Dear SSS,

Magandang araw!

Ako ay isang college student na nagnanais mag-part time work. Nag-apply ako sa isang call center at natanggap ako. Isa sa requirement ay ang SSS number, ngunit wala pa ako nito. Hindi ako makapunta sa branch n’yo dahil may pasok ako sa school. May paraan ba upang makakuha ako ng SSS number nang hindi pupunta sa SSS branch?

Salamat. —Lanie ng Taguig

SAGOT:

Mabuting araw sa iyo, Lanie!

Hindi mo na kinakailangang magtungo sa alinmang sangay ng SSS upang kumuha ng iyong Social Security (SS) number, sapagkat available na ito online sa pamamagitan ng aming website, www.sss.gov.ph.

Inilunsad ito ng SSS upang mapabilis ang pagkuha ng SS number, lalo na ang mga bagong tapos sa kolehiyo at kabataang naghahanap ng trabaho sa unang pagkakataon.

Kasama rin ang online na pagbigay ng SS number sa aming patuloy na kampanya upang palawakin ang kapasidad ng aming website para makapagbigay ng mas magandang alternatibo sa mga over-the-counter na aplikasyon. Sa pamamagitan nito, puwede na ang electronic na transaksyon, sa halip na pipila pa ang aming mga miyembro sa aming mga sangay at opisina.

Gamit ang online application, maaari mong makuha ang SS number sa loob ng lima hanggang 10 minuto. Subalit, temporary pa lamang ang SS number na nakuha mo online, pero maaari na itong gamitin ng employer para bayaran ang kontribusyon mo.

Para maging permanente ang iyong temporary SS number, kinakailangang magsadya ka sa kahit saang sangay ng SSS upang isumite ang orihinal or certified true copy ng iyong birth o baptismal certificate o ibang pang dokumento ng pagkakakilanlan.

Kinakailangang maging permanente ang iyong SS number para makinabang sa mga benepisyo at pautang ng SSS.

Upang makakuha ng SS number, pumunta sa SSS homepage at pindutin ang “No SSS number yet? Apply Online” tab na makikita sa ibabang bahagi ng SSS website.

Pagkaraan ay lalabas ang step-by-step guide na dapat mong sunduin para umusad ang iyong online application.

Kinakailangang ibigay mo ang iyong mga personal na impormasyon gaya ng pangalan, petsa ng kapanganakan at email address. Pagkatapos isumite ang mga impormasyong ito, padadalhan ka ng link sa iyong email, kaya dapat aktibo ang email na ibinigay mo. Sa iyong email address, kailangan mong kumpirmahin ang link na ipinadala sa iyo sa loob ng limang araw kung hindi ay uulitin mo ang buong proseso.

Para makumpleto ang registration, kinakailangang suriin mo nang maigi ang mga impormasyon na iyong nilagay at itama ito kung may mali bago makakuha ng SS number sa online system.

Dapat maging maingat at suriing maigi ang mga personal na datos na iyong ilalagay bago mo isumite. Kapag nabigyan ka na ng SS number, hindi na nila maaaring maitama ang nailagay mong datos gamit ang online system. Maaari lamang itong baguhin gamit ang Member's Data Change Request kalakip ang mga kaukulang dokumento at isumite ito sa alinmang sangay ng SSS.

Pagkatapos ilabas ang SS number, ipapakita sa screen ang personal record at SS number slip. Maaari mo itong i-print bilang katibayan ng iyong online registration.

Magpapadala ng soft copy ng iyong Personal Record (E-1) sa iyong rehistradong e-mail address sa SSS.

