Para qualified pa rin sa mga benepisyo, tuloy-tuloy lang ang paghulog sa SSS as an Overseas Filipino Member!

There is no need to accomplish any form nor present any supporting document. When generating the Payment Reference Number (PRN) through SSS online facilities such as My.SSS and SSS Mobile App, prior to payment of contributions, member should choose “Overseas Filipino” as Membership Type. This will automatically change the membership status of the member and shall be deemed as declaration that he/she has ceased to be an EE, SE, or a VM member. 

Effects of non-remittance of contribution

A member who fails to remit contributions after membership is approved may only pay the monthly contributions prospectively. The months without posted contributions shall already be considered as “gaps” and back-payment to fill those gaps, or payment of contributions retroactively, is not allowed.

Even when there are periods when no contributions are remitted, the benefits and loan privileges provided by the SSS can still be availed of, as long as the member meets the qualifying conditions for entitlement thereto.

You may also e-mail calgary@sss.gov.ph to request for PRN

Subject: Request for PRN

Body:

• Complete Name with SSS Number
• Months to be paid (Ex. January to June 2025)
• Amount per month (Ex. P3000 per month)

For newly re-activated membership, the SSS account will automatically be active right upon successful payment of contributions.
