Today's Hoy newspaper is reporting that 50 municipalities owe over RD$250 million to the Dominican Social Security System (SDSS). This is in breach of Law 87-01 and according to the paper it affects the wellbeing of the pensions and health of thousands of workers and employees. Topping the list is the National District, which owes RD$140,236,722.90. The Social Security Treasury says that they will submit claims against 200 more business which supposedly have debts with the SDSS and that 24 companies have already be taken to court over the debt. The SDSS also has claims pending against 138 private companies.
In related news the Education Department is rejecting yesterday's report claiming that they owe RD$510,090,123 to the Social Security System (SDSS). Education deputy minister and human resources head Nery Sanchez says that since last year the Ministry of Education has always paid on time, as required by the law. Sanchez says that part of the money that is due each month goes directly to the Social Security Treasury and the other part goes to INABIMA. Yesterday Hoy reported that since 31 December sixty public institutions owe the Dominican Social Security System (SDSS) more than RD$1 billion.
