Your Guide to your SSS Inquiries
Are you an SSS member? Do you know that you can now inquire about your SSS membership status, contributions, loans, or claims by sending a text message or SMS?
Yes, you heard it right!
“Text-SSS” facility is a text-based information service that allows SSS members to inquire about any of the following info through SMS (short messaging service) or commonly known as text message using your mobile phone.
Many SSS members have been complaining that they cannot access their SSS contributions online and they have varied reasons.
One of the possible reasons why they could not access the SSS website properly is because they’re using Internet Browsers other than Internet Explorer. Maybe they’re using Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari or some other browsers.
The Social Security System of the Philippines (SSS) has recently revised the contribution table for the year 2023.
It is important to be aware of the changes in the rates and rules that apply so you can make sure your contributions are up to date.
If your employer or boss does not remit your SSS contributions, don’t hesitate to report them to SSS!
Don’t be afraid.
You have the right and it’s your right to report them if they miss or if they intentionally don’t pay your SSS contribution.
I’ve been getting a lot of questions from people who for some reasons lost or forgot their SSS number.
Yes, they have applied for SSS number before and is now a member of SSS, but they don’t have their SSS number now, or they simply don’t know where to find or how to get it again.
The Philippine Social Security System has two types of SSS Program Coverage:
For employers and employees, payment of SSS contributions is done through the company/employer that they’re affiliated with and not through the individual member.
Paying the maximum SSS contribution is conclusively the best way for anyone to experience the topmost of benefits that the Philippine Social Security System has to offer including higher SSS pension.
But if you’re only after the pension benefit that you will get from SSS upon your retirement, there might be a wiser alternative in order to maximize your SSS contribution.
