Social Security System (SSS) members can now enrol their PayMaya accounts as their default disbursement option in their My.SSS online portal.
SSS members can enrol their PayMaya accounts through the My.SSS member portal (http://member.sss.gov.ph) by entering their PayMaya-registered mobile number under the “Account Number” field at the Bank Enrollment portion of the portal.
Proceeds from the SSS funeral and unemployment benefits, among others, may be coursed through the member’s PayMaya account. Soon, members may also receive their calamity, salary, and other loan proceeds via PayMaya.
The move is part of SSS’s efforts to migrate to a ‘checkless’ disbursement process and completely electronic way to distribute funds and other proceeds to members, especially during the current public health situation.
“As the country deals with the effects of the pandemic, our digitalization efforts at SSS become a crucial part in ensuring that we deliver not just continuous but also safe service to all of our members. We are glad to continue expanding our partnership with PayMaya not just in allowing electronic payments of member contributions but in the fast and safe disbursement of their benefits as well,” said Aurora Cruz-Ignacio, President and CEO of SSS.
“SSS has been one of the leading government agencies aggressively implementing digitalization of their services, and we’re glad to enable them with our end-to-end digital platforms so that their members can conveniently and safely transact with them wherever they are,” added Orlando B. Vea, Founder and CEO of PayMaya.
Is there a specific date for the calamity, salary, and other loans? As stated in the details, for now, only SSS funeral and unemployment benefits are accepted. I have received a lot of inquiries about this. You might have the opportunity to get the information. Thanks.
