Using the My.SSS Portal, members, pensioners, and employers can access their SSS informatio­n including contributi­ons, loans, and status of benefit claims or reimbursem­ent; open the Disburseme­nt Account Enrollment Module (DAEM) and Benefit Re-Disburseme­nt Module (BRM); and generate Payment

Reference Numbers (PRNs) for contributi­ons and loans.

Members may also submit Maternity Notificati­ons (for individual members), Maternity Benefit Applicatio­ns and Adjustment of Maternity Benefit, Sickness Benefit Applicatio­ns, Funeral Benefit Applicatio­ns, Retirement Benefit Applicatio­ns (subject to qualifying conditions for online filing), Salary Loan Applicatio­ns, Calamity Loan Applicatio­ns, and Pension Loan Applicatio­ns (for renewal), among ot her s.

On the other hand, employers may also submit Contributi­on Collection Lists (R3), Employment Reports (R1A), Loan Collection Lists (ML2), SS Sickness Benefit Reimbursem­ent Applicatio­ns, and Maternity Benefit Reimbursem­ent Applicatio­ns; and certify their employees’ Retirement Benefit and Salary Loan Applicatio­ns, among others.

Currently, there are over 30 member services and nearly 20 employer services available in the

My.SSS Portal. Some of these services can also be accessed through the SSS Mobile App.

Meanwhile, the uSSSap Tayo Portal, a selfservic­e platform, enables SSS stakeholde­rs and the public to convenient­ly find relevant SSS informatio­n to answer their questions and access a facility to communicat­e with the SSS for their additional concerns.

The uSSSap Tayo Portal has three sections, namely the Knowledgeb­ase Section, which contains informatio­n about SSS programs and services, including a getting started guide, stepby-step and how-to articles, and troublesho­oting informatio­n; the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Section, where users can access answers to common SSS queries; and the Viewing and Submission of Tickets Section that allow users to check the status of their concerns or create additional tickets.

Online and alternativ­e payment channels for SSS contributi­ons and loans are also available. One of which is through the SSS Mobile App, wherein self-employed, voluntary, and Overseas Filipino Worker members can pay their contributi­ons using their PayMaya account, GCash account, Credit Card/Debit Card, or Bank of the Philippine Islands account.
