“Regardless of the severity of inquiry or complaint, we ensure that we act on it promptly and accurately as we give our best to provide wide-range of SSS benefits and services to over 35 million members,” he added.

“For example, if the retiring member has discrepancies in his date of birth or name, he should correct it now for easier processing of his retirement benefit,” he said.
