What senior citizen benefits are available in the Philippines for families of overseas Filipino workers OFWs?

A Kalinga PH Team Answered by

In the Philippines, families of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) can access various senior citizen benefits under the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010 (RA 9994). These benefits include discounts on essential goods and services, access to social pension programs, and healthcare services through PhilHealth. OFWs can also inquire about additional support for their elderly family members, such as assistance with home care or nursing facilities. For specific eligibility criteria and to understand the application process, it's best to check with local government offices or the official PhilHealth website.
