Did you lose or forget your SSS number and/or Password for your SSS online account?
I know it’s frustrating especially if you need to check your SSS contributions or you need to apply for a salary loan or file maternity benefit or any other SSS benefits.
But don’t worry, I’ll give you some tips on how and where you can possibly find your SSS number and online password.
How to Find your SSS Number
An SSS member should only have one SSS number and it’s valid for a lifetime. If for some reason you lost or forgot your SSS number, you should never get a new SSS number.
Here are some tips on how and where you can find your SSS number…
1. Do you have a UMID or SSS ID? If yes, check the details and see if your SSS number is written there.
2. Are you registered to My.SSS? If yes, login to your SSS online account, access your personal profile and you will find your SSS number there.
3. Do you still have your SSS E1 form with you? Your E1 form is what you got from SSS when you first applied for your SSS number or when you became a member of the SSS. If you can find your E1, you’ll be able to find your SSS number on that form.
4. Are you employed? Check your company ID if your SSS Number is there. In some company IDs, aside from the name and employee number, they also include the employee’s TIN and SSS Number usually at the back of the card. You can also ask your HR Staff for your SSS number.
5. Do you have time to visit the nearest SSS branch? If you do, inquire at the information desk if you can ask or verify your SSS number. Just make sure to bring a valid IDs to prove your identity. You may also contact the SSS through their Facebook Page or email them at member_relations@sss.gov.ph.
If you have more than one SSS number, you should report it immediately to SSS so they can disable the other one and update your SSS membership records. Otherwise, you might encounter issues when claiming your SSS benefits in the future.
