President and General Manager Wick Veloso said GSIS pensioners would receive an amount equivalent to their one-month pension up to a maximum of P10,000.
“This year, we have also pushed for the early crediting of the 13th month and December 2022 pensions so that our pensioners can withdraw them ahead of the holiday rush,” he said.Qualified to receive the Christmas cash gift under the GSIS program are old-age and disability pensioners under Republic Act 8291 ; Presidential Decree 1146 ; and Republic Act 660 who are receiving their regular monthly pensions and are living as of November 30, 2022.
Meanwhile, the following are ineligible to receive the cash gift: pensioners who availed themselves of the five-year lump sum but will receive their regular monthly pension after December 31, 2022; survivorship and dependent pensioners; pensioners who retired under Republic Act 7699 ; and those receiving pro-rata pension.
On the other hand, SSS released the first batch of the pensions covering pensioners with dates of contingency within the first to the 15th day of the month.
