The Social Security System (SSS) in the Philippines has officially released the payment schedule for pension disbursements from April to December 2025. This announcement is crucial for over 3 million retirees and beneficiaries who depend on their pensions for daily living expenses. The scheduled release allows pensioners to plan finances and monitor their account deposits accordingly.
How the SSS Payment Schedule Works
SSS follows a staggered payment system based on the pensioner’s date of birth. Those born between the 1st and 15th of the month typically receive their pension earlier, while those born from the 16th to the 31st get theirs later. This system ensures faster processing and less system congestion during payouts. Pensioners will receive funds via their registered bank account or e-wallet linked to their My.SSS account.
