^Sis, ako voluntary contributor ako.  Yung hulog mo varies (look for SE/VM/OFW total contribution).  Dyan ka pipili.  Note na hindi pwede paiba iba ang hulog mo.  Pwedeng every two years increase mo yung hulog mo to the next available amount.  I do suggest na towards your 10th year, saka mo taasan ang iyong hulog.

Same as what our other sister said, you can make your hulog quarterly. 




Ganito ang deadline:

If for Jan, Feb or March... deadline is April 10.
        Apr, May or June ... deadline is July 10.
         Jul, Aug or Sept ... deadline is Oct 10.
        Oct, Nov or Dec .... deadline is Jan 10.

You can pay either quarterly or monthly if you want.  Basta take note of the deadlines for every month.  You can also pay in advance.  Let's say for the whole year.  But you cannot pay for previous months basta nag natapos na ang deadline.

sis ask ko lang regarding sa deadline na sinasabi mo naconfuse kase ako.. bakit sabi mo every 10th of the month? i have cousin kase na nagwowork sa sss and he told me na every 20th of the month daw ang deadline pag quarterly..  alin ba talaga na confuse ako bigla eh.


edit ko lang post ko, base sa nakita ko eto po yung deadline of contribution pag self employed o kaya e pag employee..

^Yep.  Sorry for the mistake.  Its every 20th of the month, as confirmed by my friend in SSS.

[vanillamist]

ok thanks sis.. kinabahan ako kase diba holiday bukas and kung 10 deadline i have to pay it now eh busy ako sa work. hehe.. thanks sis!

[harlet]

pwede namang magbayad sis till 20th kahit di quarterly ang payment di ba? say, for April premium pwede ka magbayad hanggang April 20....

Ask ko lang medyo OT pero regarding Philhealth. After 10 years, pwede mo rin makuha ang lump sum?

Common misunderstanding po ito... Philhealth is a sort of MEDICAL INSURANCE... meaning, covered ka for a period na nagbabayad ka... parang kotse, pag bayad ka ng insurance for a certain year, pag nabangga ka, makaka-claim ka... pag di ka na nagbabayad, wala na...

so unlike SSS, walang long term pension or lump sum na makukuha sa philhealth after years ng paghuhulog... pero ang meron ata sila ay lifetime insurance for those senior citizens na nakahulog ng 10 years (although kumplikadong process ito at mahirap ang approval)...

hi mga sis! ask lang po. nag member ako sa SSS last 2003 pa. since then hindi ko hinulugan SSS ko kasi self employed ako. ngaun gusto ko sya hulugan sayang din kasi. ano po dapat ko gawin kung gusto ko maghulog as voluntary member? kapag self employed baka hanapan pa ko ng ITR eh. pwede bang mag fill up na lang ako ng RS5 form sa mga bayad center like SM payment center then checked the amount na gusto ko bayaran? TIA

personally, that's what i did.  I wanted to continue my SSS contributions when i left the private sector so i opted for voluntary membership.  specifically, i went to SM Southmall coz they have a counter dedicated to SSS payments (plus its accessible to me).  i filled up the RS5 Form (you only have to enter your sss number and other personal details) then i indicated the amount i wanted to contribute.  SM machine validates the RS5 form and prints out a receipt too.  I even observed that in this method, my contributions are always updated (i always check my contributions online kasi)

[bhabycj825]

^ thanks sis. ganun na lang din gagawin ko. 

[chickgirl]

sis helencons how do you checked your contributions online? kasi dati i can still check it pero since nagkaroon na ng password i can't access my own profile na. thanks

[theflygirl]

IMO, worth it naman kahit papano ang SSS contribution. After leaving the working world, tinuloy ko monthly contributions as a voluntary member. I already tried getting a salary loan nga pala before and I was able to claim the maximum allowed maternity claims. I have 4 kids na kasi. I just got my last claim check yesterday.

[helencons]

sis helencons how do you checked your contributions online? kasi dati i can still check it pero since nagkaroon na ng password i can't access my own profile na. thanks

i enrolled online, required to have a password na and they'll send an email confirmation so you can activate your account.

i work abroad and im thinking to continue my SS contributions here.. i have a somehow weird question ;-)

kasi sa mga naririnig ko with whats happening with the GSIS money being corrupted and all .. possible kaya dumating sa point na you dont get your pension kasi nakurakot na yung money? kasi hindi ba sabi nila madami daw ghost employee who avail of the loans and all .. so ayan medyo jaded lang sa government institutions kasi if not id rathe get another insurance company for my retirement though i already have one ... hahha sorry kung medyo paranoid ..

basically is SSS "that" stable? i mean corruption proof? .. TIA!

