QUEZON CITY – The Social Security System (SSS) and the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) have strengthened their partnership to expand access to social security protection for members abroad and their families through the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU).
SSS president and chief executive officer Robert Joseph Montes de Claro and CFO chairperson Secretary Dante “Klink” Ang II led the signing ceremony, reaffirming both agencies’ shared commitment to advancing the welfare and interests of Filipinos overseas through stronger inter-agency cooperation.
Under the MOU, SSS and CFO will collaborate on information, education, and communication (IEC) initiatives to increase awareness among OFs on SSS membership, benefits, loan programs, and the MySSS Pension Booster. The partnership also aims to enhance access to social security services and empower Filipinos abroad to make informed decisions in securing their financial future and protecting their families.
“This MOU marks another significant step in strengthening the partnership between SSS and CFO,” de Claro said. “Through this collaboration, we aim to reach more overseas Filipinos and provide them with the knowledge they need to access SSS programs and services that support their financial security and well-being.”
The agreement builds on the agencies’ existing collaboration since 2025 through the KaSSSangga Collect Program, which supported the expansion of SSS coverage among the job order and contract of service workers of CFO.
Through this strengthened partnership, SSS and CFO will continue to work together in promoting social protection programs and ensuring that more overseas Filipinos and their families can benefit from enhanced access to social security services.
