Pag-IBIG Fund grants grace period and offers special loan restructuring to aid borrowers

Pag-IBIG Fund’s top officials announced ‪on Friday ‪(Sept. 25) that the agency has granted a 60-day grace period on all loan payments and is offering a special loan restructuring program for home loan borrowers in its efforts to provide members financial relief amid the pandemic.

Secretary Eduardo D. del Rosario of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development and Chairman of the 11-member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees, said that they have granted a one-time 60-day grace period on payments of all loans in accordance with Republic Act No. 11494, otherwise known as the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act (Bayanihan 2), while providing its housing loan borrowers in arrears with a Special Housing Loan Restructuring Program to help update their accounts and keep their homes.

“We heed and support President Duterte’s call to help our fellow Filipinos who are experiencing financial hardships brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. We recognize that this pandemic continues to impact jobs and businesses in the country. And so the Board has immediately approved the implementation of the 60-day grace period following the signing of the Bayanihan 2 law and our Special Housing Loan Restructuring Program to provide further financial relief to our members,” said del Rosario.

He added that under Pag-IBIG Fund’s guidelines, the granting of the 60-day grace period will be applied automatically to all loan payments on the agency’s Multi-Purpose Loan, Calamity Loan, and Housing Loan which fall due from September 15 until November 14, 2020. The grace period will give borrowers payment reprieve without incurring any penalty, and interest on interest.

“Under the Bayanihan 2 law, the grace period covers loan accounts with up to 3 months in arrears. But under our approved Pag-IBIG guidelines, we will cover loan accounts with up to 9 months in arrears so we can help more borrowers, specifically those whose incomes were affected when community quarantines were first declared in mid-March. And while the accrued interest is payable ‪until December 31 under the Bayahihan 2, Pag-IBIG Fund will allow payment of accrued interest on a staggered basis during the remaining term of the loan, thus providing for an even longer and easier payment term for our borrowers,” del Rosario added.

The Special Housing Loan Restructuring Program, meanwhile, aims to further help Pag-IBIG housing loan borrowers save their properties from foreclosure. Under the program, borrowers whose finances have been affected by the pandemic may renegotiate the terms of the loan and secure a more affordable payment term. Borrowers can soon apply for the restructuring program online by visiting the Virtual Pag-IBIG ‪until December 15, 2020.

“After our string of ‘best year ever,’ this is the time for Pag-IBIG to show how much we care about our member-borrowers. Under Bayanihan 1, we granted a grace period to 4.77 million borrowers and approved nearly 300,000 applications under our 3-month payment moratorium program. And now, this added grace period and our Special Housing Restructuring Program will help our member-borrowers – especially those who are currently experiencing financial difficulties – even more,” said Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Acmad Rizaldy P. Moti.

“But we also would like to encourage our borrowers who are capable of paying, to continue paying their loans. Better collections will allow us to keep offering loans at low interest rates to more members. Tulad po ng pangalan ng batas, ngayon ay panahon upang magbayanihan. Help us in helping more members because together, we can overcome the challenges we are facing today. Sa ating pagkakaisa, madadaig natin ang pandemyang ito,” Moti ended.

SSS expands benefit, loan disbursement channels; urges qualified payees to enroll bank accounts at My.SSS

The Social Security System (SSS) strengthens its partnership with the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) to expand its benefit and short-term loan disbursement channels.

Through the said partnership, SSS-qualified employers, members, and pensioners may now receive benefits and short-term loan proceeds through the Philippine Electronic Fund Transfer System and Operations Network (PESONet) participating banks.

Qualified members and pensioners may now also receive SSS benefits through e-wallets such as PayMaya or cash pick-up arrangement via DBP Cash Padala Thru M Lhuillier, a Remittance Transfer Company/Cash Payout Outlet.

SSS President and CEO Aurora C. Ignacio said the enhanced disbursement process is already implemented for Unemployment, Funeral, Sickness, and Maternity Benefits, and Salary, Calamity, and Emergency loans, however, the said short-term loans might only be disbursed thru PESONet participating banks.

Starting in October 2020, monthly pensions will also be released through the said method.

"With our strengthened partnership with DBP on PESONet disbursements, we are hoping to expedite the releases of benefits and short-term loans. Upon its full implementation, eliminate disbursements via checks," Ignacio said.

The SSS urges qualified payees and member-borrowers to enroll their disbursement accounts through the Bank Enrollment Module (BEM) found under the E-services tab of their respective My.SSS accounts on the SSS website (www.sss.gov.ph).

Qualified payees and member-borrowers must select their preferred PESONet participating bank, e-wallet, or RTC/CPO and supply a valid and active bank account number, or mobile number for an e-wallet or RTC/CPO.

Bank account numbers must be entered as a continuous string of numbers, while mobile numbers must be in its 11-digit format that starts with 09. Qualified payees and member-borrowers are reminded to ensure the correctness of their disbursement account information in the BEM before enrolling them.

"We are continuously transforming our services into digital processes for our members and the public to transact with us without having to go to our branches. Aside from its convenience, this also serves as a safety measure given the current pandemic situation," Ignacio said.

The SSS has also implemented the mandatory online submission via the My.SSS portal of Maternity Notification and Sickness Notification (for employers); and filing of applications for Unemployment Benefit, Funeral Benefit of SSS-member claimants, Sickness Benefit Reimbursement Claims of employers, Salary Loans, and Calamity Loans.

The online filing of Retirement Benefit applications through the said portal is also required for all members who are at least 65 years old, and for land-based OFWs and voluntary members who are 60 to 64 years old, upon the filing of retirement claim.

For further information, members and employers may call the SSS' hotline at 1455 and follow the SSS page at Philippine Social Security System.
