Exciting SSS Updates for 2023: What Every Member Needs to Know
List of SSS Updates for 2023
Stay Informed: The Latest Social Security System Changes
The Social Security System (SSS) continues to improve its services, bringing better benefits and increased accessibility to members. Whether you’re an employee, self-employed, an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW), or a voluntary contributor, staying updated on these changes is essential.
Here are the latest updates that will impact members in 2023:
Digital Expansion: The ExpreSSS e-Learning Portal
As part of its digital transformation, a new e-learning portal has been launched to provide online training sessions for members. This initiative helps users understand benefits, programs, and contributions through interactive learning.
The portal makes educational resources more accessible, ensuring that more Filipinos understand their entitlements and how to avail of them.
High Customer Service Ratings
The agency recently ranked among the top five government institutions with the highest resolution rate for member concerns. This achievement reflects a commitment to improving service efficiency and response times for inquiries and benefit claims.
PRN Now Required for Loan Payments
To streamline transactions, the use of a Payment Reference Number (PRN) is now mandatory for all loan payments.
💡 What This Means for Members:
✔️ Faster payment processing.
✔️ Reduced errors and misallocated payments.
✔️ Easier tracking of balances and due dates.
Members are encouraged to generate their PRN through the online portal before making payments.
Job Order Workers Now Eligible for Coverage
Through a partnership with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), more contractual workers in the public sector now have access to social security benefits. This agreement ensures that these employees can contribute to and receive financial protection.
Growth in Overseas Membership
The number of OFW contributors continues to rise as more Filipinos abroad recognize the importance of securing their future through social security. The agency has been actively promoting its programs, offering flexible contribution options and retirement plans tailored to overseas workers.
Strengthening Financial Assistance in Times of Crisis
During the global health crisis, various assistance programs were introduced to support members. The agency’s proactive approach helped thousands cope with financial challenges through emergency loan programs and extended payment deadlines.
Encouraging Delivery Riders to Enroll
With the rise of the gig economy, delivery riders and freelance workers are now encouraged to enroll as voluntary contributors. By making regular contributions, they can secure benefits such as sickness, maternity, and retirement assistance.
Improved Customer Service via USSSap Tayo Portal
To enhance accessibility, the new USSSap Tayo Portal was introduced—an online helpdesk providing real-time responses to member inquiries. This platform reduces the need for physical office visits, making transactions smoother and more efficient.
Calamity Loan Assistance Now Available
Recognizing the increasing impact of natural disasters, the Calamity Loan Assistance Package offers financial relief to affected members.
💡 Key Features:
✔️ Lower interest rates.
✔️ Quick processing for immediate assistance.
✔️ Available in declared calamity areas.
This initiative provides much-needed support for those recovering from typhoons, earthquakes, and other disasters.
Faster Loan and Benefit Disbursement with DAEM
The Disbursement Account Enrollment Module (DAEM) allows members to receive benefits and loans directly into their bank accounts, eliminating long waiting times and ensuring faster and more secure transactions.
Easier Maternity Benefit Applications
With an improved online filing process, the number of maternity benefit applications has increased significantly. Expectant mothers can now submit their claims digitally, making it more convenient to receive assistance.
