SSS amends guidelines on temporary ACOP suspension

The Social Security System (SSS) amended the guidelines on the temporary suspension of the Annual Confirmation of Pensioners Program (ACOP) following the continuous implementation of community quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic.

SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Aurora Ignacio said under the amended guidelines, pensioners who have not complied with the ACOP for the calendar year 2020 — covering birth months from January up to the end of the quarantine — would continue to receive their monthly pensions until the following month of the last day of restrictive movements around the country.
