The Social Security System SSS has assured that the benefits of the 474 workers in the cities of Malolos and San Jose Del Monte will not go to waste. This is after the SSS conducted a Run Against Contributions Evaders RACE or a surprise visit to 15 employers in the said cities who were unable to pay or lacked contributions for their respective workers. In the city of Malolos SSS Malolos Branch HeadFrancisco Lescano said that the nine delinquent employers are targeted to be charged P3.1 million in unpaid contributions on which the benefits of 176 workers depend. According to SSS Luzon Central 2 Division Vice President Gloria Corazon Andrada the agency will charge P2.9 million to six delinquent employers where 298 workers work. He emphasized that the main purpose of RACE is to assist such employers to pay through the Contribution Penalty Condonation Delinquency Management and Restructuring Program CPCoDE MRP. This is by virtue of Circular 2022-021 and 2022-021B issued by the SSS to intensify the charging of delinquent employers where interest and penalties will no longer be paid if payment is not made between March 2020 and February 2022.
