To qualify for the SSS educational assistance loan, land-based OFWs must be active members with at least 36 months of contributions. The loan is intended for the education of their dependents, covering tuition and other related fees. Applicants need to submit required documents, including proof of enrolment and the parent's or guardian's SSS membership. It's beneficial to check directly with SSS or their official website for specific details and updated application procedures, as requirements can change.
