Social Security System or SSS members had been encouraged to make an online account in their official website. It does not only cuts the line you have to get to in their offices, it can also give services without actually leaving the comforts of your homes provided that you have internet connection.
One of the services you can have if you are a member with an online account, is you can apply for a salary loan online. All you have to do is tell your employer about your loan application so they can verify it for you.
There are five steps to apply for a salary loan.
1. Visit www.sss.gov.ph and click the ‘Register Now’button. If you are signing up, make sure that the username and passwords that you had used are different from each other, easy to remember and are not your birthdate as they are easy to guess. If you forgot your username and password, you can always call the SSS hotline for a reset, though it may take sometime, so prevent the hassle. Do not write your username and password then just leave it around anywhere, these details are very important.
