Practice question
A worker transferred between private and government employment and needs combined periods to qualify. The administrator says totalization permanently abolished the SSS and GSIS as separate systems and therefore all existing benefits and protections may be reduced at will. Which is best?
- The law immediately dissolved both systems
- The worker necessarily loses every prior benefit
- Limited portability coordinates creditable periods and proportional benefits; it does not authorize the claimed abolition or arbitrary reduction
- Every contribution automatically becomes a gift to the state
- Only workers who never changed jobs can invoke the Act
