How to Continue SSS Contribution as Voluntary, Self-Employed, or OFW Member

If you are an SSS member and you used to pay your SSS contribution before but have stopped paying for some reasons, you can still retain your membership with SSS and continue paying your contribution.

In order to do this, you must have valid SSS payments in your records. Meaning, if you were previously employed, your employer must’ve remitted your SSS contributions and it must have been posted in your SSS account.

Or, if you are a Voluntary, Self-employed, or OFW member, and you previously paid your SSS contributions, your payments must also show up in your records.

Non-Filipino Citizens who are SSS members can also continue paying their contributions to SSS.

In short, no matter what your SSS membership type is, as long as you have valid SSS payments in your SSS account, you can still continue paying your SSS contributions.

Where to Pay your SSS Contribution?

1. For Voluntary and Self-Employed

You can pay your SSS contribution at the SSS Office (Cashier) or at any accredited SSS Payment Center like SM Business Center or Bayad Center.

Just fill out the SSS Payment Form with your correct information and wait for a few days for your payment to be posted to your SSS account.

2. For OFWs and Non-Filipino Citizens

You may pay your SSS contributions at the accredited overseas e-payment collection centers or you can ask a family member or a representative here in the Philippines to pay your contribution at the SSS Cashier or at any accredited SSS Payment Center.

If you are paying for the first time after you missed your previous contributions, it would be best if you pay it at the SSS Cashier for faster posting.

Also, make sure you keep all your payment receipts in case you need it in the future.
