SSS Salary Loan for Self-Employed or Voluntary Members: A Quick Guide

July 3, 2015

(This post is updated on August 12, 2024.)

My SSS salary loan check was delivered to my address a week ago. How long did it take? Four days short of a month. Fast, right? I thought so, too.

The most surprising thing about the application was that it was a breeze. Yes, it takes patience when using the SSS online portal but once you obtain access – applying for a salary loan is so easy.

SSS Salary Loan Application for Self-Employed or Voluntary Members

You have already signed up for my.sss, you know your user ID and password by heart, and your internet connection is reliable. Those are three assumptions I’m making.

Now, once you’ve logged on successfully to your my.sss page, your first assignment is to find the ELIGIBILITY tab, and select “loan” from the drop-down options (as illustrated below).

As a self-employed or voluntary member, you have no employer. Simply click the box as indicated on this image. Your Employer ID Number will be then automatically generated. Click “Submit”.

Now, here’s the exciting part: how much salary loan can you apply for? SSS requires at least 36 monthly contributions to qualify for a one-month salary loan. Here’s how it looks ( I erased some details for privacy reasons but from your end, you will be able to view the amount of loan you can get):

SSS Salary Loan Eligibility -Voluntary Member

Since I have 40 posted contributions, I’m eligible! I hope you are, too. If you click the Loan Disclosure Statement, you will get a copy of the full details of your SSS salary loan.

The day after I filed this loan online, I checked the Loan Status and it was approved! Then, I obsessively monitored its status the following days. To my frustration, the same message appeared: CHECK GENERATED.

SSS Text Service: Not Helpful in Tracking SSS Salary Loan

I wonder why no one ever talks about how unhelpful SSS text service is. Neil already warned me that tracking my salary loan through SSS SMS was, at best, useless.

To illustrate, this is the answer I got when I inquired via SSS text about my SSS loan status (it costs Php 2.50 to send this message):

Curious me, I still tried. I thought if a service exists, then it must be helpful. Only to prove how Neil was right. The SSS SMS service can’t tell you any significant info about your SSS loan status.

You’d have a better chance of knowing by visiting the POST OFFICE and asking their staff for your SSS check. I did. And after a weekend, I got my check.

In hindsight, I thought I would still get my SSS salary loan within a month. After all, it’s a loan with interest and SSS benefits from members who borrow from their own savings.

Know a voluntary or self-employed SSS member? Share this post to her/him. Happy encashing! 🙂

*Please note that I’m located in Cebu so my circumstances might be different. I’m also not an employee of SSS, I just made a promise to share my experience with their service once I receive my loan.

2024 Salary Loan Application for Self-Employed: An Update

While there’s no evidence to support the rumor that unused SSS loans might be misused internally, I still prefer to take advantage of the loan privilege when I need extra cash.

The good news is that getting a salary loan through the MySSS website is now incredibly convenient. You no longer have to wait for checks to arrive in the mail.

Instead, you can choose to receive the loan amount directly through Gcash or a bank account, making the process faster and easier. It took me less than three days to receive my SSS salary loan via my BPI account.

Hi, Jheng! 🙂

Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment! Musta na? 🙂

Hmm.. I think naa pa man sa Penshoppe. Daghan man ‘to sila.hehehe.. +/- 300 lang yun. 😉

If previously employed sila, they need to change their status from employed to self-employed by paying as voluntary member.

Issa

A check will be sent to the address you put on the loan application. Did you apply for this loan online? If you log in, you’ll see the status of your loan.
Ace

Hello would like to ask, once you click to the loan disclosure statement, does that mean that you already filed for the salary loan already?
Issa

February 8, 2017

Hi Ace,
If you click the Loan Disclosure Statement, it will show a copy of the complete details of your SSS salary loan.

After that, you can log on to check the status of your loan. It’s usually fast, in my experience, my SSS check was generated within a month.

Hope that helps. 🙂

Hello mam i just want to ask anu mangyayari po if nag file ako ng sss salary loan employed po ako then i have to resign due to unexpected issue and want to change as voluntary member. Can i still get my Loan check sa HR ko before im not sure but i think within this month daw nung nag apply ako sa sss branch malapit samin.. please i need help po thank you
Issa

March 15, 2017

Hi Camille!

Approved na ba ang loan mo? If yes, you just have to wait for the check. It’s sent via post office. May online SSS account ka? You can check the status of your loan through your online account.

Hope that helps.

