What is the minimum social security pension in the Philippines?

Effective September 2025, the Social Security System (SSS) in the Philippines is implementing a multi-year increase that will set a new minimum guaranteed monthly pension of ₱2,200 for qualified retirees with at least 120 monthly contributions. Previously, the minimum pension was dependent on the member's years of service. This change addresses concerns that many pensioners, especially those with lower salary credits, receive insufficient amounts to meet basic living costs.
