April 4, 2011 · Filed Under Pag-ibig, investment · 36 Comments 

Puede ko na bang kunin ang Pag-ibig retirement benefits ko?


There are only five conditions wherein you are allowed to get your Provident retirement benefits.

Under the sixth reason — death –  beneficiaries will get the benefits.

Dapat merong applicable sa iyo na isa sa mga sumusunod:

  • You are 60 years old or older.
  • You have 240 monthly contributions or more.
  • You have permanent and total disability.
  • You have been formally separated from service because of serious illness.
  • You have immigrated to the U.S. or another country.
  • You have already retired from the SSS or GSIS or from your company under your retirement plan and you are 45 years old or older.
  • Death. Your legal beneficiaries will get your benefits.

For each of these conditions, you have to submit proofs.

Here is a copy of the Pag-ibig Benefit Claim Form

On the Provident claim form, sa bandang baba, andon yong checklist ng required documents.  Ang required documents depende sa reason mo.

Before you go to Pag-ibig Fund, the best things to do first are to:

  1. List the companies where you worked, addresses of these companies, and dates when you worked in these firms.
  2. Go to Pag-ibig Fund and ask for a copy of your contributions. Go to the Pag-ibig branch where your last company is making its Pag-ibig submissions.  Bring your ID.
  3. Check if all your Pag-ibig monthly contributions are included.
  4. If there are missing contributions, think if these could have been submitted in another Pag-ibig branch. Companies usually make submissions to the Pag-ibig branch nearest to them.
  5. If you need to, request for a consolidation of records.  This is a copy of the Pag-ibig Request for Transfer of Members’ Records form.
  6. If you’re making a claim for your parent or relative, have a SPA or Special Power of Attorney.  This is a copy of the SPA for Pag-ibig Claims.
