Members of the Social Security System who have not yet received the UMID card for which they have applied are now eligible to receive a free upgrade to an ATM Pay Card, which will make it simpler for them to apply for benefits and loans, according to a statement released by the state insurer on Thursday, November 24.
The UMID ATM Pay Card can be use by members as both an identification card and a debit card. Allowing them to receive SSS loans, claim proceeds, and make refunds using the card.
Additionally, it may be use to make cashless payments at any retail or online store, and it can also be use to withdraw money from an ATM or an online bank transfer.
