The Philippine Social Security System (SSS) addresses the Partial Disability Benefits to its members who, following permanent partial disability, cannot work anymore. This program also runs in effect in 2025, providing financial support to these qualified members by then in exchange for their incapacity.
A glass of summary on the SSS Partial Disability Benefit for the 2025 year, including its payment dates, amounts, and qualifications.
What is the SSS Partial Disability Benefit?
The SSS Partial Disability Benefit is refined extensibly to provide some form of financial assistance to those members exhausted from partial but permanently disable-defficulties, conditions such as losing a finger, a hand, a leg, or an eye. This subsistence pay establishes a partial substitute for the pay lost due to inability to work with full earning power.
SSS pays monthly pensions or a single cash payment, depending upon the considerations of the payment of contributions and the severity of the disability.
Eligibility Criteria for the 2025 Partial Disability Benefit
To qualify for the SSS Partial Disability Benefit in 2025, you must:
- Submit medical proof and certification of the disability.
- Be an SSS member with at least 1 monthly contribution before the disability occurs.
- Have a medical condition classified as a partial disability (e.g., loss of body parts, hearing loss, etc.).
- Have paid at least 36 monthly contributions to qualify for a monthly pension.
- If contributions are less than 36 months, you may receive a lump sum payment instead.
How Much Can You Get?
The SSS Partial Disability Benefit is based on the number of contributions and the severity of the disability. The payment can be:
Lump sum payment – If your contributions are less than 36 months, you receive a one-time lump sum equivalent to the monthly pension multiplied by the number of credited months.
Monthly pension – If you have at least 36 monthly contributions, you receive a monthly pension calculated based on your average monthly salary credit and the percentage of disability.
SSS Partial Disability Benefit 2025 Payment Dates
The partial disability benefit from the SSS shall have the same payment schedule with the regular benefit. A member who is receiving a monthly pension receives his or her payment on the 1st or 16th day of each month, depending on his or her UMID card number or his relevant bank account details.
Lump-sum payments are made within 2-3 months following approval and are duly credited directly to the registered bank account of the member. The beneficiaries must check their SSS accounts online to verify the dates for the year 2025. Alternatively, outcomes about the payment schedule may be inquired at any SSS branch.
