance. It serves as a strong deterrent against employer negligence.
Employers can avoid distraint actions by settling obligations promptly, maintaining proper accounting records, and responding quickly to SSS compliance notices.
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.
