CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro (PIA) -- The Social Security System (SSS) conducted another round of visits to non-compliant employers during its simultaneous conduct of the Run After Contribution Evaders (RACE) campaign in Pinamalayan town, April 27.

SSS Calapan Branch Head Imelda Familaran said they served written orders to 10 employers for remittance of contributions and non-submission of the monthly collection list in their office. 

Familaran said out of the 10 employers, they only served written notice to seven of them because three of them have already settled their obligations prior to the actual visitation of the SSS team.

“It is the legal obligation of the employers to be compliant to SSS law as mandated by Republic Act No. 11199 or the Social Security Act of 2018,” said Familaran.

Upon giving the notice of violation, employers who were subjected to the operation were only given at least 15 days to respond to the written notice for settlement of their delinquencies inclusive of penalties after the operations.

During the issuance of written notice, employers were oriented by the SSS staff that affected employees can still avail of SSS benefits such as sickness, maternity, disability, unemployment, retirement, death and funeral, including loan privileges like salary, calamity, pension, and education loan once the contribution delinquencies are settled by the employers.

SSS will assist business employers through the SSS Branch which has jurisdiction over their registered business address.  SSS Calapan Branch can be reached through their number: 043-2882267 or by email to calapan@sss.gov.ph. (LTC/PIA MIMAROPA-OrMin)
