Social Security System or SSS is very important to any Filipino working from a private company, self-employed, overseas Filipino worker or just a simple household service worker. The member is entitled to several benefits including retirement, maternity, sick and more. It is as important as any insurance to keep our SSS monthly contributions consistently paid to ensure that we will be entitled for benefits. May we share with you the schedule of payment:

Example of paying SSS premiums applying the above information: Let’s say your SSS Number is 0123345789 (note: this is just an example number) and you will be paying your August premium. The deadline is on September 30th. If you were late on payment, you’d be paying penalty fees so you must pay before the deadline associated with your SSS Number. Note: If the deadline falls on Saturday, Sunday or Holiday, the member will be allowed to pay the following day.
