Was the SSS pension not received this month? No worries because I am about to share a few steps that you can take to restore your payments.
First, you could check out their official website to see if there are any public announcements about the delay. Other than that, you could also contact SSS and your bank to inquire about the reasons for the delay. For further details, keep reading below.
First, make sure you submit the ACOP Form for this year. If it is already done then there could be numerous reasons why your Social Security System pension payments might be delayed this month.
However, the problem doesn’t have to last too long and there are a few steps that you can take to investigate and restore your payment schedule.
1. Check For Announcements
Your delayed payments may be a result of some technical issue. If that is so, then the SSS would have made public announcements on their official website. So, I suggest you go to their website or their social media pages to check if there are any such announcements made for delayed pension release.
2. Contact SSS
If you see nothing on their website about the delayed pension releases, only you are facing this issue. In that case, you must contact SSS officials to inquire about your problem. You can call their SSS hotline at 1455 or email them at their official email address [email protected].
3. Verify Your Bank Account
Another thing that you can do is verify your bank account details. You must provide SSS with your updated bank account details otherwise, you will face late payment issues or your pension releases.
4. Contact Your Bank
If the above three problems do not relate with you then it is certain that the delay is from the bank’s end. So, for that, you must contact your bank and see if there are any technical issues with the bank or your account.
The Bottom Line
So, it is safe to conclude that there are a few steps that you can take to restore delayed payment issues of your monthly pension from the SSS. To sum it all up, first, you should check their official website and social media pages to see if there are any public announcements for expected delays. If there are, then you can’t do anything but wait for the issue to be restored.
However, if that is not the case, then it means that only you are facing this issue hence you need to personally get involved. You could reach out to SSS through their official hotline or email address. You must also verify your bank details and check with your bank for possible reasons for the delay.
