Sinisikap ng House Committee on Overseas Workers, sa pamumuno ni Rep. Jesulito Manalo (Party-list, ANGKLA), na maipasa ang panukalang batas na magkakaloob ng “retirement benefits and welfare assistance” sa overseas Filipino workers.
Pinag-iisa ngayon ng komite ang tatlong panukala -- ang House Bill 3746 na inakda ni Rep. Rodante Marcoleta (Party-list, SAGIP), na naglalayong lumikha ng Overseas Filipino Workers Social Security and Retirement System; HB 547 ni Rep. Gary Alejano (Party-list, MAGDALO), na nagsusulong ng Overseas Filipino Workers Pension Fund; at HB 7228 by Rep. Winston Castelo (2nd District, Quezon City), na magkakaloob ng special pension fund sa OFWs.
