Reading Time: 4 minutes 
What is the SSS ACOP Form?
The SSS ACOP form (Annual Confirmation of Pensioners) is a document that SSS pensioners must submit every year to confirm they are still alive and eligible to continue receiving their monthly pension. Without timely ACOP compliance, SSS will suspend your pension payments.
ACOP compliance is required for:
- All SSS pensioners residing abroad
- Retirement pensioners in the Philippines who are 80 years old and above
- Survivor (death) pensioners
- Permanent total disability pensioners
Note: Retirement pensioners residing in the Philippines who are below 80 years old are currently not required to comply with ACOP, unless notified by SSS.

You failed to mention how to get the form, where to send it, what are the requirements, and how to schedule a video conference for those living abroad. I emailed your office 4 times from September, 2025 through March 8, 2026 to schedule an ACOP-VC, but I did not received any response. I am a retiree living in USA. I have done ACOP for the past 4 years through video conferencing but last year when I requested for ACOP VC, it was ignored. Then, you hold my monthly pensions for 3 months now. I hope to receive some info this time. Please let me know.
