GOOD NEWS, employers!
The state-run Social Security System (SSS) on Tuesday said it will accept applications for the ongoing Contribution Penalty Condonation Program (CPCP) until September 6, 2019.
The Social Security Commission (SSC), the policy-making body of the pension fund, thru Resolution No. 453-s.2019, clarified the deadline of the CPCP from the earlier announcement of September 1, 2019.
Republic Act 11199 or the Social Security Act of 2018 paved the way for the offering of the condonation program for employers.
The transitory clause or Section 31 of the newly-enacted law states that an employer who is delinquent or has not remitted all contributions due and payable to the SSS may do so, within six months from the effectivity of the Act.
The law was signed on February 7, 2019 and took effect on March 5, 2019.
For more information on how to avail the program, employers may visit the nearest SSS branch, or contact the SSS Call Center hotline at 920-6446 to 55, or send an email to member_relations@sss.gov.ph.
