Your Guide to your SSS Inquiries
One of the most interesting topics that SSS female members have been discussing right now is the Expanded Maternity Leave bill.
Basically, what this Expanded Maternity Leave bill wants to happen is to increase the number of paid maternity leave days of pregnant women who are SSS members.
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.
Some SSS members are still unaware that they have to notify the SSS office of their pregnancy as one of the requirements to be able to avail of the SSS Maternity Benefit.
And this often causes issues when claiming their maternity benefit.
The SSS Loan Restructuring Program or SSS LRP will be available again starting April 2, 2018.
To all SSS members who have past due loans with the Social Security System, this is your chance to finally pay off your loans. With LRP, your loan penalties will be condoned or deducted from your loan balance which will make it easier for you to settle your loan.
The SSS Contribution Table 2018 remains the same despite SSS’ proposals for contribution rate and MSC hike.
This means that as of this writing, the maximum contribution rate is still P1,760 with Monthly Salary Credit (MSC) of P16,000 for members who earn ₱15,750 and above.
I have read some comments both on this website and on our FB page that some people are having a hard time accessing their SSS online accounts after the Social Security System has made some changes/updates on the website.
Do you know that aside from going to the SSS branch cashier and other SSS payment centers, you can now pay your SSS Contributions and SSS Loans easily and conveniently using Globe GCash?
Well, you heard it right!
Good news for those who want to get or apply for the UMID or Unified Multi-Purpose Identification card.
You don’t have to wait several months anymore to get your UMID because according to the SSS or Social Security System, you may now receive your cards within 30 working days from your card application.
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.
SSS Retirement benefit is just one of the many benefits that the Philippine Social Security System provides to its members and their beneficiaries.
It is an amount given to the member who can no longer work due to old age and that is when he or she reaches the retirement age of 60 or 65.
