Second Weekday Of Retirement

Yesterday, I called the SSS Call Center by dialing 1455.  I wanted to know if I have to go physically to their branch in order to update my home address.  I can update the mailing address, mobile number, and email address via My.SSS.  I wanted all my information correct before I apply for the retirement claim.  I also learned that the number coding scheme is still not in place.  Thus, I can walk in to any of the SSS branches.

Left the condo around 9:30 AM with my (black) Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right.

First stop is at SSS Makati-Chino Roces.  When I arrived, there were still not much people.  Must be because of the inclement weather.  Thus, I was able to update my information in a breeze.  I would just apply for the retirement claim online upon arriving home.

Next stop is PhilHealth.  We thought that their office is along Buendia Avenue.  Nope.  Their new office is at Chino Roces Extension--PhilHealth Magallanes Service Office.  I have my records updated even got a PhilHealth card.

For lunch, we went to Mongolian Quick Box at Waltermart.

Mongolian Quick Box


Proceeded to Glorietta, where I bought a slipper at SM because the shoes I am wearing will have to be repaired.  This means, I would be walking around the mall wearing the new slippers while Edgar would be bringing the shoes to Mr. Quickie for repair. LOL  Have the IDs laminated at National Bookstore--the Senior Citizen Card and the PhilHealth Card.  That is when I noticed that the address in the PhilHealth Card is wrong!!!  Oh, no... I have to go again to PhilHealth to have it corrected.  Maybe on Thursday after my meeting with my cousins.

Since I have to buy medicines, I would try using my Senior Citizen Card for the 20% discount.  That's when I learned that I must have the prescription to get the discount.  Good thing there is the Unilab-Mercury Drug partnership where I can avail the medicine at 22% off.  And so,  I will have to use the Senior Citizen Card at a later time. 😀

Then, home.

N.B. I was trying to apply for the Retirement Claim in SSS but keep getting an error.  Thus called our office and was advised to do it last week of November as there is still an incoming contribution to SSS for October.
