State-run Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) will disburse P3.9 billion in Christmas cash gifts on Thursday Dec. 4, to more than 410,000 pensioners, the first time the benefit is extended to pro-rata and Portability Law retirees.
In a statement, GSIS President and General Manager Arnulfo “Wick” Veloso announced that the expansion of the annual cash gift is intended as a show of support for these groups.
Pro-rata pensioners are defined as those who served at least 15 years but paid premiums for fewer than 15, while Portability Law (Republic Act 7699) beneficiaries qualified by combining contributions from the GSIS and the Social Security System (SSS).