March 19, 2017

hi i am currently employed and i am planning to resign but i wanna know kung pwede ba magloan kahit not connected kana sa company. i currently have 39 contributions posted as of now and i am still employed.i am planning to resign once i have verified n pwede magloan kahit wala ka na sa company..

p.s sa PAG-IBIG kasi dapat employed ka para makaloan ka or may source of income ka. ehh paano. gusto ko rin sana malaman kung same rule applies sa sss.
apple

March 19, 2017

i guess same kami ni camille. ma aapprove pa rin ba loan kapag hindi kana employed kasi yung employer mo yung naghuhulog ng contributions. ex. ngayon ako magfile ng loan.then nagresign ako next week, aapprove pa kaya yun kasi kung number of contributions yung pag uusapan, I have 39 posted monthly contributions eh.thank you in advance
Issa

March 26, 2017

Hi Apple..
I suggest you contact desuyomz@sss.gov.ph and member_relations@sss.gov.ph. Expect a reply within a day or two. At least you can get an official answer.
Ang nasubukan ko lang kasi mag-apply while I was a “Voluntary Contributor”.. Wala na akong work nung nag-apply ako ng salary loan so walang middle person (HR or office manager) na kailangan kong sabihan na i-approve ang loan..

I applied it online and I got my loan within a month.
Apple

March 29, 2017

I see. I just wanna know kung ilang months ka na naghuhulog as a voluntary member bago ka nagloan? Or would you happen to know if may mobile toll free number sila kasi na pwede icontact kasi ang hirap maghanap ng landline nowadays.Thank you for the quick response..
Apple

March 29, 2017

Ang kinababahala ko lang kasi is that qualify nga ako pero may required months na kylangan mong hulugan as a voluntary member bago ka mag apply ng salary loan. Example, magreresign na ako by the end of May tapos pag nag apply ako ng salary loan baka magrequire muna sila maghulog ako ng 6 months as a voluntary member so thatś around Nov. or December pa ako pwede magloan bago sila magpa allow ng salary loan.
Issa

March 29, 2017

Hmm. Sa case ko, I had 40 posted contributions before na-approve ang salary loan ko as a voluntary member.

When I checked online, ang nakalagay na hulog ko sa SSS hanggang December 2014 lang, kahit na ang last working day ko sa company, March 15, 2015. Can you check if your company remits the SSS contributions on time?

So, nung nag-apply ako for loan by April, I had to pay as a Voluntary member first para ma-convert ang account ko from Employed to “Voluntary”. I paid 1,650 to cover April, May and June contributions (so three-month worth of voluntary contributions, 550 each month). I applied for a salary loan online at sss.gov.ph, then I got the money within a month.

Hope that helps.

April 23, 2017

Hi po!

I just want to clarify things I’m employed po tapos nag apply po ako ng salary loan verify ko lang po sana kung employed ka po, sa employer ko po ba na address e sesend yung salary loan check ko? O do I need to update the mailing address for my salary loan check?
jerry mae

May 3, 2017

Hello! I am voluntary sss member, I was paid my sss contribution for 3years equivalent of 36months, so how much worth of salary loan could I avail? Please let me know. Thanks
Issa

May 4, 2017

@Ben, Question, magkaiba ba kayo ng work location ng employer mo? It will be easier to use your office address. The check will be addressed to you.. it has your name on it so you don’t have to worry.

@Jerry Mae, it’s best to register for an online SSS account so you can check the exact loanable amount. In my case, I worked for a few years before paying my SSS voluntarily. For first-time loaners, P15K is usually the highest amount you can get.
Grace

May 10, 2017

Hi Ms. ISSA, how much kaya pwede I-loan? over 10K kaya depende sa contributions?
Kate

May 15, 2017

Hi, may I know how to contact SSS Post Office? Mine was “CHECK GENERATED” since April 25 but no check was delivered to my address until now. Thanks ahead.
Issa

May 16, 2017

@Grace, If you’re currently employed, ask for your Employer’s ID. You need to enter that number (example: 88-8888800-6) to find out the amount you’re allowed to loan.
So, log in lang sa SSS account mo, look for “ELIGIBILITY” tab. Hover your mouse on this tab, then you’ll see “Loan” under the drop-down buttons. Click that and you’ll find out the loan amount you’re allowed to take.

If Voluntary member ka, just click the check box. You’ll see “Please Check this if Member is Self-Employed or Voluntary Member” next to it. Then you’ll know how much you can loan.

Hi maam .. Good day , its been a week po since my salary loan has been approved and its already check generated in my online account. I cant wait for the cheque to be delivered can i go to the post office near on the the branch where i applied for my salary loan ? Thankyou
Issa

June 12, 2017

Hi Haena! Voluntary/Self-employed member ka ba? If so, yes, you can go the nearest post office sa address na nakalagay sa SSS profile mo.
For example, yung sa akin, in-address ko sa Mandaue City, sa Mandaue post office ko rin na-claim.

