Here's a breakdown of each: **1. SSS (Social Security System):** - - **Retirees** who are already receiving their monthly pension are no longer required to contribute to SSS. - However, A member who is 60 years old and above, but not yet 65, with 120 contributions or more may continue paying as VM up to 65 years old to avail of the higher amount of benefit.

PhilHealth (Philippine Health Insurance Corporation):** - - **Retirees** who are receiving a monthly pension from SSS are automatically covered by PhilHealth under the Lifetime Member Program. - They are not required to pay further contributions, provided they have met the required 120 months (10 years) of premium contributions. Source:[Philhealth Website](https://www.philhealth.gov.ph/members/senior/) **3. Pag-IBIG (Home Development Mutual Fund):** - - An individual at least 18 years old but not more than 65 years old may register with the Fund under voluntary membership. However, said individual shall be required to comply with the set rules and regulations for Pag-IBIG members including the amount of contribution and schedule of payment. In addition, they shall be subject to the eligibility requirements in the event of availment of loans and other programs/benefits offered by the Fund. **Source**: [HDMF Circular No 460](https://www.pagibigfund.gov.ph/document/pdf/circulars/provident/Circular%20No.%20460%20-%20Guidelines%20on%20the%20Pag-IBIG%20Fund's%20Implementation%20of%20Increase%20in%20the%20MFS%20Effective%20February%202024.pdf) These details provide a general overview of the contributions and benefits for retirees under SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG Fund.
