Salary Grade Increase for Retiring Public School Teachers
Public school teachers are entitled with Salary Increase upon Retirement as stipulated in the DECS, CHED, GSIS and DBM Joint Circular No. 1¬97, s. 1997, prescribing the guidelines in the implementation of the benefits arising from a one (1) salary grade increase for retiring public school teacher pursuant to Section 26 of RA -1670, otherwise known as “The Magna Carta for Public School Teachers”.
From the Magna Carta for Teachers, "Public school teachers having fulfilled the age and service requirements of the applicable retirement laws shall be given one range salary raise upon retirement, which shall be the basis of the computation of the lump sum of the retirement pay and the monthly benefits thereafter."
The effectivity date of the above mentioned Circular is January 1, 1996. It is therefore directed that all retirees in 1996 be informed of their additional retirement benefits. It is further directed that payments of such benefits should be given priority.

I filed my retirement claim last march 5, 2020 ,then i asked a tentative computation of the benefits. I questioned why is it that the salary grade computed was my present salary grade 13. It should be based on salary grade 14 , but he told me that ,it did'nt take effect yet. I asked him why? That , magna carta sec. 26,of R.A 1670, states , 1 salary grade increase to retirees. I hope that gsis personnel, will follow this . Thanks

ReplyDeleteIf a teacher retires at the age of 55 and has 16 years in government service, is she entitled to one salary grade?
