How to Apply for SSS Loans

More OFW Updates

Social Security System is a government insurance program dedicated to the workers of the Philippines. The social insurance policy started in 1957 after President Manual A. Roxas proposed the bill. One of the primary services of SSS is financial aid (or assistance) in the form of salary loans.

A major hitch when applying for SSS loans is the congestion in SSS centres or establishments. To mitigate the problem and to deliver better service to its members, SSS has launched an online system designed to cater a great volume of customers who want to apply for loans at their very own convenience. This is great news to SSS members since there will be no longer hefty paperworks and long queues. Only that, the person applying for loan should inform his or her employer to certify the document.
