SSS is a social insurance for non-government employees in the Philippines. In the event of death, disability, sickness, maternity, old age, and unforeseen contingencies, SSS members can apply for salary loans or calamity loans.
A Salary loan is a cash loan granted to an employed, currently- paying self-employed or voluntary member. It is intended to meet the member’s short-term credit needs. A Calamity loan is granted to all the members residing in the affected area where the government declared a state of calamity.

Last year i filed for de@th claim of my husband. Napag-alaman ng sss na may anak sa labas ang asawa ko. They said other woman should file too para sa bata. Ang sabi ko wala naman problema dahil kasama naman talaga kahit illegitimate, pero di ba po dapat ako lang ang dapat na mag file lahat dahil ako at anak ko ang legal and then I will decide how much mapunta para sa illegimate… nakuha ko is 14 thousand plus kinuha ko na rin dahil kailangang kailangan ng anak for tuition fee, dahil wala naman kami pension din ng anak ko. And sabi ko nga po sa sss Alaminos di na iintindihin pa ng Ina o kabit ng asawa ko na file pa dahil marami pong bakery na pag-aari ung babae. Biruin nyo ako pa nakiusap sa babae na tulungan ako, na mag file din sya if she’s not interested at all tulungan nya lang kami na makuha namin ng anak ko ng buo ung sa De@th claim by also filing sa sss. Pero di ko na sya nakita at di rin sya nag file. May mga nagsasabi sa akin na balikan ko pa rin po ung kalahati sa sss.
