SSS Assistant Vice President for Member Loans Department Boobie Angela A. Ocay said.

d) Voc Tech Loan
e) Y2K Loan
f) Investments Incentive Loan

Stock Investment, Privatization Fund and Educ-Assist loans are excluded from the LRP.

Who qualifies for the LRP of SSS?
    The loan must be past due for at least six months and the member must be living or working in a declared calamity area as of the date of the disaster attested through an Affidavit of Residency.

Members granted any final benefit claim prior to the LRP availment period and those who committed fraud against the SSS are disqualified from the program.
