Bi-Annual Submission of Pensioner's Survey Form
The OCA Circular No. 10-2017 mandates that all Judges Pensioners and Survivorship Pensioners in the Philippines submit a bi-annual Pensioner's Survey Form every January and July to ensure the timely release of their monthly pensions. This submission includes a completed survey form, a recent full-body photograph with a newspaper, the original newspaper front page, and copies of two government-issued identification cards. The form serves as proof of life and pension entitlement, and failure to comply may result in delayed pension payments. Additionally, pensioners must declare their compliance with regulations regarding public office and legal representation while receiving their pensions.

OCA CIRCULAR NO. 10-2017
| TO | : | All Judges Pensioners and Survivorship Pensioners |
| SUBJECT | : | Bi-Annual Submission of Pensioner's Survey Form |
In a number of occasions, pensioners (both Judges and surviving spouses of Judges), have raised their concerns on the delayed or non-receipt of monthly pensions/survivorship pensions. This has been traced to the late or non-submission of Pensioner Survey Forms.
To show proof of life and pension entitlement, a duly-accomplished Pensioner's Survey Form (copy attached), together with the supporting documents, is required on a bi-annual basis, or in January and July of every year, before the monthly pensions are released.
To avoid delay in the release of monthly pensions, all Judges Pensioners and Survivorship Pensioners are strictly enjoined to REGULARLY SUBMIT every January and July of every year to the Employee's Welfare and Benefits Division (EWBD), Office of Administrative Services (OAS), Office of the Court Administrator (OCA), Supreme Court, Manila, the following:
1. Duly-accomplished sworn Pensioner's Survey Form administered by the Executive/Presiding Judge having jurisdiction over the place of pensioner's residence;
2. Most recent full-body picture of the pensioner holding the front page of the most recent issue of a newspaper of national circulation (any size);
3. Original copy of the broadsheet's front page held in photo; and
4. Copies of at least two (2) current identification cards/documents issued by an official agency bearing photograph and signature of the pensioner, such as Senior Citizen's card, Passport, Driver's License, PRC ID, Postal ID, or any government office ID.
Inquiries relative to the Pensioner's Survey Form may be coursed to the EWBD, OAS, OCA at contact number (02) 5234893.
For strict compliance.
This Circular shall take effect immediately.
