Early this year, the Philippine Social Security System implemented a new way of paying SSS contributions, and that is by using the member’s Payment Reference Number or PRN.
The PRN is different from CRN (Common Reference Number) or SSS number.
The PRN can be found online by logging in to your SSS online account through My.SSS or by going to SSS website at www.sss.gov.ph.
If you don’t have an account online or if you can’t login to My.SSS successfully, you may request for your SSS Payment Reference Number at the SSS branch or any payment channel or partner.
What’s good about this Payment Reference Number is that your contributions are posted real-time.
Before, it would take days for it to show up on your account specially if you pay at any SSS payment partners. This results to a delay in the processing of SSS benefits.
Where to Pay SSS Contributions Using Payment Reference Number (PRN)
When the SSS started implementing the usage of PRN, there was only a limited number of SSS payment partners that accept SSS contributions.
But as of this writing, SSS has now 15 partner banks and non-bank partners that accept SSS contributions using PRN.
