| INTRODUCTION |
The concept of social security evolved from an age-old
search of man for protection against poverty, which breeds grave
social ills that not only threaten his survival but also erode his
sense of human dignity. It, therefore, becomes the duty of the State
to operate a mechanism that would provide such protection to its
people.
Legislative History
On Jan. 26, 1948, Pres. Manuel A. Roxas proposed
a bill seeking to establish a social security system for wage earners
and low-salaried employees. This was recommended to Congress in
his State of the Nation Address.
After the death of President Roxas, Pres. Elpidio
Quirino created the Social Security Study Commission on July 7,
1948. The creation of the commission was his first official act
upon his assumption to office. Based on the report of the Study
Commission, a draft of the Social Security Act was submitted to
Congress.
In 1954, Rep. Floro Crisologo, Senators Cipriano
Primicias and Manuel Briones introduced bills based on the report
of the Social Security Study Commission in the House of Representatives
and in the Senate. These bills were consolidated and enacted into
Republic Act (RA) 1161, better known as the Social Security Act
of 1954.
However, business and labor groups objected to the
Social Security Act resulting to a deferment of its implementation.
In 1957, amendatory bills were presented in Congress.
These bills were the bases of RA 1792, which amended the original
Social Security Act.
On Sept. 1, 1957, the Social Security Act of 1954
or the Social Security Law (SS Law) was finally implemented, marking
a significant milestone in the social security program.
Thus, with the implementation of the SS Law, the
government also adopted the social insurance approach to social
security, covering the employed segment of the labor force in the
private sector. In 1993, household helpers earning at least P1,000
were included in the compulsory coverage of employees.
In 1980, some groups of self-employed persons were
also required to contribute to the social security fund from which
benefits are paid upon the occurrence of a contingency provided
by law. Self-employed farmers and fisherfolks were included in the
program in 1992 while workers in the informal sector earning at
least P1,000 a month such as ambulant vendors and watch-your-car
boys, were covered in 1995.
The Social Security System (SSS) administers social
security protection to workers in the private sector. On the other
hand, the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) takes care
of workers in the public sector.
The SSS administers
two programs namely:
1. The Social
Security Program; and
2. The Employees’ Compensation Program (EC).
Social security provides replacement income for
workers in times of death, disability, sickness, maternity and old
age.
On May 1, 1997, Pres. Fidel V. Ramos signed RA 8282,
further strengthening the SSS. Also known as the Social Security
Act of 1997, it amended RA 1161, providing for better benefit packages,
expansion of coverage, flexibility of investments, stiffer penalties
for violators of the law, condonation of penalties of delinquent
employers and the establishment of a voluntary provident fund for
members.
The EC program, started in 1975, provides double
compensation effective June 1984 to the worker when the illness,
death or accident occurs during work-related activities. EC benefits
are granted only to members with employers other than themselves.
SSS used to administer the Medicare program for
hospitalization and other medical needs of the private sector workers;
and the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), for the public
sector workers. However, with the passage of Republic Act 7875 or
the National Health Insurance Act of 1995, the SSS and GSIS transferred
the administration of the Medicare program to the Philippine Health
Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) for an integrated and comprehensive
approach to health development -effective July 1999.
SSS retirement,
death and total disability pensioners prior to the effectivity of
RA 7875 on March 4, 1995 are entitled to hospitalization benefits
under PhilHealth. Pensioners upon the effectivity of RA 7875 on
March 4, 1995 and thereafter, are no longer covered except when
they meet the qualification requirements set by PhilHealth.
