Why Check Your SSS Contribution Online?
Verifying your monthly premium contributions regularly is worth the time and trouble.
✔️ If you’re employed by a company, you need to make sure that your employer is actually remitting the correct amount and is doing it without delays.
✔️ If you’re a self-employed or voluntary member, monitoring your SSS contributions will let you know immediately if you have any missed or incorrect payments so that you can make the necessary adjustments as early as possible.
Why should you be meticulous about your contribution payments? To qualify for an SSS loan or benefit, you need to meet the required minimum monthly contributions within a certain period.
For example, when you apply for an SSS loan, you need to have at least 36 posted monthly contributions within the last 12 months.
