11 Easy Steps to Pay Your SSS Contributions Online (And Generate PRNs Too!)

If you are a business owner, professional, OFW or a voluntary contributor, you are very well aware of the hassle of paying for your Social Security System (SSS) contributions.

Because if you were an employee before, you didn’t really have to think about all that because your employer took care of remitting your contributions for you by deducting it from your salary.

But now that you are considered by the SSS as an individually-paying member (self-employed, voluntary, non-working spouse, and OFW), you have to make the payments yourself.

List of Payment Facilities for SSS Transactions

As of this writing, the only means to pay for your SSS contributions are the following. (Taken from the SSS Facebook Page)

(To get the latest and most updated payment channels, feel free to visit the SSS Facebook page.)

It is very important to note, however, that you need to get a Payment Reference Number (PRN) first before you pay at any of the payment channels mentioned above. 

What is a PRN and why do I need to get that to pay any SSS transaction?

The Payment Reference Number or PRN is simply a system-generated number that the SSS provides and that members use as reference whenever they pay for their contribution.  

This is a requirement by the SSS as part of its Real-Time Processing of Contributions (RTPC) program — which ensures that contributions being paid by its members are posted immediately to their records and allows members to avail of their benefits as SSS members without delay.

Recently, the SSS has also made mandatory the use of the Payment Reference Number for paying SSS loans. This will take effect on April 1, 2021.

How to generate a Payment Reference Number (PRN) the old way

Before, to get generate this PRN, members would either have to:

  • Go to the SSS website (you have to register first)
  • Visit one of their branches
  • Call the SSS helpline at 920-6446 to 55 (Mondays to Fridays only) or
  • Email them at PRNHelpline@sss.gov.ph.  

This could take a while before you get your PRN, and as mentioned earlier, you can’t pay your SSS contribution or loan without that. 

Imagine, having to go to a different channel just to get a PRN.  Why not do it all in one go?

  1. Word of caution. I checked the SSS website and articles online and as of this date this is not listed as an accredited payment channel.

      1. Hello Theahoney,

        Here are the steps on generating PRN through Taxumo:

        Select payor type Individual.
        Click the link beside Don’t have payment reference no.?
        Fill up the fields.
        Click Generate payment reference no. button.

        Hope this helps 🙂

    1. Right now, SSS loan payments can’t be paid on Taxumo. We’re working on getting that returned though so hopefully next time you try, you can pay already. Try it out!

    1. Hi Frilyn, hopefully the article has helped you understand how to pay your SSS. Do tell us if you have a particular question about the article. 🙂

  2. Hi! Just want to ask the particulars about paying my SSS on my own for a short period of time.

    I will be transferring to a different company and they won’t be paying my government taxes not until after I am 6 months employed with them.

    Is there a pause on that PRN? Or should I provide that to my employer once they are in charge on paying it for me?

    1. Hi Rocky, we are certified by the BSP as an Online Payment System. You can see our OPS credentials here and here. Hope that allays any fears you may have. If you also have any issues with your payment, you can coordinate with our Customer Service Team and they’ll help you.

  3. Good day.
    I want to confirm if I can pay my SSS contribution using taxumo.
    Are there any issues now?

    Going to SSS branch takes a lot of time and I can only process my SSS contribution in Friday because of the last digit in my SSS number.

    Thank you!

  6. Before the Pandemic, I paid my SSS Contribution as Voluntary Paying Member directly to the SSS Branch Office at Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay. When the Pandemic arose, Seniors like me (I’m 68 years old) are prohibited from entering their Office, so I went to Western Union to pay. But today they declined to allow me to avail of their service because, according to them, the SSS Main Office is not providing them with the PRN. With this new development at hand, are there other outlets that I can go to pay my SSS Contribution? Please provide some help and assistance. Thank you and good PM.

    1. You should start applying for your pension at age 60 if you are not working anymore. No more contributions. Age 65 above even you’re still working pension should start.

      Hi Micah,

      Once you have created a Taxumo account, just go to the “Pay Bills” tab and select Govt Contributions.

      Once there you may choose SSS or Pagibig.
      
      Let us know if you need further assistance. 😊
