Upgraded my SSS Contribution

Two months ago I was inquiring in SSS of how much can my sister get for her maternity benefits and I was surprised of the amount that she can get. Well, as explained by the employee of SSS, its because she has bigger contributions. My sister is availing the flexi-fund of SSS where you can pay more than what is required and I wanted to upgrade the same as her.

So, I went to the SSS since its time to pay and I decided that I will have my contribution bigger than before. So, I asked for the form and fill it out and the amount, I changed it from my usual contribution but when I reached the cashier, I told her that I will be changing contribution. Then she checked in the system and told me that I cannot avail automatically and I should fill up the form and go to counter 6.

Then I looked at the counter 6 but all I can see is like the unending line, so I told the cashier that I will settle on my usual contribution. I was too lazy to fall in line and find it time consuming that is why I did not bother to upgrade it anymore. But the cashier notice that I am hesitant to fall in line, she then gave me the option.

In order to upgrade my SSS contribution I should not automatically upgrade it from lower contribution to a higher contribution. So, I started the step-by-step upgrade and I am hoping to reach that flexi-fund also. I think its a better investment than paying a thousand bill for my cellphone postpaid plan. Instead of paying that much to my postpaid plan, I want to divert it to FLEXI-FUND of SSS.

Sounds practical and useful. =)
