How can I pay my SSS contribution?

If you are a business owner, professional, OFW or a voluntary contributor, you are very well aware of the hassle of paying for your Social Security System (SSS) contributions.

Because if you were an employee before, you didn’t really have to think about all that because your employer took care of remitting your contributions for you by deducting it from your salary.

But now that you are considered by the SSS as an individually-paying member (self-employed, voluntary, non-working spouse, and OFW), you have to make the payments yourself.

As of this writing, the only means to pay for your SSS contributions are the following. (Taken from the SSS Facebook Page)

(To get the latest and most updated payment channels, feel free to visit the SSS Facebook page.)

It is very important to note, however, that you need to get a Payment Reference Number (PRN) first before you pay at any of the payment channels mentioned above. 

What is a PRN and why do I need to get that to pay any SSS transaction?

The Payment Reference Number or PRN is simply a system-generated number that the SSS provides and that members use as reference whenever they pay for their contribution.  

This is a requirement by the SSS as part of its Real-Time Processing of Contributions (RTPC) program — which ensures that contributions being paid by its members are posted immediately to their records and allows members to avail of their benefits as SSS members without delay.

How to generate a Payment Reference Number (PRN) the old way

Before, to get generate this PRN, members would either have to:

  • Go to the SSS website (you have to register first)
  • Visit one of their branches
  • Call the SSS helpline at 920-6446 to 55 (Mondays to Fridays only) or
  • Email them at PRNHelpline@sss.gov.ph.
