ELI5— what this means for you
If your employer failed to remit ECC contributions, they are personally liable to reimburse the SSS/GSIS for any benefits paid to you. Your delinquent employer's debt to you becomes a lien on all their property.
Key point
Employer didn't pay your ECC contributions? Your benefits are still protected — the employer owes the fund, not you.
