I have a question to the Social Security System about its rules and procedures.
A woman farmer lost her husband who was an SSS member. For many years, she was able to tide over the needs of her family, three children through his pension. Then in a bout of loneliness she had a relationship with a man with whom she bore a child. But she never married him and in fact has separated from him already. .
The SSS suddenly stopped her pension and now she has to submit herself to domestic caring for other people in order to survive. Her children are all grown up now but she has a small child to take care of.
Is it righteous and just for the SSS to deny her her pension just because she had a friend who was there when she needed someone to fill up her lonely moments?
I think that the SSS hold on the family of her husband, she included, ended when he died. Therefore, SSS just has to fulfill its obligation of releasing the pension which he deserves and the wife rightly inherits, after having paid all the premiums necessary for him to earn the various benefits.
In the name of humanity, the SSS must look hard at its policies if they are justifiable, according to human rights, and not oppressive to the conditions of the members.
Honorable President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, shouldn't the SSS restore all the premiums that they have withheld from the widows of departed SSS members of the same case as mentioned above?
