The Authorization Letter For SSS Death Claim is a crucial document required when a legal beneficiary of a deceased SSS member cannot personally process their death benefit claim in the Philippines. This document becomes necessary in situations where the beneficiary faces constraints such as physical inability, geographical distance, or other circumstances that prevent them from personally appearing at SSS offices. The letter must comply with SSS regulations and Philippine law, particularly the Social Security Act of 2018 (Republic Act No. 11199) and related SSS circulars. It must include specific details about the deceased member, the grantor (beneficiary), and the authorized representative, along with explicit permissions for claiming the death benefit. The document requires notarization to be legally valid and must be accompanied by supporting documents such as valid IDs, death certificate, and proof of relationship to the deceased.
