I am now a voluntary member of sss and continously paying my sss contribution since I left my job last year and now I am filing my sss sickness but it was denied due to lack of one requirement and that is l501 of my former employer..is it necessary to give a copy since I have no more employer? Ms. Baby
ReplyDeletetechnically, no but the SSS form requires a certification.
Deletealso, it would be the responsibility of your former employer's representative but if you want the benefit, try to conform first.
SSS might be reviewing forms and this will serve as good input to them. Will try to discuss it with the Manager
Hi. When I was with my previous employer back in 2012 (March), I was confined at home as advised by the doctor to rest for a month. I was not paid by the company because I had no sick leave credits anymore. Thinking that the SSS sick benefit was just if you were confined at the hospital, I did not apply for a claim. It's just recently that I learned that I could have done so. Is it too late for me or I can still apply for a claim? What do I need to present? Also, now with my current employer, I've been out for almost a month but due to a different illness and will submit my resignation tomorrow. Can I file for sick claims for both instances? Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteyou cannot apply for the sickness benefit in the first case as it is already 2014. It is much too late.
Deletewell, were you confined with your current illness? Sickness notification is required within 5 days of the illness unless you were hospitalized. If you were hospitalized, you can file within a year, otherwise, it is too late again
Thank you so much for your response.
ReplyDeleteI was not confined I was just advised to rest and to do tons of laboratory tests. Yes, my employer was notified within the first 5 days of my absence. If I resign now, what will I need to get from them when I file for the claim and I am no longer with the company? Also, there was no particular number of days indicated in the medical certificate as to how long I needed to rest is because the time needed to do all the lab tests could not be determined yet. Will that be accepted? Thanks. -Tarry
The SSS has to be informed of your rest within 5 days of receiving your advice. Your employer is supposed to reimburse you for your sick leave if you have none left. You cannot claim to SSS directly.
ReplyDeletehi. i would like to ask how they are going to give the sickness claim? is it thru the employer or the home address? thank you
ReplyDeleteSickness is paid thru the bank of the Employer
ReplyDeleteHi! I would like to inquire if my employer refuse to advance the sickness claim and I was about to resign in the company. Can I claim it on the SS directly instead?
ReplyDeletealready answered - see previous replies.
DeleteYOU CANNOT CLAIM DIRECTLY FROM SSS
just report your employer to SSS before you resign so someone from SSS can go to your employer
Many Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi , i was separated with my previous employer jan 2012 and got hospitalized sept the same year .can i still avail the benefit or atleast have it reimbursed since its 2014 now ?
ReplyDeleteonly one year with hospitalization -
Deleteso, no, sorry
Hi! I had an approved sickness claim for 60 days covering period apr8-june8. However, my injury still prevent me from returning to my work. Is it possible to file another claim for the same reason? I understand the maximum is at 120 days in one calendar year. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteup to the doctor. you can certainly try
DeleteMy mom is a voluntary SSS memberand was confined for 4-5 days just a month ago. How can she avail the hospitalization benefit from SSS? How much could she get from it?
ReplyDeletethe requirements are listed on this post
Deletethe amount depends on the MSC that she is paying for
Good day. I suffered from 1st degree to second degree burns which happened at home and would like to file for sickness benefit from SSS. I was hospitalized from May 18 and discharged on the 26th. But my doctor filled out 2 CLD-9N. one stating the start of the hospital confinement leaving the part which says I am fit to work blank since I am still recuperating and the other form for home confinement application stating i got discharged from the hospital on the 26th and gave a date of june 28 as fit to work to be attached for my home confinement application.
ReplyDeleteAm I supposed to file this separately or do I just file and attach the 2 forms for hospital confinement? Thanks!
you can file it together -
Deleteyou might need a medical abstract- from the hospital records -if you are applying later on for disability
