The ₱1,000 SSS pension increase in September 2025 is actually a percentage-based hike, not a flat amount for every pensioner, with deposit dates varying by account number and easy online status checks available.
Pension Increase Details
All SSS pensioners will receive a 10% increase for retirement/disability and 5% for survivorship pensions each September from 2025 to 2027.
