DAGUPAN CITY, June 27 (PIA) — Application for membership with the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF) or the Pag-IBIG Fund may now be done thru the Internet.

Susan de Vera of Pag-IBIG Fund Dagupan City said registration can be done any day of the week by logging in at www.pagibigfund.gov.ph.

An applicant only needs to fill out an electronic registration form at the website, said de Vera during the Pantontongan Tayo radio program of the Philippine Information Agency over DZMQ Radyo ng Bayan.

The data to be encoded include personal details, cellphone number, names and birthdates of beneficiaries, Tax Identification Number (TIN), and Social Security System (SSS) number.

The client must then print out two copies of the Member’s Data Form (MDF) and submit this directly to the Pag-IBIG office or thru the employer, she said.

The MDF bears a Registration Tracking Number (RTN), which will be assigned to the client as a temporary account number while the application is still being verified.

Verification takes no longer than three weeks, she said noting that the client will receive confirmation of the application thru text.

Once the application has been confirmed, the client will be assigned, in place of the RTN, a permanent Pag-IBIG Membership ID, which can be used by the client regardless of changes of employment, she added.

Meanwhile, de Vera advised clients to keep their account numbers handy when they transact as the Pag-IBIG Fund no longer accepts payment from clients without their numbers.

Payment of contributions is still done manually, however, but the office is working to automate that also, she added.

For more information, contact 523-3048 or visit the new Pag-IBIG Fund office here at Rodel Bldg., Perez Blvd. cor. Guilig St. where the Central Bank was previously located (ANL/ARRF-PIA 1 Pangasinan)
