I’m currently a voluntary member of SSS or the Philippine Social Security System, and I pay my contributions quarterly. Today is July 10 and it is the last day to pay my contributions for the last quarter which includes the months of April, May, and June 2015.
I went to SM, where I usually pay my SSS contribution through their Business Services, and it’s the nearest and most convenient payment center for me. I was lucky because I was accommodated immediately and I didn’t have to wait and line up in long queue like what I normally do.
In this post, I will share with you some information and tips on how and where to pay your SSS contributions as a Voluntary, Self-employed, or OFW member.
- How much should you pay for your SSS Contribution?
Your contribution is based on how much your compensation is. Below is the latest SSS Table of Contribution of 2015. The minimum contribution for SE (Self-Employed), VM (Voluntary Member), and OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) is Php 110 if your compensation ranges from Php 1,000 to Php 1,249; while the maximum is Php 1,760 if it ranges from Php 15,750 and higher.
- When to Pay your SSS Contribution?
For Household Employers, Self-Employed, and Voluntary Members except OFW members, you can pay your contributions on or before the deadline. The payment deadline falls on the month following the applicable month or quarter.
For example in my case, since I need to pay my contributions for the previous quarter including the months of April, May, and June, the payment deadline is in July. What specific date in July? Here’s the guideline.
- If the 10th (last) digit of your Social Security Number ends in 1 or 2, the deadline is on the 10th day of the following month.
- If the 10th (last) digit of your Social Security Number ends in 3 or 4, the deadline is on the 15th day of the following month.
- If the 10th (last) digit of your Social Security Number ends in 5 or 6, the deadline is on the 20th day of the following month.
- If the 10th (last) digit of your Social Security Number ends in 7 or 8, the deadline is on the 25th day of the following month.
- If the 10th (last) digit of your Social Security Number ends in 9 or 0, the deadline is on the last day of the following month.
In my case, the last digit of my SS number is 1, and the deadline of my payment for the last quarter (April, May, June) is the 10th of the following month, and that’s today, July 10.
Why is it important to know the payment deadline?
Because if you miss to pay on or before the deadline, you won’t be able to pay your contributions for the previous months. SSS does not accept retroactive payments.
- Where to Pay SSS Contribution as a Voluntary Member?
There are several payment centers and options where you can pay your contributions.
SSS Payment Facilities
- SSS Main Office – Cashiering Department
- SSS Branch Tellering Counters
- CIS Bayad Centers
- SM Business Centers
- SSS-accredited Commercial Banks
For Members Abroad
- I-Remit
- PNB Overseas Payment System
- Ventaja
- How to check if your payment was accepted and posted online?
- Go to sss.gov.ph (preferrably with Internet Explorer)
- Log in to your SSS Online Account (If you don’t have it yet, you have to register first. Click HERE to know how).
- At the E-Services Page, hover your mouse over Member Info, and under that, click Actual Premiums. (Click HERE to see my video on this).
I also created a video to guide you on how, when, and where to pay your SSS Contributions.

I need this.Love your page Janice, very informative as always 🙂
Hello Sarah! 🙂
Thanks for visiting my site.
Glad it helped! 🙂
mam bakit po ganun hndi po ako mkaregister. Iam using mobile to browse internet, everytime I open the link on how to register it always shows the “unsecured” paano po yan.
Can i pay sss contributions via bdo online?
I believe we can’t pay SSS through BDO Online.
I also checked it before, and it wasn’t one of the options.
You can now pay your SSS contributions and loan repayments online! The first multi-bank payment gateway where you can transact in a secure, real time environment using your BancNet ATM card.
how about to use mastercard to atm for payment of sss?
Hi ms janice. Im planning to pay at sm for my salary loan. May i know how many days will it takes to post on my sss?
Not sure exactly how many days, but I often check it the week after and it’s posted already.
hi mam janice! ask ko lng po if pde po mgbyad ng sss loan ko khit employed po ako? pra po mkpgloan agd ako. at ilang working days po ung posting? and khit saan po b pde mgbyad khit nd po s mismong hinuhulugan ng employer ko?
most likely they update your sss payment online every quarterly or every 3months , that is what i noticed, and asked sss officers and they said they posted it almost every 3months
Hi Janice!
If I pay in Business Centers like you do, do I still use the usual payment form from SSS? Or they have their own form that needs to be filled out?
Thanks!
Hi Venus,
No need to bring the SSS form because they have their own form at the SM Business Center.
Great! Thanks. Really helpful 🙂
Thanks Venus, glad it helped! 🙂

