    @kremitz Sis pwede ako request ng update pag na settle nyo na yung pag continue sa SSS? Specifically how much ang monthly na ihulog nyo? Nag simulate kasi ako kung dapat pa namin ituloy ni hubby, ang conclusion namin is hindi na eh, nag base ako sa formula from SSS website kun how much pa ang maging investment pag i continue and how much ang return. Since simulation ko lang yun, maybe its wrong. Kaya gusto ko malaman kun magkano ang maging monthly SSS ng mga migrants. Thanks!

    @kremitz Super interested ako sis sa actual na yearly SSS contribution nyo, hope you can share :-) Sa assessment ko kasi, considering na maximum monthly contribution ang sabihin ng SSS, parang malaking amount pa din ng investment kaya we initially decide na wag nai-continue. Yun contribution naman namin ni hubby is both exceeding 120 months, meaning monthly pension pa din ang ma avail namin kahit di ituloy.
    Kun di naman mabigat ang maging monthly or yearly contri, baka ituloy namin.
    Thanks sis.

    @johnvangie there are 4 formula they use. sa SSS website, we can get an estimate of our pension. sad to say, the amount is not attractive especially if you're earning dollars now ( ~ 10500 pesos monthly). pero continue pa din kami hulog SSS :)

    Is it really worth the hassle doing this considering you plan to migrate permanently to Australia eventually and take up the citizenship...

    Just thinking about it as we really never bothered with SSS contribution since we left PH in 2008.

    @IslanderndCity Thanks for the info. Since we both exceed the 120 months contribution, we'd rather not to continue... Medyo malaki din yung 1760 x number of years pa na ihuhulog.
    By the way, what specific number of months do you consider to continue paying for it?
    Thanks!

    @IslanderndCity Thanks for the info. Since we both exceed the 120 months contribution, we'd rather not to continue... Medyo malaki din yung 1760 x number of years pa na ihuhulog.
    By the way, what specific number of months do you consider to continue paying for it?
    Thanks!
    Php1760/month is roughly A$525/yr...

    Mabigat na rin yun ah!! :)

    im also thinking to discontinue my sss. naka 120 months contribution na naman ko. the advantage lang ng continious n paghuhulog, mas malaki daw ang pension na matatanggap. one example are our neighbors, yung isa kase ofw, yung isa local employee. yung ofw, putol putol ang paghuhulog nya, not sure kung ilang months though, while yung local employee continuous till 59 years old. nung nag 60 yrs old na sila, the ofw is getting 3500 monthly pension now while the local employee is 14000. not sure also how much yung monthly contribution nila or kung saang salary bracket sila belong during the time na naghuhulog pa sila.

    problema kasi sa SSS hindi mo mbabawi mga naihulog mo na dati. katulad ko nag work ako pinas ng 7 years ata so mga 84 months din un sayang din. Either pabayaan mo na ung 84 months na un and wait mo nlang ung lumpsum pag 60 years old kna or ipagpatuloy mo hanggang mka 120 months for more possible (?) benefits then stop.
