Your SSS Online Membership Registration Guide

Your SSS Online Membership Registration Guide

The Social Security System (SSS) is the social insurance program of the Philippines for all individuals who are employed or self-employed in the private and informal sector. Their services focus on providing meaningful and accessible financial protection to their members and their families against untoward circumstances such as sickness, disability, old age, and death. 

Members of the Social Security System or SSS will be entitled to a wide range of benefits such as the following among others:

  • retirement benefit
  • disability benefit
  • maternity benefit
  • funeral grant
  • Salary loan
  • Student loan

While formal employment will automatically sign you up to become a member, registration online is done at your own will. Having an online account in SSS may not bring monetary benefits to your membership, but it will make their services easier to use and take advantage of if you do so. You can also read through our guide on everything about SSS contribution and benefits to give your a more thorough understanding on what the SSS is all about.

So, if you want to have a hassle-free transaction with this government agency, you’re better off doing it online, in the convenience of your own home.

Here’s how you can get started!

What is SSS online or My SSS?

An online SSS account makes it easier for members to keep track of their monthly premium (whether or not their employers are consistently paying for it), apply for SSS loans, file claims, and make inquiries about their account. 

My SSS is the term used for an SSS member’s online account.  Do take note that only registered SSS members are allowed to create an online account in the SSS portal. If you haven’t been registered in SSS yet or have no formal employment in the past, chances are you need to register for one first at the nearest SSS Branch to get started.

How to check your SSS contributions online

One of the key benefits of having an online SSS account is the capability to check your SSS contributions anytime where you have access to the internet. It’s an extremely simply feature that provides immeasurable convenience. 

We’ve all been there, queueing in an SSS branch will take half a day even if it’s just for an inquiry as simple as checking your contribution. You can finally skip the queue and check your contributions effortlessly with an online account. 

Here’s how you can do that!

  1. Log-on to https://www.sss.gov.ph/ and enter your user id and password on the text boxes provided.

  2. On your dashboard, click the “E-services” link. Then click “Inquiry” and select the actual premiums on the member info tab.

The dashboard will then show your monthly contribution since the beginning of your contribution (for most people their first formal employment) until the present.   

Quick tips

Crosscheck the contributions of your employer to your most recent deduction. Most contributions are posted quarterly, so having two to three months delay (to the present month) in your contribution is still normal.