Could I pay SSS through BPI Transfer Funds?
Hi Lan, unfortunately, we can’t pay directly through BPI Transfer Funds.
Only employers can, as far as i know.
Hi Janice,
My niece is currently not employed but I would like to help her contribute as a voluntary member to her SSS so that it will help her in the future. She already has an SSS number. Do you have a link to the SSS form so that I can see what type of information they are asking?
Also, looking at the SSS contribution table, I would like to put the 495 pesos contribution. Does that mean somewhere on the form she has to put a monthly salary credit of 4500?
Hi Janice,
Also, as a voluntary member, what happens if she stops payment for a particular quarter? Is there anything stopping a voluntary member from stopping their payments?
Thanks,
Gary
It’s okay if there are lapses in her contributions.
However, SSS does not accept retroactive payments.
tama yan sini siguro nyo . bat gaoonn.. ang sabi nang nag subment kmi ng papers mag 2 weeks lng.. tapus nong na flow-up mga 2 to 3mos.. na naman . ANO BA TALAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hi Gary,
Thanks for your comments.
Thanks also for your email. Sorry just got the time to reply comments here.
Btw, here are some videos I created about SSS.
Hope this helps.
Hi Janice,
Another question – My niece tried to register a login for my.sss. It keeps saying she has an invalid sss number. I noticed her sss number is only 9 digits. Is that normal? It was from back in early 2000 I believe when she got the sss number.
Thanks,
Gary

Hi Janice,
I recently resigned from my job to go into business .I’m planning to continue my SSS contribution as a voluntary member but I would like to continue paying the last amount of contribution my previous employer paid. With this, do I have to file something to change membership status or can I just go directly to any authorized payment centers to pay my contribution as voluntary? Bdw, base on my sss no. my payment date is on the last day of the month or qtr. I will be paying b4 Sept. ends. Thank you.

I want to pay my sss contribution using my BDO mastercard debit card on atm, is it possible in abroad?
Hi Miss Janice. Just want to ask kase i stopped working na for about 3 years and i was not able to continue my contributions. Add to that is i have a Salary Loan which i have not paid yet (imagine the accumulated penalties!). Anyway i just want to know if i could pay again this time my contribution as voluntary and is there anything i need to do to change my payment status e.g employed to voluntary? I would deal with my loan next. Hoping to hear from you.
Hello po..i just want to ask if pwede pa akong magclaim ng mraitnety benefits. OFW po ako sa canada and 4 months pregnant..updated po ang pagbabayad ko ng SSS..they said, they must be notify 60 days from the date of conception. My consideration po ba para sa mga OFW na hindi agad makakuha ng ultrasound as a proof?
Hi Miss Janice. Do you have an idea kung gaano katagal bago mapost ng SSS if payment was made through SM Business Center? Nagbayad po kase ako last Feb 5 pero nung ngcheck ako sa SSS online today, ndi parin xa posted. Thanks.

Hi. I went to pay my mother’s SSS contribution at Savemore but the teller said the contribution of Php 1,760 was not an acceptable amount. I tried at another mall. Same thing. But I have paid 1,760 for the past 2 quarters of 2016 and now I’m passed the deadline date by 4 days. Is there no way to pay for the past quarter? I also looked at the contribution table of SSS it is still Php 1,760. She’s a voluntary member and we opted for the highest contribution.