[bhaby.angel05]

my cousin is not working pero may source of income naman sya. [textspeak!] ba sya mag voluntary contribution sa SSS? previously employed sya pero she resigned a year ago.

[mumsita]

Hi, mga sisses, baka me makatulong sa akin, I'm working abroad & I started my voluntary contribution nung 2008, my sis paid it every month in the Phils. kasi nga last Oct 2009 I tried to pay here through money exchange, yung payment ko is for July-Sep 2009 but until now when I checked my contributions di pa rin na ka post. Dahil s nangyari I decided na pabayad ko n lang sa sis ko sa Phils pero me resibo ako nagaling s sss na binigay ng money exchange nito lang march 2010. Also, Aug & Oct 2009 din nagbayad ako ng salary & calamity loan na di ko nabayaran since nag abroad ako. Ang nangyari kasi nagbakasyon ako s Phils. nung Jul 2009 at nagpunta ako sa sss para matsek ko kung magkano ang loan na dapat kong bayaran. Binigyan ako ng printout at yung 1 staff told that may loan condonation daw cla hangang dec 2009 ang babayaran ko lang [textspeak!] principal loan ko so ang laki ng nabawas, then I asked the staff pano ko ito babayaran, sabi nya pirmahan mo ito at dalhin mo [textspeak!] pagnakabayad ka na which is yun din ang narinig ng sis ko, na that time kasama ko. Sabi ko pa nga pwede ba ang sis ko na lang ang magbayad dahil flight ko n s 1 linggo sabi nya oo daw pwede naman at dahil yun ang instructions nya yun ang ginawa ng kapatid ko. Nang nagbayad ang sis ko s sss counter using the form n binigay sa akin para sa pagbayad ng loan. Pero when I checked my loan last week me utang pa rin ako kahit na naka post na [textspeak!] payment ko. I asked my sis to go to sss then they told that na kailangan daw na mag fill up ng loan condonation pero wala naman clang sinabi kaya nagkipag argue yung sis ko dahil 2 kami nakarinig ng instructions nya. Ang sabi pa nila na  yung loan payment ko ay pumasok as regular loan payment daw. I'm thinking bat di alam ng counter sa sss na may condonation dapat inadvice din nya yung sis ko regarding s form pero wala naman sinabi pinapunta lang nya yung sis ko sa isang table at me pumirma ng resibong binayaran nya. At yung nag sign d rin tinignan at basta nag sign na lang, siguro naman dapat 1 sa kanila eh nagtaka kung bakit ang laki ng binayad ng sis ko, my sis paid more than 8K  (salary loan) at 5K (calamityloan). If they gave  proper instructions & info  e di sana wala na akong loan na dapat bayaran. I already sent a mesage to their email which I thought will help me to solve my prob but til today walang reply from them.

hi mga sis, ask ko lang po.. yung husband ko kase dati dito na nagwowork sa pinas binabayaran sya ng employer nya tapos nag abroad sya ako na ang nag continous ng bayad nya as ofw. every month ako nagbabayad ok lang ba yun?? nalalakihan kc ako pag quarterly eh.. and isa pa po nung una bayad ko sa knya is 575 tapos ginawa ko 520, ok lang din ba po un?? kahit mag kaiba ng amount..

[greengabby]

My question lang po... I am a self-employed or voluntary member since 2000 kasi I have a business there in PI tapos I went abroad to live w/ hubby on 2004, pero my SIL continued paying for my SSS until now, since sha ang nagmamanage ng business na naiwan. I am currentlly pregnant w/ twins and hubby and I decided to have my delivery on a private hospital here abroad. Though it will be quite expensive, his company  naman will shoulder for the expenses. My question is, can I still avail my maternity benifit sa SSS even if I am abroad? If yes, paano kaya? Sayang din kasi if may makakakuha that means, savings din and dagdag sa pambili ng gamit ng mga babies since twin nga sila.

Thanks and have a good day!

[m_lim]

mga sis, around how much ba ang nakukuha ng beneficiary pag namatay na primary member ng SSS? kunyari around 30 yrs na nagwowork, nasa 10,000 ang sahod. wala kasi ako idea sa computation. thanks!

[babyanj]

[cream_puffs]
