Every working Filipino adult gains access to Social Security System (SSS) on their first day of work. But your SSS number isn’t just a pre-employment requirement; it’s important for your social security, too.

Your SSS provides you with benefits for maternity, disability, sickness, loans, funeral, retirement, and many more. But to become eligible, you need to fulfill all SSS requirements and maintain your active membership through monthly contributions.
