Do you want to apply for SSS Calamity Loan 2020?

Has your finances been affected due to the Covid-19 pandemic?

This blog post is your perfect guide for your SSS Calamity Loan 2020 application. This is the most complete guide that you’ll ever see online.

I have personally applied for this loan so I know all the details and I’m sharing it with you based from my own experience.

I know that we are all affected by this Covid pandemic and this is my way of helping my kababayans who are in need of financial assistance through the Social Security System.

What is SSS Calamity Loan?

The SSS Calamity Loan Assistance Program  or CLAP is a financial assistance given to SSS members who have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Depending on the average of your monthly salary credit in the last 12 months, you may apply for a loan of up to ₱20,000.

You may apply for the CLAP from June 15, 2020 until September 14, 2020.

What are the SSS Calamity Loan Requirements

  1. You must be registered in SSS online portal to be able to apply for SSS Calamity Loan online.
  2. You must have at least 36 monthly contributions, 6 of which should be posted within the 12 months before the month of your application.
  3. You must be a resident of the Philippines which means your home or work address is within the Philippines.
  4. You must not have been granted any final benefit such as Total Permanent Disability or Retirement by the Social Security System.
  5. You must not have an outstanding balance in the SSS Loan Restructuring Program (LRP) and other Calamity Loan Assistance Program (CLAP).

Proof of residence is no longer required to apply for the SSS Calamity Loan 2020 since the entire country has been placed under the state of calamity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

And since the application of SSS Calamity Loan is done online, you don’t need to fill out the hard copy of the SSS Calamity Loan form anymore.

Nagapply po ako ng calamity loan noong July 27. Naapproved ng July 28. Bakit po hanggang ngayon wala pa din sa account ko? 

  • Ang delayed crediting ng loan proceeds ay bunsod ng high volume of applications para sa Calamity Loan Assistance Program (CLAP) na aming natanggap. Ang crediting nito ay maaari po ninyong antabayan sa inyong SSS registered bank account sa loob ng 10 banking days mula sa date of approval ng inyong application na inyong matutunghayan sa pangalawang email / text confirmation na inyong matatanggap.

  • Nais po naming ipabatid na simula July 27, 2020, ang lahat ng member-borrowers na hindi nakatanggap ng kanilang loan proceeds para sa SSS Calamity/Salary Loan bunsod ng closed/invalid bank details ay automatic na makakansela oras na aming matanggap ang report hinggil sa unsuccessful crediting nito mula sa inyong registered bank. Mangyari lamang na hintayin ang SMS/text notification na aming ipapadala para dito.
  • Habang naghihintay, aming iminumungkahi na i-update ang inyong registered bank account sa pamamagitan ng Bank Enrollment Module (BEM) upang sa gayon ay madali kayong makapag-apply muli oras na makansela ang inyong loan application.

Paano po mag-apply ng SSS calamity loan?

  • Maaaring mag-apply ng Calamity Loan Assistance Program (CLAP) ang isang member basta’t umayon sa mga sumusunod na qualifying conditions:
  1. Kailangan na registered sa SSS website para sa online filing ng application;
  2. Nakapaghulog ng hindi bababa sa 36 monthly contributions, kung saan ang 6 dito ay dapat na naihulog sa loob ng 12 buwan bago ang date of application;
  3. Kailangan na residente ng ating bansa. Ang isang residente, para sa layunin ng CLAP, ay isang indibidwal na may home o work address sa loob ng Pilipinas;
  4. Hindi pa nakakatanggap ng final benefit, gaya ng Total Permanent Disability o Retirement;
  5. Kailangan na walang outstanding balance sa Loan Restructuring Program (LRP) at ibang Calamity Loan Assistance Program (CLAP).

Nakapag-file na po ako ng calamity loan noong Aug 3, 2020. Granted na po pero blocked po yung ATM ko sa Landbank ano po ba dapat gawin, need ko po ng pera

  • Sa pagkakataon na kayo ay qualified na mag avail pareho ng Calamity Loan Assistance Program (CLAP) at Salary Loan, kinakailangan ninyong unahin ang pag avail ng Salary Loan at antayin ang approval nito bago mag apply muli ng CLAP. Ito ay upang maiwasan ang automatic deduction ng short-term member loan, gaya ng CLAP, na isa sa mga terms and conditions ng aming Salary Loan Program.

Kapag nauna po i-file ang calamity loan bago salary loan, binabawas po ba talaga yung CLAP amount sa net proceeds ng SL? So ang kaltas po nito yung SL lang dahil paid na with interest yung CLAP? Di po ba dapat wala na interest yun bilang ni hindi po umabot sa deduction date and full payment nung CLAP? 

  • Base po sa terms and conditions ng Salary Loan renewal, kasama pong maibabawas bilang outstanding previous loan balance ang naunang naaprubahan na Calamity Loan.

Yung Calamity Loan ko nabayaran ko na nung nag loan po ako ng Salary. Tapos now mag loloan po ako ng Calamity hindi po ako makapag loan kasi may existing balance po sa Calamity ko na bayad na. Paano po gagawin ko para makapag loan po ako ng Calamity? 

Paano po matatanggap ang SSS Calamity Loan assistance? 

  • Ang Calamity Loan Assistance Program (CLAP) ay maaaring matanggap sa bank account na naka-register sa SSS gaya ng sumusunod:
    • SSS UMID activated ATM
    • Union Bank Quick Card
    • PESONet Accredited Bank – currently, applicable to Union Bank Single Savings Account only (other banks are expected to become available on the following weeks and/or to our next advisory)

Paano ko po malalaman kung granted na ang aking SSS calamity loan application? 

  • Ang SSS benefit/loan at checks ay ineendorso sa PhilPost sa loob ng 3 hanggang 5 working days mula sa date of approval ng inyong applictation. Ito po ay maaari ninyong antabayanan sa inyong itinalagang mailing address sa inyong application sa loob ng 7-10 working days (if withing NCR) o 10-15 working days (if outside NCR) depende sa inyong lokasyon.
