    The petitioner Jose P. Tecson claimed death benefits as the designated beneficiary of the late Lim Hoc, a former employee of the Yuyitung Publishing Company and member of the Social Security System. The System denied Tecson's claim. The issue is whether Tecson can claim the death benefits. The court ruled that according to the clear provisions of Section 13 of the Social Security System law, upon an employee's death before retirement eligibility, his recorded beneficiaries are entitled to benefits. Therefore, the court ordered the System to pay Tecson's monetary claim as the designated beneficiary of the late Lim Hoc.

    JOSE P.

    TECSON, Petitioner-
    Appellant, vs. SOCIAL
    SECURITY
    SYSTEM, Respondent-
    Appellee.

    Jurisprudence:
    When the provisions of a law are clear and explicit, the courts can
    do nothing but apply its clear and explicit provisions.

    FACTS:
    The late Lim Hoc, a former employee of the Yuyitung Publishing
    Company, was, at the time of his death on November 3, 1957, a
    member of the System, having qualified as such on September 1,
    1957. In the SSS-Form E-1 accomplished and filed by him with the
    System, he gave his civil status as married, but made no mention of
    the members of his family or other relatives. Instead, he designated
    therein the petitioner Jose P. Tecson, reportedly a friend and co-
    worker of his, as his beneficiary. After the death of Lim Hoc,
    petitioner, in his capacity as the designated beneficiary, filed with
    the System a claim for death benefits but SSS denied his claim.

    ISSUE:

    Whether or not petitioner Tecson can claim death benefits?

    RULING:

    It may be true that the purpose of the coverage under the Social
    Security System is protection of the employee as well as of his
    family, but this purpose or intention of the law cannot be enforced
    to the extent of contradicting the very provisions of said law as
    contained in Section 13, thereof, as follows:

    Section 13. - Upon the covered employee's death or total and


    permanent disability under such conditions as the Commission may
    define, before becoming eligible for retirement and if either such
    death or disability is not compensable under the Workmen's
    Compensation Act, he or, in case of his death, his beneficiaries as
    recorded by his employer shall be entitled to the following
    benefit: ... (R.A. 1161 as amended.)

    FOR ALL THE FOREGOING CONSIDERATIONS, the resolution should


    be, as it is hereby, set aside and annulled, and the respondent
    System is hereby ordered to pay the monetary claim of Jose P.
    Tecson. Without costs.
