To claim the SSS death benefit as an OFW, the deceased must be a member of the SSS and have made at least 36 monthly contributions. The legal beneficiaries, such as the spouse or dependent children, should file the claim. You'll need to submit documents like the death certificate and proof of relationship to the deceased. It's best to check directly with the SSS or their official website for the most accurate guidance and to ensure you have all the necessary documents for your situation.
