 RA 8291
Sample Computation -
Age of Member = 60 ; PPP = 33 years ; AMC = P20,000

BMP = (.025 x PPP) (AMC+700)

= (.025 x 33) (20,000+700)
= (.8250) (20,700)
= 17,077.50

Option 1 5 year lump sum = P17,077.50 x 60

= 1,024,650.00 (less indebtedness)

Option 2 18 mos. cash payt = P17,077.50 x 18

 BASIC MONTHLY PENSION SHALL NOT EXCEED 90% OF

AMC
Age of Member = 60 ; PPP = 36 years ; AMC = P20,000

GSIS boosts network speed to improve service

The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) is set to upgrade this August,
its existing telecommunication lines and acquire additional bandwidth for its
branch offices across the country, to further improve its service to members and
pensioners.

Under the project, GSIS will increase the telecommunication lines of remote GSIS
offices to provide fast and reliable wide area network (WAN) connections and
better network infrastructure support to GSIS employees in branch offices.
“A stronger interconnection among GSIS offices will improve productivity and
efficiency of our employees ultimately leading to the faster processing of benefits
of our members and pensioners,” President and General Manager Robert
Vergara said.

The increased bandwidth will also minimize network disruptions for more efficient
sharing of data among offices.
