How to Pay SSS Contributions Online

Have you paid your SSS contributions lately? The Social Security System (SSS) is a government-run, social insurance program for Filipino workers. Whether you’re a business owner, a professional, an overseas Filipino worker (OFW), or a voluntary contributor – you can be a member of the SSS and avail of its benefits.

Upon reaching 60 years old, SSS members are entitled to receive a lifetime monthly pension, provided that they have made at least 120 contributions. Members can also avail of maternity benefits, sickness benefits, and involuntary separation or unemployment benefits. They can also apply for salary loans or calamity loans, in cases of emergencies and natural calamities.

If you are a worker in the private sector, you probably don’t have to think much about SSS contributions, since it is your employer who remits these through salary deductions. On the other hand, if you are self- employed, an OFW, or a voluntary member – then you’ll have to make these contributions yourself. Fortunately, there are different ways to pay SSS contributions.

How to Pay SSS Contributions

Member can pay their contributions through any SSS Tellering Branch nationwide. They can also make over-the-counter payments in partner banks (e.g. Asia United Bank, Bank of Commerce) or even in “non-banks” like CIS Bayad Center, Inc. (CBCI) and SM malls.

Of course, if you prefer to pay your contributions online, this is very much possible, too! Banks such as Security Bank and Union Bank provide Internet banking services, including payment of SSS contributions. Similarly, you can use a digital wallet like GCash for the same purpose. You could also download the SSS mobile app, which enables payments via Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) debit card/credit card, as well as through PayMaya e-wallet.

Before making any payments, however, be sure to get a Payment Reference Number (PRN) first. This is a system-generated number that helps facilitate real-time processing of SSS contributions. You can generate a PRN through the SSS website (online registration is required), by calling the SSS Helpline (920-6446 to 55), or by sending an email to PRNHelpline@sss.gov.ph.
