MANILA - State pension fund Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) will launch two mobile apps by the end of the month so that members can access their GSIS records and file their motor vehicle insurance claims using only their smartphones.

The two apps are dubbed "GSIS Touch" and "MV Claim," the Department of Finance said in a statement on Thursday.

“GSIS Touch,” will allow active government employees to view their member service profile and service record, keep track of their premium remittances and loan payments, and know the maturity of their life, retirement, dividend, refund and Edu-Child claims, pre-need plans, and insurance policies.

It will also let retired government employees view their monthly pension releases and loan payments.
