(Eagle News) — Those who receive their pension benefits from the Social Security System during the first five days of March will get them a little later.
In a statement on Thursday, SSS said the “slight delay” was “due to enhancements in the e-disbursement system, which caused the delayed release of funds to the partner-banks.”
The agency said the system enhancements were necessary to ensure “better service delivery.”
“The SSS, however, assures the pensioners who might be affected of the delay that they will receive their monthly pension starting March 6,” the agency said.