Hi! Yesterday, I was advised by my physician to rest at home for a month. Am I eligible for the SSS sickness benefit? I already informed my employer of my month-long absence but I'm quite hesitant to file a claim because I don't fully understand the 'confined' part on the qualifications. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteyou must notify SSS thru your employer immediately - that is within 5 days of your confinement - home or hospital.
Deletethe difference is if hospitalized, you can file and notif within one year, if you are hospitalized the first part of this reply applies.
im home confined for renal disorder last aug 7 until now. nakaleave ako sa company pero last friday ko lng nainform ang employer ko about sa sick leave kc d ako familiar sa process.i was asked to go personally sa sss and check if i can get a stamp para sa sick leave application ko.. i was advised by the doctor to keep my home confinement hanggang until sept 20 2014. possible pa kya maapprove ung sick leave application ko from aug7 to sept 20,2014? Thanks
ReplyDeleteplease post only once.
Deletethe procedure is to inform SSS within 5 days of confinement as confined in the hospital.
most likely you will be denied for late notification.
sorry.
i'm confined at home due to food allergy since sept 06, 2014. i've been informing my boss the night before that i would be absent the following day, everynight. but due to recurrence of my allergy i've been absent until now, sept 11, 2014. can i still file the sickness benefit?? thanks po..
ReplyDeleteplease read the qualifying conditions up there.
Deletedo you see the one re 5 calendar days?
hi i underwent surgery july 21 and i was discharged on july 24. I was advised by my doctor to rest for a month for full recovery. I filed my sss sickness form and all documents needed to my employer 1st week of august. Until now I was advised to extend my medical leave for another month since I am not fully recovered yet. Is it too late for me to file an extension? I talked to my doctor he said he is willing to help with my sickness benefit. I am just not sure if i can still do that.
ReplyDeleteCan I still file an extension?
If I resign due to being not fit for the job anymore will I still be able to get the benefit?
pls respond.. thank you
yes to both questions - remember that you shouldnt have any sick leaves left before you can file -
DeleteHi Ms. Guia,
ReplyDeleteit is my first time to file a sickness notification of one of our employee.. She even didn't notify us that she was sick. She had her 5-day rest as her ob remarks starting 9-13 and to return on 15th. She gave her notification to us last 19th without notification(acknowledgement receipt) from SSS. Do I have to file it for her? And what forms should I need the B304 or B309? Thank you for your reply.
You should know your duties as HR/Personnel.
Deleteas for not being informed, doesnt your office have rules as to being informed when an employee is absent?
please read the questions and answers already posted before you asked, because this has been covered
Hi Ms Guia,
ReplyDeleteIf my employer said that my sickness claim is still under evaluation with SSS should I be able to view from my online account that there is a sickness claim?
supposed to be, yes.
ReplyDeletethe SSS website is being "restructured" so you must bear with the delays if ever
Hi ms guia,
ReplyDeleteI was approved 100 days sick benefit by sss on july 4 but i was not informed by my previous employer (com. A) so i told them about it since i resigned from them effective july 25 2014. After waiting for how many mos. They are now asking me to provide a copy of my contributions so they can compute bec i got injured oct 2013 and i was hired march 2013 so they need to compute from oct 2012 when i was still employed with another company. However i cant access online.. even went to ss to ask for a copy but they said they dont provide a copy. I talked to the sss manager and she spoke with compny a hr manager and advised hr that the company rep needs to go to sss and sss will compute it for them. I even escalated my issue to company a's director but she said they have processes to follow. I exhausted all my options even asked friends from sss but no one can help me. 45k is a big help for me since i paid 20% of all medical fees when i fractured 3 bones in my foot bec company a medical benefit is 80/20. Im thinking of filing a complaint before oct comes bec this too stressful i went back and forth to sss branches and no one can help me. I stopped sending emails to company a 2 days ago bec they said they will update me but they wont let me know what is happening unless i send them tons of emails. Do you think i can file a complaint since it will be 1 yr on oct? Ive waited long enough. Hoping to hear from you. Thank you.
your question is confusing and is NOT in the correct order.
Deletewhere you in fact absent 100 days from your previuos employer? it isnt clear.
but yes, you can complain to Member Relations Dept. and do so as soon as you can.
you might also want to complain to DOLE because your previous employer seems to be not doing anything

