The RACE campaign has been implemented nationwide to exact the continuous compliance of delinquent employers with their statutory obligations under Republic Act No. 11199 or the Social Security Act of 2018, ensure the social security coverage of members, and enhance SSS’ collection efficiency. Under RA No. 11199, an employer who fails or refuses to register their employees, deduct contributions from them, and/or fails to remit the same, including the employer’s share to the SSS, will be penalized by a fine of P5,000 to P20,000, and/or be imprisoned for six years and one day to 12 years, at the discretion of the court.During the operations, the SSS team from Cebu and Bacolod, led by Senior Vice President for SSS Visayas Operations Group Helen Solito; Vice President, Visayas West 1 Division for Negros Island and Siquijor Province Lilani Benedian, M.D.; and Atty. Ma. Conchita Antipatia of the Operations Legal Department, VW1 Division SSS Bacolod explained what RACE is about and offered options for the non-compliant employers to settle their delinquencies with an aggregate amount of P3.3 million in delinquency. They urged delinquent employers to fulfill their obligations under the Social Security Law as partners in providing meaningful social security protection to the private sector workers. All employers subjected to RACE received a show cause order which they have to respond to within 15 days from the receipt of the notice through availment of the Enhanced Installment Payment Program or the Pandemic Relief and Restructuring Program (PRRP) 3. It offers more flexible payment terms, ranging from nine to 60 months. The program will run until Nov. 22, 2022. “To avoid violations or noncompliance to the SS Law, employers should maintain true and accurate work records of their employees, which include employment records, official receipts for payments of monthly contributions, and loan amortizations,” Solito said. Benedian, on the other hand, encouraged members to regularly monitor their SSS records which can now be easily accessed online by creating a My.SSS account at “Throughwww.sss.gov.ph.theMy.SSS Portal, members can easily verify their contribution and loan payments, apply for salary and calamity loan, and file benefit claims online like sickness, maternity, unemployment benefit, retirement, and funeral at their convenience. Those who need technical assistance with their online registration and benefit/loan application may visit the E-Center of the nearest SSS branch.
