If you are a member of SSS and at the same time employed, you can apply for SSS Salary Loan if you meet the qualification for application. This article will guide you for your SSS Salary Loan Online and Offline application. This process is way better than the old method of manual application of salary loan.
The SSS Salary Loan is a one of the common benefit from SSS that members can take advantage of, because of the relatively low interest rate and the length of time they allow you to pay the loan back.
A salary loan refers to a borrowed sum of money from an employer or a government institution like SSS or PAG-IBIG to which you have contributed money on a monthly basis.
What are the Qualifications for the SSS Salary Loan?
- You should be employed, self-employed, or a voluntary member of the Social Security System with an active status in terms of contributions.
- For a one-month salary loan, the member borrowing from SSS must have thirty-six (36) posted monthly contributions before the month of filing for the loan, and for a borrower looking to loan a two-month salary loan, a total of seventy-two contributions must have been filed at least a month prior to the date of loan application.
- Your employer should be updated in the payment of contributions.
- You are not eligible if you have been granted final benefits (e.g. retirement, total permanent disability, or death)
- You should have a clean record in SSS
- You should have six (6) monthly contributions for the past twelve (12) months prior to the month of setting up your loan.
- You must be under sixty-five (65) years of age.
Online Application
- Go to sss.gov.ph. If you already have an existing account of SSS, just enter your username and your password under Member Login, and click on Submit. If you don’t have an account yet, you will have to register your SSS account first. Make sure to always remember your username and password or save them anywhere where you can easily find them when you need to check the status of your account. This is to protect your SSS account from those who will try to make a loan on your account.
- After logging in, click the E-Services tab on your account and then click the Salary Loan Application. You should also notify your employer about your SSS Salary Loan beforehand for them to be able to certify you. The loan won’t push through without their approval or certification.

- A confirmation message will appear to confirm if you want to proceed with the submission of the request. Click OK button to continue.

- To check your SSS Salary Loan Application online status, just log on to your My.SSS account. Go to E-Services tab, click Inquiry then select LOANS – LOAN STATUS. If the status shows “Check Generated” that means your Salary Loan check is already on the process and soon will be delivers on your mailing address.
It may take up to 3-4 weeks to have the Salary Loan Check mailed on your mailing address.
Offline Application
Another option available to those who don’t have an access to a computer would be to file the loan at the nearest branch available to their place of residence or business.
For OFWs, you may also apply for a salary loan at the Social Security Representative Offices in selected countries. In case they are employed in a country without a representative office, they can always send their supporting documents and authorization to relatives in the Philippines.
Take note that any document that is released or issued in a different country needs to be authenticated by the Philippine Embassy.