Wala po kase sila na sinabi na may ganon po pala
ReplyDeletesickness must be filed within five days of occurence unless hospitalized. so, no.
Deleteyou used the maternity benefit.
and magkano po kaya makukuha ko?
ReplyDeleteMay considerations ba if hndi mo naprocess ung sickleave mo within 5 days, since my doctor is only at the clinic during monday :(
ReplyDeleteno. notification MUST be made within 5 days

ReplyDeleteyou should have given notice already so it is too late
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteAfter my gall bladder operation I was advised to rest for 30 days and it was written and signed by my doc on the form ive submitted to sss office. However, SSS only approve 15 days. May i know what are the factors or basis of the number of days sickness claims approval?
Thanks!
the sss physicians handle that - i am not an MD
DeleteHi. I just like to share that my claim for sickness benefit was declined due to late notification when I filed it by the time that I have consumed all of my sick leaves. I was sick last Sept. 1-14 and my paid sick leaves were only until Sept 10. I submitted all the docs required within the 5 day period but it was returned and denied stating late notification. I think SSS should be clear about their rules and procedures.
ReplyDeletethe 5th day is the 5th day you were sick, not the 5th day of your no-more-leave.
Deletethat is clear
My itatanong po sana ako..ngpacheck up po ako sa doctor etong december 3 at sinabi po sa akin na kailangan ko po ng bed rest ng 1week dahil sa nawalan po ako ng boses.sa call center po ako nagwowork.puwede pa po ba ako mgfile ng sss sick benefits next week monday??gusto ko po sana malaman para alam ko po gagawin ko..

ReplyDeleteVM or employed does not matter. Did you read the qualifying conditions in this post?
DeleteHi po. I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and was advised by my ob to rest for 3 weeks last december 17 due to premature labor. Can I apply for sickness benefit with that reason? I have consumed all my sick leaves from the company?
ReplyDeletedepends on the MD, most likely no, but you can try
DeleteHi good day i was advised by OB to get a bed rest for 1 week due to threatend abortion can I file it as sickness im 5 weeks pregnant
ReplyDeleteonly a physician can answer that. sorry, not a physician so i cannot answer
DeleteGood day,, if the employer already filed the SSS SICKNESS FORM to SSS,, how many days should it take for the SSS to reimburse the approved amount to the employer bank account??
ReplyDeleteCurrently there is no Covenant of Service (COS) that specifies transaction time so i do not know. Systems change have also changed service commitments
DeleteGaano po katagal makuha? Kahapon ko pinasa sa hr ung form. Thanks po!
ReplyDeletedo not ask me about processing times because there is some delay.
DeleteHi po mam, tanong ko lang po kasi nag file na ako ng CLD-9N. na pass na ng HR naming sa branch. ilang days ba ung approval at ilang days ba mkukuha ung reimbursement?
ReplyDeleteyou can see the processing days in the ARTA document but it isnt strictly followed due to changes in procedure so i cant tell you
Deleteplease do not ask about processing times

ReplyDeleteHi Ma'am,
ReplyDeleteHere's my situation:
I filed for the sickness benefit thru my employer last year around August 2014 due to surgery (removal of one ovary) and since I was also pregnant at the time, was given 60 days to rest due to threatened abortion.
Then after that, when I got back to my doctor last October 2014, I was told to continue my bed rest due to threatened abortion for another month. I filed an extension to sss thru my employer. (1st extension)
After a month, my doctor told me to extend my bed rest again for another month until December 2014. So I filed another extension to SSS thru my employer. (2nd extension)
My first sss application was just approved just last month (January 2015). I just filed my resignation and my last day will be this March.
1. Here's my question: How do I know if my filed extensions have been approved? When I reach my last day of employment, will it be my responsibility to follow up on those claims?
2. Since my employer paid for those months that I was on medical leave, what will happen if SSS denies my 2 extension claims? Will this affect my separation/last pay?
3. What will happen to my claims if they are approved?
I have been asking our HR regarding this case, but I am not getting any response for weeks now.
I hope you can shed some light. It will be very much appreciated.
you have to ask SSS about your situation. It is very specific and depends on the status of the processing.
Deletecall the branch where your office filed the claim
ask q lng po pede po b mag loan ng sickness benefit ang asawa q? pero ndi po xa ang nagkasakit ung anak nmin na dengue, pero wla n po xa trabaho ndi n po nhulugan sss nia mhigit 1yr n,

