DILG clinches a deal with SSS for social security coverage of its job order

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Social Security System (SSS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for social security coverage of DILG’s own job order or contract of service workers which was commemorated by a virtual signing ceremony held on 16 August 2021.

Under the MOU, DILG’s contract of service and job order workers will be classified as self-employed members of SSS. Government contract of service and job order workers are not covered by the Government Service Insurance System due to their employment status. Through the MOU program, those working in the DILG will be covered by the SSS and can avail of SSS benefits in times of contingencies.

The MOU also states that the DILG will act as the Coverage & Collection Partner of SSS.As a collecting partner, SSS authorized the DILG to collect and remit their monthly contributions through a salary-deduction scheme under SSS’ KaltaSSS-Collect Program.

According to SSS President and CEO Aurora C. Ignacio, if these contract of service and job order workers ceased to work from the DILG, they can still continue paying their SSS contributions as voluntary members so they can still enjoy the benefits and loan privileges provided by SSS. 

The MOU also allows DILG permanent or regular employees to join the program and continue paying contributions as voluntary members. DILG Assistant Secretary Dijan said that their agency is looking forward to the partnership that will benefit their job order and contract of service workers. She added that with the MOU, DILG accepts its role in assisting interested workers to register or enroll at SSS and in ensuring the prompt remittance of their SSS contributions.
