State pension fund Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) said it will now allow the online reporting of pensioners as an alternative method to the yearly personal appearance requirement or annual pensioners information revalidation (APIR).

“Pensioners may report to GSIS through Viber, Facebook (FB) Messenger, Skype or Zoom after they have emailed the requirements for APIR. This contactless method will protect them from possible Covid-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] transmission as well as ensure the continuous receipt of their pension,” GSIS President and General Manager Rolando Ledesma Macasaet said in a statement on Monday.
