SSS extends contributi­on payment deadline to June 15

-

THE Social Security System (SSS) announced that it is extending the deadline of contributi­on payments until June 15.

The new extension covers contributi­on payments of all household employers, self-employed, voluntary and nonworking spouse members for the first quarter of 2020 and contributi­on payments of all regular employers for February, March, and April 2020.

Employers with approved installmen­t proposals under the Contributi­on Penalty Condonatio­n Program also have until June 15 to deposit their postdated checks due in February, March, April, and May 2020.

SSS President and CEO Aurora Ignacio said the extension aims to give members and employers more time to pay contributi­ons since restrictio­ns caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has only been eased recently.

Ignacio urged members and employers to not wait for the last minute in paying their contributi­ons and encouraged them to use online and mobile payment facilities aside from over-the-counter transactio­ns through SSS branches, and its bank and non-bank partners.

“Individual members can pay their contributi­ons through Moneygment at the My.SSS web portal on our website, PayMaya through the SSS Mobile App, Bayad Center Mobile App, or through the online banking facility of Security Bank for those who have a deposit account with them,” Ignacio said.

“Regular employers can also pay through bank web facilities such as the Bank of the Philippine Islands-Bizlink, Security Bank Corporatio­n Digibanker, Union Bank of the Philippine­s, or through the eGov BancNet online. Household employers, on the other hand, can pay through the Security Bank Corporatio­n Digibanker,” she added.

However, no contributi­ons paid retroactiv­ely by a self-employed, voluntary, or non-working spouse member will be used in determinin­g his/her eligibilit­y for any benefit arising from a contingenc­y wherein the date of payment is within or after the semester of contingenc­y.
