  2. My GSIS pensioner mother, Rosario C. Aumentado, here in Real,Quezon can not withdraw the June pension using UMID issued by UBP Lucena City branch. Some say that umid card can not be used anymore and be replaced by new EMV card issued by UBP Lucena. My mother is 99 y/o already and will be a centenarian this coming Sept.4, 2018 and can not go to Lucena UBP to withdraw over the counter. I am taking care of her alone here. Can I just do it myself instead using authorization letter from my mother? What are the other needed requirements to show? My mom badly needs her money for foods and maintenance drugs. Pls help us. We need the money now and we need the new replacement EMV ID. Pls. reply me ASAP. Thank you!
