for OVERSEAS PENSIONER

Just a little update.... but i think i need to get a bigger version.  will repost

Reaction to HTT's post last Friday

A long time ago, perhaps not in this blog, i had mentioned that unless individuals were investment-inclined,  they dont bother to really provide for their future, except perhaps to purchase an insurance policy - the just-in-case-scenario of the event of death.   However, it is not always just death that may bring disaster to a family.  Loss of income due to contingencies of many flavors have a higher probability of occurring.  Accidents may disable a person, thereby causing him to lose a major source of his  income.

Hence, i have been antsy about PERA, but no more... i think i may just fall under the not-eligible due to the long wait.  *hay*  the wheels of justice grind very slow indeed!

anyway, ofws have been romanced into paying their contributions as well as paying into a flexi-account.  How nice, and yet, as HTT points out, very few OFWs actually do that note and i dont understand why.

Additional ACOP information - especially for those overseas

All pensioners must present themselves for ACOP during their contingency month:
     for total disability pensioners - the month of disability
     for death pensioners (survivorship) - the month of the member's death
     for retirees - month of retirement, or birthday (when the member turned 60)

Retiree and Death pensioners can report to their banks so that the ACOP compliance done at the bank can be turned over to the Jr/Sr Member Service Representative, Members Service Section of an SSS branch.  This is ANY SSS branch.  All others must report to the same person interacting with the banks.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
Pensioners who will report personally need only the accomplished ACOP form and the SSS Card, or if without the SSS card, 2 valid IDs

Persons who are unable to report personally need the documents above as well as 
     Sketch of Residence and Barangay Certification of pensioner's existence
     if confined in a Home or other such places,  Certification from such Institution
     for residents abroad, valid passport or any 2 valid IDs issued by the country with photo and signature
     for disability pensioners abroad,  Complete physical examination report done within three months
          prior to the last day of compliance and certified by a physician indicating his license number
          and clinic address;  AND  Laboratory or other diagnostic examination results applicable to disability
