House·20th Congress·Filed Jul 16, 2025
An Act Granting Universal Social Pension and Introducing a Tiered System of Social Pension for Indigent Senior Citizens, Amending for the Purpose Republic Act No. 7432, as Amended, Otherwise Known as the "Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010"
In plain language
The bill would create a non‑contributory monthly cash grant of at least ₱1,000 for all senior citizens, give indigent seniors a minimum of ₱1,000 now, give other seniors ₱500 now (rising to ₱1,000 for everyone within five years), and increase the amount for those 75 + and 90 + years old. The amount would be reviewed every two years, funded through the DSWD budget (later the NCSC), and the program’s administration would shift to the NCSC within three years.
