MANILA, Philippines —  The Social Security System (SSS) is set to release up to P8,000 in financial assistance to qualified members covered by the expanded United Package for Livelihoods, Industry, Food and Transport (UPLIFT) aid program tomorrow.

The latest payout covers members with monthly salary credits (MSC) not exceeding P10,000, the state pension fund said in a statement.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) UPLIFT assistance consists of four tranches worth P2,000 each, which will be credited directly to beneficiaries’ registered SSS disbursement accounts.

The DSWD, in coordination with SSS, earlier expanded the program to provide additional assistance to qualified members with MSCs not exceeding P10,000, beyond the assistance previously available to members with up to P20,000 MSC.

However, the SSS said an MSC not exceeding P10,000 does not automatically entitle a member to UPLIFT Assistance.

To be eligible, members must have paid at least one SSS contribution in 2025 or 2026 and be included in the Philippine Statistics Authority’s 2024 Community-Based Monitoring System database.

They must also have enrolled their disbursement accounts through the SSS Disbursement Account Enrollment Module within the prescribed period.

Members are advised to check their My.SSS accounts for official notifications on their eligibility.

Meanwhile, qualified members with MSCs of P20,000 are scheduled to receive the third and fourth tranches, amounting P4,000 on Nov. 6. This follows the DSWD’s release of the first and second tranches of aid earlier this year.