DeleteHi can i avail sickness benefits if i have existing salary loan?
ReplyDeleteyes
DeleteHi Maam,
ReplyDeleteJust call Jenna.
I underwent myomectomy and my right ovary was also removed on the first week of feb this year 2015.
Would you happen to know how sss determine the number of days approved for sss sickness benefit?
sickness benefit = no. of days in the hospital + whatever prescribed and approved bed rest.
Deleteyou might want to apply also for disability benefits
hi ms guia, aside from sss sickness benefit , am I also qualified for sss disability due to removal of right fallopian tube? thank you. r
ReplyDeletedepends on age and physician evaluation
DeleteIm sorry to ask po.
ReplyDeletePero really not sure.
Kagagaling ko lang po kasi ng one month bedrest for threatened preterm labor so bumalik ako sa work last feb 23. Ngayon po advised ult sa akin bedrest till manganak because of same illness po.maapproved po kaya ng sss un.
Dko po kasi gets yung part ng limitations
Na
Not more than 120 days per year will be paid on the same illness.
Not more than 240 days will be paid on the same illness.

Deletegood day po ms guia,
ReplyDeleteask ko lang po, bakit po kailangan na nagamit na lahat ng sick leaves na binibigay ng company as a requirement ng SSS para sa SICKNESS BENEFIT REIMBURSEMENT APPLICATION form?
samat po.
it is a requirement, or if you prefer, a condition.
DeleteSSS is really a retirement fund. Sickness and Salary Benefits are just additional benefits added on for active/young members
Hi ms. guia,
ReplyDeletei am confused po regarding the SSS sickness benefit kc my nkausap po kmi.ask ko lng po if the employee has the right not to used the available SL credits of the company and instead avail or claim it to SSS Sickness as the SSS representative said to me..hoping you could help me regarding this matter
i already answered this question. see above.
Deletethere should be no leaves left for SSS to pay Sickness Benefit.
hi! how will i know if my sickness benefits has been approved? beacuse i havent received any updates from my employer. My employer told me that i will just receive the reimbursement through payroll account if it was approved, or will receive an email if declined. But i havent received any, so i just want to ask if theres anyway to know if it was approved or not aside from going to our office. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteask your company rep to ask the SSS branch that services your office
Deleteim separated to the company since 2006,i have 109 months total contributions, this march 2015 ,i undergo major operation,im asking if i am qualify for the sickness notification..?
ReplyDeleteno, you are not qualified for the sickness benefit.
Deletesickness benefit is a short term benefit given to active, that is, paying members.
however, you may qualify for disability, depending on the nature of the surgery

Hi
ReplyDeleteI havr 2 question
1. I was confined and advised to rest for 3 months and filed claim 2 after i returned to work. It was approved by sss for a refund. But my office only refunded me 2 months. And when i asked for the remaining amt that was approved. my pffice find a way to terminate my empoyment and told me to claim remaining amt at sss since i am not connected with the company anymore. What should i do?
2. I was declared blind on my left eye by my Dr due to diabetic 2 years ago. Can i still claim for partial disability?
ask your office for a certificate indicating what amount they paid. the go to SSS. yes, you can claim disability - that is partial permanent- but the sss medical will decide.

this is up to the physician so just try.

Good day Ms. Guia,
ReplyDeleteI am really confused about 4 days of being unable to work in qualifying conditon for sickness benefits. I am sick with a fever and tonsillitis condition last april 4( which happened to be holiday) until now i cant go to work but i got check up yesterday april 6. My question is holiday can be counted on for the 4 days requirements ? Or fever or tonsillitis can be applicable to apply? Thank you
unable to work means that first of all, there should be work. if it is a holiday, then there is no work. So, no. it does not count. Moreover, you shouldnt have any leaves left to qualify for sickness benefits. the md decides which illnesses apply
DeleteGud evening ms guia..I just want to know if I can avail a sickness benefits.. I am a voluntary member..and im pregnant my due date is june 8 2015.. And i got sick and hospitalized last April 7and 8 and still advice to rest at home for 2 weeks....thanks

ReplyDeletesince you were hospitalized, you have one year to file notification and claim....

