  • Namatay ang aking ama noon june 13, 2017. Nais kulang pong malaman na kung ilang buwan pa ba ang kakailangan para ma claim ang burial benefits namin mula sa sss in fact, madali lang na mn ang prosiso sa mga requirements ng sss piro ang problema umabot ng anim na buwan " 6 mount" ang prosiso,at ang pinaka pinoproblema namin ay hindil lang ito ang documents na kailangan sakatunayan maraming mga documents ang aming kailangan ilang besis na ka ming nagpabalik balik sa NSO, PAO, at iba pa sa ngayon ay na ka kompleto na ang lahat ng requirements na min ngunit hanggang ngayon wala parin kaming natatanggap mula sa SSS.
    kung tutuusin madali lang mag apply ng funeral benefits ayon sa inyong basic forms/documents for applying funeral benefits kaso ang problema tila parang sumubra ata sa buwan or ang pagproseso o due process na ginagawa nnyu ("O di na man kaya nagmamagaling lang ang isang SSS personel na ito") at tila magkapariho ang prosiso ng death claim sa PAG-IBIG at sa funeral benefits ng SSS.
    ayon sa isang personel ng SSS kailangan daw nilang mag conduct ng CI ito ay upang mapatunayan na tunay ang mga impormasyong or dokyumentong hawak namin? Hindi ba sapat ang death certificate, total expenses na nabayad namin sa METRO FUNERAL HOME na e prinisinta manin sa kanya iba pang mga documents o katibayan na nagpapatunay.
    Namatay ang aking ama Sa Mabini, Malangas, Zambuanga Sibugay at dito namin prenosiso ang funeral benefit ng SSS sa Davao Del Norte, Tagum City ..
