Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) will raise the maximum loan repayment length from seven to ten years.
Nora Malubay, the GSIS core business sector executive vice president, stated in a report interview with CNN Philippines on Newsroom Ngayon that they may be able to implement it by January or February. It should happen sometime in the first quarter of the next year.
“Baka ma-implement na namin nang January or February. Basta po first quarter next year,” Nora Malubay, GSIS core business sector executive vice president, told CNN Philippines’ Newsroom Ngayon.
“Napakalaki pong kaginhawaan niyan dahil po marami nga pong nakiusap na sana po i-extend yung term,” she added.
The multi-purpose loan (MPL) program has an interest rate of 7-8%, and qualified borrowers may apply for a loan up to 14 times their basic monthly salary, capped at a maximum of ₱3 million. Currently, the loan is payable in monthly installments from two to seven years, depending on a member’s premium contribution and employment status.
The MPL program consolidates all GSIS service loans, and those availing it for the first time may enjoy waived surcharges on their outstanding loan balance. This means the program prevents penalties incurred by members for unpaid loans from ballooning and eating up their retirement and other benefits, GSIS said.
Currently, only those with home emergency loan program accounts that are consolidated under MPL may pay the loan for up to 10 years, according to the GSIS.
