The Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF), known as the Pag-IBIG Fund, serves as the government agency overseeing housing programs and benefits for both private and public sector employees. In adherence to Philippine regulations, employers are required to register their employees with Pag-IBIG to extend housing, multi-purpose, and calamity loan privileges.

Registration with Pag-IBIG ensures that your workforce gains access to specific loans and programs supporting housing, property acquisition, and financial necessities. Our comprehensive support encompasses the compilation of necessary requirements and facilitation of HDMF registration, guaranteeing compliance with pertinent government bodies in the Philippines.

Significance of HDMF Registration

Republic Act (RA) 9679 mandates employers to enroll their employees with HDMF, alongside the Social Security System (SSS), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), and Government Service Insurance System (GSIS). HDMF acts as a government safety net offering loans for housing and emergency needs, ensuring that your contributions remain accessible for withdrawal after a specified duration.

Membership with Pag-IBIG permits individuals to apply for loans for residential properties within defined parameters, as well as short-term loans for livelihood, medical, and educational requirements. Additionally, members have the option to withdraw their savings after twenty years of membership or upon completing 240 contributions.

Benefits of HDMF Membership

Apart from housing programs, Pag-IBIG extends various loans to its members:

1. Home Financing: Enabling members to acquire or construct residential properties repayable within 30 years, subject to approval based on income.
2. Savings: Pag-IBIG ensures tax-exempted annual dividends and allows members to refund their Total Accumulated Value (TAV) at the end of their contribution period without imposing annual fees.
3. Calamity Loan: Members residing in calamity-affected areas can loan 80% of their TAV at 5.95% interest per annum.
4. Multi-purpose Loan (MPL): Short-term loans usable for travel, small business funding, bill payments, or home renovation.

Eligibility for loans requires adherence to specific criteria:

• Active membership for 24 months
• Age not exceeding 65 years
• Legal capacity for property acquisition
• No foreclosed housing loans
• Updated payments for existing loans or housing accounts

Documentation Requirements:

Prior to the Pag-IBIG application, ensure the preparation of the following documents:

• Completed Employer’s Data Form
• Specimen Signature Form
• SSS certification (if registered)
• Business or Mayor’s permit

Additional documents based on business type:

• Sole Proprietorship: DTI Certificate of Registration
