Foreword

In August 2019, as GSIS complies with RA 11032 or “Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018”, the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) took service standards to the next level by coming up with an electronic citizen’s charter dubbed Guide to Transactions and Processes or GTAP.

GTAP is an award-winning self-service facility where members can quickly obtain on-demand information on GSIS services that will guide them in their transactions. GTAP bagged the 2020 Silver Stevie Award for Innovative Use of Technology in Customer Service and a trailblazer in service delivery.

Visually pleasing and engaging with its touchscreen feature and colorful layout, GTAP is installed in the service areas of all GSIS offices nationwide. It is efficient and provides faster access to information because clients may search only the information they need. And since it is digital, we can easily update its content.

GTAP is also environmentally-friendly than traditional billboard or tarpaulin because it does not use paper and does not contribute to waste.

Against the backdrop of the current public health crisis, we have updated the contents of the GTAP, our citizen's charter, to include our commitments for our newly developed contactless transactions.

The following pages unfold our citizen’s charter which sets the tone of our vision to be in the top three defined-benefit pension fund institutions in the ASEAN region by 2022. More than our service standards, it carries our commitment to serve our members, pensioners and other stakeholders in the best way we can.

President and General Manager

Mandate

It insures its members against the occurrence of certain contingencies in exchange for their monthly premium contributions.

GSIS members are entitled to an array of social security benefits, such as life insurance benefits, separation or retirement benefits, and disability benefits.

GSIS is also the administrator of the General Insurance Fund by virtue of RA No. 656 (Property Insurance Law). It provides insurance coverage to government assets and properties that have government insurable interests.

The GSIS covers all government workers except:

  1. Members of the Judiciary and Constitutional Commissions who are covered by separate retirement laws;

  2. Contractual employees who have no employee-employer relationship with their agencies; and

The GSIS does not include Barangay and Sanggunian officials who are not receiving fixed monthly compensation, and employees who do not have monthly regular hours of work and are not receiving fixed monthly compensation.

Vision

By 2028, GSIS will be a world-class pension and insurance institution run by esteemed professionals, using digital platforms to provide excellent customer experience while contributing to nation-building.
