If you’re self-employed, a non-working spouse, or an overseas Filipino worker, you’re on the hook for the full SSS contribution rate. To snag a monthly salary loan, you need to have put in 36 months of contributions. Alternatively, you can have contributed for six months each year.
For employees, no sweat about handling the contribution – it’s sorted. Before 2023, rates were at 13%, and they bumped up by 1% in 2024. Brace yourself for another uptick to 15% starting January 2025. Stay in the loop!
Who is Eligible For SSS Contribution?
If you’re employed, your boss takes care of your SSS contributions, covering both yours and their share. If you’re self-employed, handle it online or via a mobile app. First things first, create an account on the official SSS website and get your SSAS number.
Keep your personal info like name, birthdate, address, and bank details current. Eligibility varies – for retirement benefits, you should be 65 and living in the Philippines, with 120 contributions under your belt. Each SSS program has its own rules, so check the official website for the lowdown on the one you’re eyeing. Stay informed!