ReplyDeletehave you notified SSS. Notification must happen within 5 days of sickness. if you have passed 5 days, you are no longer covered unless you were hospiralized
Deletei have just finished my contract as contractual worker,and now i am sick,can i apply for cld-9a,will sss pay me monthly or will they reimburse me for my expenses,how does it work?
ReplyDeletedepends on what you are applying for - sickness benefit is only for number of days you missed work - no such thing as monthly payment or reimbursement.
Deletemonthly payments are for disability claims
hi miss Guia, I just want to clarify since it is said earlier that sickness benefit cash amount paid is for the number of days the person is unable to work.. I have an idea of how it is computed though i just wanted to know if rest days are included.. my situation is I had an injury last march 3, 2015 and was advised to rest for 90 days by the doctor and was approved of 60 days by sss. Everything went well and I was able to get a fit to work for may 2, 2015. should i multiply the daily sickness allowance to 60 days or should I deduct sat. and sundays for my rest days which will only leave me approximately around 43 days? thanks
ReplyDeletewhy are you doing the computation?
Deletesss will do that
Hi Ms.Guia, I am a voluntary member and at bed rest up to my due date because of pregnancy loss for two times.My obgyne said that I can file sickness benefit, my question is this, Am I qualified since I resumed my contribution last July 2014 only, therefore I will file my sickness form on July 2015 na lang po to be qualified? Thank you po
ReplyDeletei dont understand your question

Deletedenied.
hi ma'am,
ReplyDeleteI just want to ask if irerelease parin ba ng company ko ung SSS reimbursment check ko na iaadvance nila kahit wala na ako sa company?
I filed it last April 20, 2015 and until now, June 1, 2015 wala pa rin ung advance nila.
I asked them if kelan darating and I was told that it was already requested and just waiting for it to be delivered back to them, yet the person who was assigned to pick up checks from Union bank, which is the bank being requested for the check , is on-leave until today and they told me that possibly it can be released within this week, June 1-5, 2015.
I need to do an immediate resignation this Tuesday, June 2 due to some serious personal matters and I'm very worried about the check since I need the money so bad to provide continuous medication for my dad who doesn't want to go to the hospital anymore..
I hope masagot nyo po to ASAP.
salamat
if you resign without having received the reimbursement, have the authorized signatory of the company sign a certification to the effect that you have not received it so that you can file directly to the SSS

