Avelina B. Conte, et al. vs Commission on Audit 264 scra 19

AVELINA B. CONTE and LETICIA BOISER-PALMA, petitioners, vs. COMMISSION ON AUDIT (COA), respondent.

G.R. No. 116422 | 1996-11-04

PANGANIBAN, J.:


Are the benefits provided for under Social Security System Resolution No. 56 to be considered simply as "financial assistance" for retiring employees, or does such scheme constitute a supplementary retirement plan proscribed by Republic Act No. 4968?

The foregoing question is addressed by this Court in resolving the instant petition for certiorari which seeks to reverse and set aside Decision No. 94-126 1 dated March 15, 1994 of respondent Commission on Audit, which denied petitioners' request for reconsideration of its adverse ruling disapproving claims for financial assistance under SSS Resolution No. 56.
