BANGUED, Abra – The Social Security System (SSS) Bangued Branch and Local Government Unit (LGU) of San Isidro, Abra signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) last May 12, 2023 that will benefit 107 Job Order (JO) and Contract of Service (COS) workers under SSS KaSSSangga Collect Program.
Under the partnership, JOs/COS will be registered as self-employed members of the SSS. Meanwhile, the LGU San Isidro shall facilitate the deduction of monthly contribution from the JOs/COS workers’ salaries and remit these to SSS Bangued as they fall due.
The regular remittance of SSS contributions shall make the JOs and COS workers qualified to social security benefits under the Social Security (e.g. sickness, maternity, disability, retirement, death and funeral); and Employees’ Compensation (e.g. sickness, disability, death) Programs. They can also avail of the short-term loan privileges such as salary, calamity and pension loan.
The “SSS eWheels sa Barangay” was also simultaneously conducted to provide SSS services closer to the barangays and teach its clientele on how to use various digital platforms like the SSS Website, My.SSS Portal, USSSap Tayo Portal, and the SSS Website. Constituents of LGU San Isidro were also assisted on their contribution and loan verifications, disbursement account enrollment, benefit and loan application, and other SSS online services.**
