What is a lump sum death grant?

If you die while you are an active member, a lump sum death grant of three times your annual pensionable earnings at the time of your death (final pay) will be paid to your surviving spouse or civil partner.

Applications for the death benefit may be filed over the counter (OTC) at any SSS branch office. Death Certificate of deceased member duly registered with the Local Civil Registry (LCR) or issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), if without settled funeral benefit.

Variable amount from a minimum of P20,000 to a maximum of P60,000 if the member/pensioner paid at least 36 contributions up to the month of death. Fixed amount of P12,000 if the member/pensioner paid at least 1 but less than 36 contributions up to the month of death.

Death benefit amount shall be credited to the SPF beneficiary's enrolled bank account in three (3) working days from date of approval.

If you wait until after full retirement age to claim Social Security, you may receive up to six months of retroactive benefits in a lump sum. However, this locks in your monthly benefit at the lower amount from six months prior.

In most cases a death grant is payable of ten times the pension in payment less the total amount of pension already paid. This is known as a ten year guarantee. In most cases a death grant is payable if you have been on pension less than five years.

Unlike traditional funding models, which reimburse specific expenses, lump sum funding allocates a fixed amount to cover the entire project. This model eliminates the need for detailed financial reporting, making the process more efficient for both beneficiaries and funding bodies.

Following the death of a worker beneficiary or other insured worker,1 Social Security makes a lump-sum death benefit payment of $255 to the eligible surviving spouse or, if there is no spouse, to eligible surviving dependent children.
