SSS Vice President for Mindanao South 1 Division Mary Ellen A. Estoque urged the delinquent employers to settle their unremitted contributions with penalties amounting to nearly P2 million, allowing its 425 employees to avail of SSS benefits.
“We want to ensure that every employee receives the SSS benefits intended for them in times of life's contingencies. It is the primary reason why we are regularly engaging employers to continuously remind them of their obligations under the Social Security Law,” Estoque said.
She emphasized that these employers have 15 days to coordinate with SSS Davao and settle their contribution delinquencies. “If they fail to comply within the said period, they will face legal consequences such as imprisonment ranging from six years and one day to 12 years, and a fine between P5,000 and P20,000.”
Estoque appealed to all employed members to regularly check their contribution and loan records through their My.SSS account. “If your employers fail to act on any reported payment gaps, please do not hesitate to visit our branch offices and file a formal complaint against them.”
Meanwhile, she reported that from January to March 2024, SSS Mindanao South 1 Division collected P2.3 million in unremitted contributions from 65 employers. =#
