The Internet has really made life easier for many Filipinos, including members of the Social Security System (SSS) who no longer need to visit the SSS branch to transact with the agency. That is because SSS members can now perform most transactions online through the My.SSS portal. Members can freely register for an SSS online account and be able to access their membership records, apply for loans, view their contributions, generate payment reference numbers (PRN), and many more – all in the comfort and convenience of their homes.

In the past, you had to personally visit the SSS office to do business with them. You know how much of a hassle it is to go to their office, fill out some documents, and then wait for your number to be called. Sometimes, you have to return the next day because you forgot to bring your requirements or for some other valid reason.

With the My.SSS portal, you don’t need to go to the SSS branch and wait in line. You only have to open your computer or mobile phone, login to your SSS online account, and perform your transactions right there and then. You can easily monitor all your premium contributions to make sure that you didn’t miss a payment.

A few transactions that you can do with your SSS account are:

  • View your membership information
  • Update your contact details
  • View employment history
  • Schedule an online appointment
  • Access your contribution records
  • Apply for salary, calamity and pension loans
  • Apply for unemployment benefits
  • Request for member data change (simple correction)
  • Request records
  • Submit retirement or funeral claim application
  • Generate payment reference number (PRN)

Some transactions that require the submission of original documents (e.g. birth certificate) – such as correction of name or date of birth – necessitate a personal visit to the nearest SSS branch. For most transactions, however, you don’t need to go to the SSS. In fact, some transactions such as salary loan applications are done almost exclusively online.

If you’re an SSS member interested in a quick and easy way to view your membership records and apply for social security benefits, it’s highly recommended that you register for an SSS online account. Every SSS member – whether compulsory or voluntary – is encouraged to register for a My.SSS account. The entire registration process, including account activation, is done online using your PC, laptop or mobile phone.

  • UMID Card – Don’t select this if you have not yet been issued a UMID Card.
    • UMID Card PIN code – The UMID card must have already been activated in the SSS Information Terminal located at selected SSS branches. Read this article to learn more about the UMID Card PIN code.
    • Mother’s Maiden Name reported in the E6 – UMID Card Application Form – If you don’t have a PIN code, enter your mother’s maiden name.
  • Employer ID Number / Household Employer ID Number

After providing the required information, solve the captcha (“I’m not a robot”) and check “I accept the Terms of Service.” Click “Submit” to continue.

If everything goes well, you will see the following message: “You have successfully submitted your SSS Web Account Registration application. Kindly check your email for the system notification. Thank you!”

Step 3: Activate your account

Wait for the email from SSS with the subject “SSS Web Registration.” If you didn’t receive the email after a few minutes, you can try checking your Spam folder. Open the email and click the link inside the email.

You’ll be directed to the password setup page. But first, you need to enter the last 6 digits of the CRN or SS number you entered during registration. For example, if your SSS number is 0632031234, then the last 6 digits are 031234.

Click “Submit” to proceed.

SSS account activation
Activate your SSS account

It’s time to set your My.SSS account password. Follow these guidelines for setting up your password:

  • Contains 8-20 alphanumeric characters (letters and numbers only)
  • The first character must be alphabetic (letters only)
  • No special characters (* @ # %)
  • At least one character must be in uppercase
  • At least one character must be a number
  • Must not be the same as your user ID

After typing in the password twice, click “Submit” to complete your registration. You will immediately be taken to your My.SSS account page after successful activation.

Passwords are valid for 6 months, after which you will have set a new password. If you lost or forgot your SSS account password, follow the instructions in this article to reset it.

Common Registration Problems

You didn’t receive an email

There are three possible reasons why you didn’t receive an activation email from the SSS:

  • You provided the wrong email address.
  • The email ended up in the Spam folder.
  • The email has not yet arrived.

If you are sure that you supplied the correct email address during registration, you can try checking the Spam folder of your email account to see if the email ended up there. You can also wait for an hour or two for the email to arrive.

The activation link is good for up to 5 days, so you have plenty of time to activate your account. If 24 hours have passed and there’s no sign of an activation email yet, you may repeat the registration process.

Registration is unsuccessful

If your SSS account registration is unsuccessful, you will receive an email informing you of the exact reason. It could be that you entered the wrong registration preference, such as the mobile number, PRN, employer ID number or savings account number.

If you don’t know any of the available registration options, you may request it from the SSS either by visiting the nearest branch or by emailing [email protected]. Provide a valid ID for verification purposes.

Final Thoughts

Your My.SSS account offers a convenient and hassle-free way to check your contributions, apply for benefits, request records, modify your membership data, and many other transactions that are normally done in person. Save countless hours and energy by registering for your SSS account online today!

If you have any questions or concerns about SSS online account registration, call the SSS toll-free hotline 1-800-10-2255777 (1-800-10-CALLSSS) or email [email protected].
