If you are an SSS member and have a child who is or may be incapacitated for life?

If so, please ensure that you provide SSS with the necessary information and proof of your child's "incapacitation" or disability or mental health, whatever is the cause - this means that your child will never be emancipated upon reaching maturity.

Moreover, should you and your spouse pass on, your total pension will be given to the child, who must be under the care of a guardian.

An example would be a person with Down's syndrome -  this is a person with an extra copy of a chromosome.  Most individuals with Down's syndrome only reach the age range of 8-12 years old, and will never have the mind and maturity of an adult.

There are other diseases that can incapacitate a child - for example, if the mother was pregnant when she got ill with say scarlet fever - that will affect the child.

Inform SSS as early as you can so that SSS can already tag the child's record so that she/he will receive a pension for the rest of his or her natural life....
