The Philippine government will provide a P7,000 medical allowance to civilian government employees, including public school teachers, starting in January 2024.
Civilian government employees, including public school teachers, will receive P7,000 in medical allowance as early as January next year, according to Budget Secretary Amenah F. Pangandaman. Pangandaman issued Budget Circular No. 2024-6 which provided the guidelines on the grant of yearly medical allowance to civilian government personnel after President Ferdinand R. Marcos issued Executive Order No. 64 last August.
All civilian government employees in the national government agencies, including state universities and colleges and state-run corporations, whether regular, casual or contractual; appointive or elective; and on a full-time or part-time basis who rendered at least six months of service will receive the allowance. However, military and uniformed personnel, contract of service or job order workers, job contract workers, student laborers and apprentices, and consultants are excluded from receiving the allowance. The allowance may be provided by government agencies as health maintenance organization (HMO) coverage or in cash to buy their own HMO coverage or renew an existing plan. In case the HMO-type product availed is below P7,000, the employee is not obligated to refund the excess amount to the government. Meanwhile, employees in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas with limited access to HMO providers or with no adequate HMO branch or office may be eligible for cash allowances instead. All government employees who have been provided with a medical allowance must submit proof of enrollment with an HMO provider, such as a certified copy of the HMO agreement or identification card issued, certification of membership or official receipt of membership fee payment. If the allowance was granted in cash, the employee must submit documents to support the use of the allowance for medical expenses, such as receipts of the medical services undertake
