Hay nako, sobrang tagal yan! A few of us had similar delays with MatBen claims, at parang ang aming employers din ay nag-submit ng documents late or na-hold lang sila kaya delayed ang processing, honestly, it's frustrating kasi kailangan mo na yung benefits right away, especially pagdating sa medical expenses. Siguro mag-follow up ka na directly sa SSS or sa employer mo para malaman kung nasaan exactly ang status ng claim mo, at kung possible, request na para ma-expedite since extended na ang processing time mo from July to December na.
