Contribution payments that are past due not only incur penalties but may also affect members’ benefits claims in the future. Employers must always make sure that the remittance of members’ contributions is timely and intact. However, there may be situations where payments are not remitted because of other unforeseen circumstances. To help employers address this kind of issue, we will discuss in this article the processes for the late remittance of HDMF contributions.
The first step is to fill out the latest Membership Savings Remittance Form (MSRF, HQP-TMF-381) and consolidate in one (1) MSRF all unpaid premiums of all employees, whether in months or in years.
Below is a sample, filled-out MSRF.
Below will be your guide to completing the Membership Savings Remittance Form (MSRF):
Examples:
Indicate ‘202301’ for MS remittances covering January 2022.
Indicate ‘202302’ for MS remittances covering February 2022.
Second, request the computation of penalties. Bring the Membership Savings Remittance Form to the nearest branch or send the form via email to the designated branch. Kindly state your preferred date of payment for their reference in computing the penalties.
Then, once you have the estimated penalty computation, submit the MSRF in Excel format to the nearest branch or concerned branch on or before your preferred payment date stated in the second step. Save the softcopy on a Universal Flash Bus (USB) or flash drive. Portable Document Format (PDF) or Word format shall not be accepted.
Finally, pay the premiums stated in the MSRF together with the penalties computed in the second step. Secure proof of payment.
Employers may also apply for the penalty condonation offered by the Pag-IBIG agency. However, this is still subject to HDMF assessment as to whether the requesting company will be granted penalty condonation. The procedure for applying for a penalty condonation will be covered in more detail in the following article. Stay tuned!
