Understanding AFPPGMC and the Need for PSA Certificates

The AFPPGMC is the government agency responsible for managing pension funds of retired AFP personnel, civilian employees of the AFP, their beneficiaries, and dependents. This agency ensures proper computation, processing, and release of pension benefits to eligible individuals.

Retired AFP members must regularly update their living status to avoid disruptions in pension payments. PSA certificates serve as official verification documents in this process, confirming the pensioner’s identity and eligibility for benefits.

Unlike traditional paper certificates, PSA E-Certificates for AFPPGMC pensioners are delivered electronically directly to the AFPPGMC office.

Types of PSA E-Certificates Available for AFPPGMC Pensioners

PSA Birth Certificate

The PSA birth certificate is a primary requirement for AFPPGMC pensioners. It serves as an official document that establishes the pensioner’s identity, date of birth, and citizenship. This certificate is essential for verifying eligibility for pension benefits.

PSA Marriage Certificate

For married pensioners, a PSA marriage certificate may be required when updating records with the AFPPGMC. This document confirms the legal union between the pensioner and their spouse, which affects beneficiary entitlements in certain situations.

PSA CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage Record)

The CENOMAR verifies that a pensioner has not contracted any marriage after retirement. This document is particularly important for verification purposes and helps the AFPPGMC ensure that pension distributions remain accurate according to the pensioner’s current status.

PSA Death Certificate

In cases where a pensioner has passed away, beneficiaries need to submit a PSA death certificate to process the transfer of pension benefits. This document officially confirms the pensioner’s death and initiates procedures for transferring benefits to eligible family members.
