For thousands of Filipino government retirees, the monthly pension from the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) is a lifeline. Pensions cover food, healthcare, and utility bills, making it critical for retirees and their families to know the exact payment dates each month.
The GSIS Pension Schedule for September 2025 has been confirmed, and pensioners can expect their benefits to be credited on time through the e-Crediting system. In this article, we provide a detailed explanation of the payment schedule, eligibility criteria, pension crediting process, and how pensions are calculated, along with answers to common questions.
What is GSIS and Who Can Benefit?
The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) is a government-run social insurance institution responsible for providing pensions, retirement benefits, and other forms of financial security to employees in the public sector.
GSIS differs from the Social Security System (SSS), which covers employees in the private sector. Members of GSIS include:
- Permanent government employees
- Members of the judiciary
- Employees of constitutional commissions
- Retirees from the public sector and their dependents
The GSIS pension ensures that government workers, after decades of service, receive steady financial support in retirement.
