GSIS DISABILITY BENEFIT REQUIREMENTS – Here are the documents needed in applying for the GSIS Employees Compensation Program.
Disability, most especially the permanent one, is something that no one wants. However, to those whom it happened following an incident, it was also beyond their expectation that things will lead to it. That is why some social insurance institutions made sure that their members have something to turn to when the unwanted happens.
One of the government institutions in the Philippines that have a benefit offer for its members who might encounter such unwanted situation is the Government Service Insurance System. More popularly called the GSIS, it is one of the biggest social insurance institutions in the country.
Most of the members of GSIS are individuals who are currently working in the Philippine government and the public sector and those who have worked in the government before. They contribute an amount monthly as savings based on the amount they earn each month.
The accumulated savings can qualify a GSIS member to the benefits offers by the state-run social insurance institution. The number of total contributions is often part of the eligibility requirements set by the government institution.
