00:00 Even the retirees who are receiving their pension are using the same ATM
00:04 where their ATM card is being used as collateral.
00:07 The SSS has a program to avoid this.
00:11 Let's see.
00:12 Whenever the pension received is not enough,
00:18 some retirees are forced to borrow
00:21 and use their ATM cards as collateral
00:25 where their pension is being used.
00:27 There is no law that prohibits the so-called "Sangla ATM" in the country.
00:31 But according to the Central Bank of the Philippines,
00:34 it can cause problems
00:37 because the cardholders cannot monitor the money being issued
00:41 using their ATM card.
00:43 There could be a delay and withdraw more than the amount of money borrowed.
00:48 To avoid the "Sangla ATM",
00:51 the SSS is urging their retiree pensioners
00:54 to use the Pension Loan Program or PLP.
00:58 The 10% interest on the PLP is lower
01:02 compared to what other people are asking for.
01:05 Qualified retiree pensioners
01:07 can borrow an equivalent amount of 12 months of their pension
01:12 or a maximum loan of Php 200,000.
01:15 The SSS will also ensure
01:18 that they can still get back 47.25% of their monthly pension
01:22 while paying their debt.
01:24 To apply for a loan,
01:26 a retiree pensioner should be under the age of 85
01:30 after paying the PLP.
01:32 The pension status should be active,
01:35 no other loan is being paid,
01:37 and the pension is not advanced under the SSS Calamity Assistance Package.
01:42 The address and mobile number of the pensioner should also be updated.
01:46 They can apply to the nearest branch of the SSS
01:49 or through their My.SSS account.
