SSS launches its own mobile app

The Philippines’ state-owned Social Security System (SSS) has launched its mobile app for information and membership access.

In a press release, the apps will enable users to check their SSS information including contribution status; sickness, maternity, disability and retirement claim information; Employees Compensation (EC) Medical status; salary loan application status and outstanding balance; location of SSS branch offices; and documentary requirements for SSS membership, benefit claims application (i.e. sickness, maternity, EC Medical, disability, retirement, funeral and death), personal data amendment, and UMID Card enrollment.

The government service agency recognizes the rising use of smartphones in the country, hence the need to release an app for easier access to information. “Based on recent studies, smartphone usage in the Philippines will increase by 70 percent this year. In that regard, we are taking advantage of this opportunity by creating this SSS Mobile App so that members can easily access SSS information and services right at their fingertips, SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Emmanuel F. Dooc has said to the Philippine Information Agency.

The mobile app is also touted to be secure, according to the agency. “Members need not worry on any possible data breach since the SSS Mobile App has its own security features and requires the entry of user ID and password,” Dooc explained.

The SSS Mobile App is now available for download at Google Play Store below.
