State-run Social Security System announced that the replacement fee for the Unified Multi-purpose Identification card was reduced to P200 from the current rate of P300.
SSS president and chief executive officer Emmanuel F. Dooc said members who opt to replace their old SSS ID cards or those who have lost their UMID cards can now enjoy the P100 reduction for the replacement of their IDs.
“We are happy to announce to our members that the proposal to reduce the replacement fee to P200 was already approved by the Social Security Commission [SSC] headed by chairman Amado D. Valdez,” Dooc said.
Based on SSC Resolution No. 604-s.2017, the Commission approved the reduction of the cost of UMID card replacement since the cost of data capture service as well as the card production with the ID card provider were also reduced.
