CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro (PIA) — More than 100 Mindoreños have been assisted by the Social Security System (SSS) through its e-Wheels program during the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) opening of the Civil Registration Month in Calapan City on February 12.
SSS Calapan Branch Head Redentor A. Imperial said that SSS brought its e-Wheels to the event to help members and prospective members in their transactions.
He explained that SSS e-Wheels is an enhanced on-site initiative offering SSS members and non-members an alternative venue for SSS transactions through vehicles, laptops and SSS branch personnel in grassroots communities.
“Ang SSS e-Wheels ay nandito upang magdala ng serbisyo sa mga myembro at kahit na hindi miyembro upang mapadali ang kanilang mga transaksyon,” Imperial said.
Among the services offered to Mindoreños were updating of member data, compliance to the Annual Confirmation of Pensioners (ACOP) Program, My.SSS registration and generation of Payment Reference Number (PRN).
Imperial added that the SSS e-Wheels provided convenience to members because they no longer have to visit the branch office for their SSS-related concerns.
“While it is meant to extend membership and services in far-flung areas, the SSS e-Wheels program also promoted the value of being an SSS member. It was an opportunity to give our stakeholders accurate and relevant information on SSS benefits and programs and teach them how to navigate our online platforms such as the My.SSS Portal and SSS Mobile App,” he said.
Imperial said that SSS e-Wheels is set to visit the towns of Bongabong, Roxas and Bulalacao to bring SSS services closer to Mindoreños residing far from the town center. (AS/PIA MIMAROPA-Oriental Mindoro/With information from SSS Calapan City)