it depends on the sickness claims, some claims are easy to adjudicate, others are harder.
Deletedepends on what you want to do. you can always check with sss if your claim has b een paid or not.
Hi Ms. Guia,
ReplyDeleteI am claiming for an SSS Sickness Benefit for my 3-day-hospital confinement (right ovary removal) and recuperation period of 78 days last May 26, 2015. Can I also file for sickness claim for my surgery last October 2014 (appendectomy), hospital confinement of 3 days and recuperation period of 30 days? I mean, can I have two sickness claim applications? I wasnt informed by my employer about this benefit. Hope you could help me. Thanks.
yes. as long as the days do not overlap
DeleteHi Ms. Guia,
ReplyDeleteI was hospitalized last May 11 and was scheduled for surgery the following day. Got discharged by May 15 and filed SSS sickness benefit immediately by May 19 (since I heard it takes a month to process it and I was advised for 2 months leave at the office). May 27 I received an email to my company HR that SSS require additional requirements and they that they have to resubmit once it is complete (surgical technique and hospital abstract, to be exact) I got so annoyed because the liason officer from our company didn't even read my requirements thoroughly! It was all complete with pre-op and post-op clinical abstract and surgical technique which is under the operating room record. I addressed my disappointment to them and said that everythig was already been submitted if they will check everything closely.
I really don't know how these HR officers do their jobs, if I didn't made a follow up email last night, they wouldn't notify me that it has been approved already. They mentioned that they will process the check immediately -- with the word HOWEVER, it normally takes 1 month to process it. Another follow up email came said that they have to wait for me to return to work before they can process the check. And that woild be around July! I know and I did confirm thru SSS hotline that the claim should be paid advance by the employer once it has been granted approved. The SSS also said that is under the law.
That being said, if the company refuse to pay in advance the sss sickness benefit claim, how can I respond to it?
you can file a claim against your company with DOLE
DeleteHi Ms.Guia,
ReplyDeleteI applied for sickness notification I submitted the documents on time the company acknowledge and received the documents apparently the company overlooked the dates of my confinement they put March 3 instead march 5 so the claim was disapproved by sss. I dinespute ko po and ng pareevaluate po ung company denied parin dahil kailangan daw dalawa form ginamit ksi nakalagay dun sa isang part for doctor 3days tapos may katapat na part un for doctor parin na prolong leave may nakalagay na extension na 4 days so total of 7 days.Ang sabi ng HR dapat daw 2 form ginamit habang na pinasa ko form wala sila cnabi na ganun. Isa pa na deny din daw dahil late filling na habang si Hr may kasalanan bakit na late dahil sa pagkakamali nila sa nilagay na date.Im seeking for your legal advise thanks.
legal advice? i dont give legal advice.
Deletesss has the right to deny claims that are filed late.
sorry. there is no remedy to this
if madeny po ba yung sickness kasi mejo late ko n naifile, puwede p po b magfile ulit? kasi ooperahan po ako ulit this month. ok lng din po b kahit walang employer at magvoluntary member nlang ako dahil 1 year n po ako hindi nakakapagtrabaho dahil sa kondisyon ko.?
ReplyDeletepls check qualifying conditions on this post. looks like you will NOT qualify
Deletequalified po ba ang colostomy at tracheostomy para sa disability claim.may colostomy at traecheostomy po kasi ako at nagfile na din po ako ng disability last april. di ko po alam kung naapprove po. paano din po ba malalaman kung naapprove po o nadeny yung pinasa ko?
ReplyDeletei am not a physician so i do not know
Deleteask the branch where you applied and ask for the status.
Deleteyou can also ask medical evaluation regarding your claim application
Hello miss guia,
ReplyDeleteI nagundergo po ako surgery last year, august 2014 due to thyroid cancer at nakapagfile na ng claim s sss, however nagresign po ako january 2015, naayos ko na po ang mga forms at nadeny dahil sa form i501, nabgyan na ako ng employer ko pero dahil malayo na ako s dating employer sinend ito via email, is it possible na maipasa ko ito kahit printed copy or dapat e original tlaga ang form i501 before ako pmnta sa sss diliman branch?
And kapag lumagpas po na ako ng august 2015 ay marerevoke ang claim ko dahil ang sabe saken within 1 year na ikaw ay naoperahan dapat kumpleto na lahat ng requirements, i hope you can help me.
you can try. i suggest you hurry it up because sss is strict about deadlines
DeleteHi miss guia,
DeleteI already went to sss diliman branch, Thank God I have a friend who is working there nasamahan ako to process and kung san mga department pupunta, naipasa ko na po ang l501 and sabe saken for reprocess po, nagcheck po ko then after 1 week ang status na daw po ng claim ko is for review. Ano po ibig sbhin neto at kelan kaya siya magkakaron final notice? Thank you.
sana nagfile ka rin ng disability.
Deletedi ako sure kung kailan ka magkaka final notice, depende kasi yan, minsan nag-uusap pa yung mga doktor para ma-finalize yung mga detalye.
mam nagfile ako nung sss sickness notification nung june 1 fracture sya kaso hinahanap yung xray result problema kasi nawala nung messenger namin.. pede kaya ipasa yung 2nd xray result and negative.. para dun?
ReplyDeletei am not sure. depende sa evaluating doctor. suggest you try asap

