Facts About SSS Membership Eligibility, Benefits, Retirement, Contribution and Coverage

Many SSS members misquote the fact that benefits of the SSS is directly in accord to having a SS number. In fact, in order for any member of the Social Security System to become eligible to qualify to enjoy or avail of any benefit, he has to be employed first in an occupation. This is apart from securing, applying or getting a permanent SS number. The employer must also be subject to and have to report the employee / member application for his SSS coverage. In short, applying and securing a SSS number will not qualify any member to eligibility of enjoying all or any of the member benefits listed by this government agency in the Philippines.