The Social Security System (SSS) promoted the benefits of social security coverage to the residents of Sitio Tubigan, Brgy. Dalig, Antipolo City on March 31, 2023. In a caravan initiated by UPLIFT Philippines Microfinance, Inc., SSS Public Affairs and Special Events Division (PASED) Head Carlo C. Villacorta talked to the residents of the said sitio and stressed the importance of SSS self-employed membership and payment of contributions to be eligible to SSS’ various benefits and loan programs. “We like visiting self-employed workers in their communities, most especially those in the informal sector, because we really want to make sure that they are aware of SSS programs and convince them to invest some time and effort to register with the SSS and pay contributions as self-employed members. Self-employed members of SSS are now covered by the Employees’ Compensation Program – providing for additional benefits in case of work-related contingencies,” Villacorta said. To end the brief dialogue, Villacorta encouraged the attendees to share what they have learned with their relatives and friends who are also self-employed so that they too will know the benefits of being covered by SSS. SSS employees from the Cooperatives and Informal Sector Department (CISD) and SSS Antipolo Branch also assisted the residents of Sitio Tubigan with their SSS transactions during the day-long event. For SSS to visit your community, please send an invitation via email to cisd@sss.gov.ph.

SSS releases record-high P5.95B pension loans in 2022

by Info @Brand Zone | April 4, 2023

Social Security System (SSS) President and Chief Executive Officer Rolando Ledesma Macasaet said that pension loan releases in 2022 reached P5.95 billion, the highest annual disbursement for the Pension Loan Program (PLP) since it started in 2018.

Macasaet said that pension loan releases in 2022 almost double the P3.08 billion recorded in 2021. “From January to December 2022, the SSS has disbursed a monthly average of P495.77 million pension loans benefitting 10,660 retiree-pensioners, which is 93% higher than its corresponding monthly average in 2021 of P257.01 million to 5,753 retiree-pensioners.”

“We are delighted that we have assisted many of our retiree-pensioners for their short-term and immediate financial needs. We also prevent them from becoming victims of private lending institutions that charge high interest rates and require them to surrender their ATM cards as collateral,” he explained.

Likewise, the number of PLP applicants grew after the national government ease up community quarantine restrictions in the country, which allowed retiree-pensioners to submit their pension loan applications in SSS branches. “Our records show that a total of 127,920 retiree-pensioners availed from the PLP in 2022, which is 85% higher than the 69,036 retiree-pensioners who availed of the program in 2021,” Macasaet said.

Luzon recorded the highest number of PLP applicants with 30,158 retiree-pensioners amounting to nearly P1.39 billion in pension loans. The National Capital Region (NCR) came in second with 28,239 borrowers amounting to P1.43 billion. Visayas follows it with 17,038 loan applicants amounting to P740 million, and Mindanao with 12,917 borrowers amounting to P590 million. Meanwhile, online application through My.SSS portal had 39,568 loan applicants amounting to P1.80 billion.

The SSS chief said that 69% of the borrowers filed their loan applications through SSS branches while 31% used their My.SSS account in filing their PLP applications.

Macasaet noted that PLP applications through its online portal My.SSS also grew in 2022. “Starting May 2022, SSS enhanced PLP by allowing first-time applicants to file their loan applications using their My.SSS account, resulting in 39,568 approved pension loan applications in 2022, a 963% increase from only 3,721 in 2021,” he added.

“Opening an online facility for PLP borrowers paved the way for more retiree-pensioners to access this loan program. It also offered them convenience because they could submit their application even in the comfort of their homes. Once approved, the loan proceeds are directly credited to their disbursement accounts within five (5) working days,” Macasaet said.

SSS launched PLP to assist SSS retiree-pensioners in their immediate financial needs by offering a loan program with a low-interest rate of 10% per annum.

Macasaet further explained that PLP offers its borrowers flexible installment payment terms ranging from six (6) to 24 months. “We also ensure that the pensioners will still have a net take-home pension of at least 47.25% of their monthly pensions.”

Qualified retiree-pensioners can avail themselves of a loan equivalent to three, six, nine, or 12 times their basic monthly pension plus the P1,000 additional benefit granted in 2017, but not exceeding P200,000.00.