ReplyDeleteGood Day po. Ask ko lang kung pwede po ba mag-claim ng SSS sickness benefit ang isang empleyado na hindi nakakapasok dahil sa pagpapabunot ng ngipin? Salamat po
ReplyDeletebinasa mo ba yung post? kailangan absent ka ng minimum of 4 days bago mag-qualify sa sickness
DeleteGood day inquire ko lang po kung paano nagrerelease ang sss sa mga voluntary member na nagfile ng 2months sickness benefit. 2month po ba agad ang ibinibigay nilang cheque or paisaisa? Kasi nagfile po ako nung june 10 for may 18-july 18 sickness benefit pero isang buwan po ang nakuha ko. Maibibigay pa po kaya nila yung pangalawang buwan na sickness benefit?
ReplyDeletetotal ang pagbayad ng sickness benefit. baka 1 month lang ang na-approve. pakicheck yung voucher mo for the approved number of months
DeleteMeron pa po bang chance na maclaim or ifile ko ulit yung 2nd month sickness benefit?
DeleteMeron po kasi akong separated sickness claim information. May nakalagay po under claim type: separated-ss sickness (initial) ibig po bang sabihin may 2nd month pa?
Deleteno. your claim type has nothing to do with number of months. only the physician who evaluated you can answer your question. you can ask sss directly
DeleteHi Good Morning po.
ReplyDeleteAno po ibig sabihin nito "paid at least 3 months of contributions within the 12-month period immediately before the semester of sickness"?
Kc po ngresign ako sa previous work ko June 2014, and then I got a work August 2014, pero nareport ako sa SSS October na?
di po ba ako pwede magclaim?
it depends. incomplete info mo
DeleteHello Ms. Guia,
ReplyDeleteI just want to know kung pwede po ba ako makapag avail ng sickness benefit from SSS I was confined in the hospital last March 1,2015 the final diagnosis was threatened abortion since I am pregnant, pwede pa po ba ako magfile sa SSS ng sickness benefit? Thank you.
it depends. incomplete data for a reply
DeleteHello Ms. Guia,
ReplyDeleteI was only employed for a month to a private employee. I was a government employee from 2006 to 2009 so I dont have any SSS contribution. I only started paying my SsS contribution this year January 2015. I am a self-paying member of SSS. I underwent appendectomy last May 29, 2015. Am I still qualified for a sickness benefit. I haven't apply for one as I am not certain if I qualify for one. Thank you!
pakibasa yung post - eto na yung sagot kasi.
Deletenaka explain pa.
Npkatagal naman ng process ng sss. Kya k nga nag file ng sick leave e. Kase kelangan. Anong klaseng proseso yan.Ang tagal. Tapos mkkita mo nag chichismisan lang kau. Do your job. Malamang pag kayong empleyado mismo ng sss mbilis yan. Kame nag hhntay ng npakatagal. Wag nyo tatanggalin to. Nakakainis na Ang sobrang paghhntay. Benepisyo nman nmin yun sa wlang palyang paghhulog sa inyo. D naman yun ifflow up kng di impt e.
ReplyDeleteang sss ay pang retirement talaga. nagbigay lamang ng sickness benefit parang extra lang benepisyo sa miyembro. ako ay sss member din.
Deletelahat ng transaction importante. As for doing my job, you dont know my job so quit telling me how to do my job. better yet, complain to sss, not me!
this blog is a public service only,
Irereport ko kayo s bayan mo I patrol mo. Npka bagal ng proseso nyo!
ReplyDeleteIreport ninyo ang SSS, hwag nyo isama lahat ng tao.
Deleteang blog na ito ay tulong lamang sa mga miyembro, hwag kyong ganyan.
maraming gustong mangloko sa sss kya ang ibang proceso ay naging mabagal dahil sa mga safeguards. kawawa naman yung processor, maawas sa kanyang retirement pag siya ay nagkamali. kaya dahandahan kyo
Hello Ms. Guia,
ReplyDeleteI was only employed for a month to a private institution. I was a government employee from 2006 to 2009 so I dont have any SSS contribution. I only started paying my SsS contribution this year January 2015. I am a self-paying member of SSS. I underwent appendectomy last May 29, 2015. Am I still qualified for a sickness benefit. I haven't apply for one as I am not certain if I qualify for a sickness benefit. Thank you Ms. Guia for taking the time to read my message.
no.
Deleteplease read the sickness posts to find out why
click on the label sickness so you can read all relevant posts
Good day ms.guia, i was advised to file a sick leave for 45 days from july2-aug15, when can i expect to receive my sickness benefit claim? Thank you
ReplyDeleteit depends on your case, and the physician reviewing your case.
DeleteMaam I will be confined at the hospital for three days, will be undergoing surgery and was advised by my physician to rest for a month. Do i still need to submit sickness notification form within 5days?
ReplyDeleteNo, because you were hospitalized.
DeleteFile as soon as you can, though
Hi. Regarding the reduction code conft due to late filing, I would like to know what does it mean? Does it mean late filing of CLD-9? Because our claim is amounting to Php22k but we only claimed from SSS is Php8k due to late filing. Where did they base it? TIA
ReplyDeletei dont know what conft means, dont use shortcuts
DeleteHi Ms. Guia,
ReplyDeleteI would like to ask if SSS Sickness claim is for 1 month bed rest due to spotting and abdominal pain and placenta previa, it is enough to submit an original copy of medical certificate from OB (with his clinic's letterhead under his name) or it really needs a certified true copy stamp? Since I was not confined, it is not required for certified true copy stamp right? Thanks in advance.
you have to follow the documentation requirements of SSS

