THE Social Security System (SSS) has introduced a new digital option for pensioners to comply with the Annual Confirmation of Pensioners (ACOP) program. Beginning today, March 10, 2026, retirement and survivorship pensioners registered under the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) may now complete their ACOP compliance online through facial authentication with liveness check.
This innovation leverages the National ID eVerify system to confirm pensionersโ identities, eliminating the need for personal appearance at SSS branches in many cases. By capturing a live facial image and matching it with PhilSys records, the system ensures secure and accurate verification. Once successful, pensioners receive a confirmation message indicating ACOP compliance.

SSS emphasizes that facial authentication is not a replacement but an added option to make compliance more accessible. Pensioners are strongly encouraged to register with PhilSys to benefit from easier identity verification and smoother transactions in the future.
