whether permanent, provisional or temporary.

g) Period of contribution – for the private sector, the periods of contribution shall refer to the

 Such other benefits common to both Systems that may be availed of through totalization.

III. TOTALIZATION

1. All creditable services or periods of contributions made continuously or in the aggregate of a

worker under either of the Sectors shall be added up and considered for purposes of eligibility
and computation of benefits.
2. All services rendered or contributions paid by a member personally and those that were paid by
the employers to either System shall be considered in the computation of benefits, which may
be claimed from either or both Systems. However, the amount of benefits to be paid by one
System shall be in proportion to the services rendered/periods of contributions made to that
System.
3. Totalization shall apply in the following instances:

a) If a worker is not qualified for any benefits from both Systems;

b) If a worker in the public sector is not qualified for any benefits in the GSIS; or
c) If a worker in the private sector is not qualified for any benefits from the SSS.

For the purpose of computation of benefits, totalization shall apply in all cases so that the
contributions made by the worker‐member in both Systems shall provide maximum benefits
which otherwise will not be available. In no case shall the contribution be lost or forfeited.

4. If after totalization the worker‐member still does not qualify for any benefit in II(j), the member
will then get whatever benefits correspond to his/her contributions in either or both Systems.
5. If a worker qualifies for benefits in both Systems, totalization shall not apply.
6. The process of totalization of creditable services or periods of contributions and computation of

7. Overlapping periods of creditable services or contributions in both Systems shall be credited