ReplyDeleteHi Ms. Guia.
ReplyDeletegood day...

as long as she meets requirements
DeleteHi ask ko lang po na bedrest po kasi ako for a month nang ob ko last april 15 to may 16 this year so nagfile ako agad sa sss nakalagay dun na 30 days home confinement threathened abortion kasi sobrang selan ko that tine pero binigay lang nang sss is 10 days. How come? Tsaka di din nakalagay sa online ung sss claimed ko none daw. Db dapat makikita un sa online sss acct ko?
ReplyDeletei am not a physician so i cannot answer your question. you can asl medical
DeleteHi Ms. Guia,
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon po!
I hope you're doing well:)
just want to ask po, if it's ok to file in SS the sickness notification and maternity at the same time. Also, is sore eyes covered by SS Sickness Benefits? Leave for 5 day (home confinement.
Thank you:)
sickness and maternity cant be paid for the same contingency
DeleteHi does sss still provides reimbursement for the same medical problem/issue if the latter unfortunately reoccurs??
ReplyDeletewithin the limits defined, yes
DeleteHi mam.how does my sss sickness benefit be computed if when i got sick for sixty days(hospitalized) due to an injury sustained while i was still two weeks with the company as an employee.
ReplyDeletesickness is paid only for days missed
DeleteIm 8 mos pregnant. Already claimed 9 days for threathened abortion on my 3rd month. Then was advised for another bed rest from my 6 month until now (8 months). SSS already approved a total of 73 days on my Sickness Benefits. Since my due date will be this end of September. I can only file for 47 days Maternity Benefit for normal delivery. Is it true that SSS covers a total of 120 days for both Sickness & Maternity Benefits combined and not 120 for Sickness and another 60 or 78 days for Normal or CS delivery.
ReplyDeletei am not sure about the counting - i have had my disagreements with the count so just ask the branch
DeleteHi,does the 5 days notification also applies for weekends and holidays? or working days only./. thanks
ReplyDeleteworkdays
DeleteHi ms. Guia pwede pa po kaya na mgclaim ng sickness benefit after 3'mos.of operation due to removal of uterus..im a voluntary member..minwas hospitalized last may 27 2015.thank you po
ReplyDeleteyes.
DeleteHi good afternoon! I had sore eyes last week and I want to claim my SSS sickness benefit. Our HR said that after they sign my form, I should be the one to go to SSS to process everything. I asked why since according the instructions the employer should send the form to SSS. They said that I have to be examined by SSS because I had sore eyes. Is this for real? I already lost so much work days because of my sickness. Please advise. Thanks!
ReplyDeletei dont like answering people "who say is this for real"?
Deleteyou sound so dubious so i suggest you just call the branch where you filed
Good day po.ask ko lng po kng ilang days bgo ma claim ang sick reimbursment.naapprove po nung aug.28
ReplyDeleteask the branch where you filed. depends on their queue.