For your specific concern, it’s best to message SSS directly at Facebook.com/SSSPh. Pwede rin tumawag sa 917-7777 o Telephone Brigade at 920-6446 to 55. Pwede rin sa 1-800-10-2255777 toll free mula Lunes hanggang Biyernes. You can also send an email to member_relations@sss.gov.ph.

Hi Shiela,
Within a month, usually.

Hi Beth,
Ang pagkakaalam ko, sa pinakamalapit na Post Office sa address na nilagay mo sa SSS loan request. Pwede mo rin tawagan ang post office bago mo puntahan para di masayang ang time.

Hi Issa,
Medjo complicated but I hope you can enlighten me. Akong status ron sa akong profile is still employed, but im already SE and pregnant, so meaning dugay pako mka work blik. Nag submit nako og Mat Notif under SE status. What I would like to know is, pde ba na akong ichange akong status from employed to voluntary then pay half of my existing loan(w/c is delinquent) then apply for a new loan immediately after paying half of my outstanding balance? And would it affect the amount of the mat benefit that i will claim in the future?

Hi Ma’am,

woulds just like to ask if may idea ka kung saan binebase ng SSS yung delivery ng check for Voluntary member? Nagkamali kc aku ng lagay ng address sa Loan applicaton page. Hindi ko po kasi nailagay yung name ng subdivision namin. Pero yung address naman sa Member’s details page is correct. Worried lang aku kc baka yun ang maging reason baka hindi ko agad makuha yung cheque ko. And tama ba, sa post office near your address mo pipick-up-in yng cheque?

Shellie Villapaña

December 2, 2017

Hi. I submitted my salary loan application online last nov. 22. And now i checked the status online it shows as check generated but what bothers me is that the address on the loan status page shows incomplete. It only shows the house number and street name not including my city state and postal code. Ive made sure i put all the info before submitting the application. And isnt it that you wont be able to submit the application without filling those required info. But Why is that?

Hi Joanna and Shellie,
I don’t work for SSS but I find these contact details helpful:

Hi Eunice,
According to SSS website, pwede raw.

Here are the qualifications:
The maternity benefit is offered only to female SSS members. A member is qualified to avail of this benefit if:
1. She has paid at least three monthly contributions within the 12-month period immediately preceding the semester of her childbirth or miscarriage.

2. She has given the required notification of her pregnancy to SSS through her employer if employed; or submitted the maternity notification directly to the SSS if separated from employment, a voluntary or self-employed member.

Pwede ka rin tumawag, mag-email o mag-message sa Facebook:

Hi Rea,
Baka na-delay lang dahil sa Holy Week break. Try mo rin i-check ang status online. Baka na-approve na.

April 4, 2018

Hi po,
Meron po ba makakasagot kung ipapadala ng SSS ung cheke sa mismong address na nilagay mo sa loan application? Nag-apply po ako ng loan online sa SSS website, then ang status is CHECK GENERATED pero wala pa po ako nareceive na check. Last March 19 pa ako nag-apply.

Thanks in advance.

Issa

April 10, 2018

Base sa SSS official Facebook site:

“For voluntary/self-employed members, the check is sent via registered mail to the “address indicated in the application”. Once na-generate na ang check, nakadepende na sa PhilPOST ang delivery ng check.”

You can post questions directly on their page: https://www.facebook.com/SSSPh.

Hi Regulus,
Sa pinakamalapit na post office sa inyo. San mo in-address ang cheque? Ang schedule kasi ng delivery nakadepende na sia PhilPOST.Try mo tawagan ang number or i-email sila dito: https://tracking.phlpost.gov.ph.

Issa

June 19, 2018

Hi Jonah,
Ang alam ko pag nagbayad ka na as voluntary member, ia-update na nila sa system. Ang check, ipapadala nila kung anong address ang in-indicate mo sa SSS online account mo..

Ng halfway?
Issa

July 30, 2018

@Noemi Pasensya sa delayed response. Pag nagbabayad ka sa SSS ngayon, makakatanggap ka ng text confirmation kung posted na ang payments. Para makasiguro, pwede mo rin i-check kung nag-reflect na ba online ang payment. You can text SSSCONTRIB(SSS Number, no dash or space)PIN # to 2600 (P2.50/text ang charge) para makita mo yung last date of posted contribution ng asawa mo. If di ka pa naka-register sa SSS TEXT service, you just have to send these codes first: SSSREG(your SSS number without space or dash)(Your Birthday in month, day, year format, ex. 11231989), then send it to 2600. Pag na-receive mo na ang PIN, you can start using SSS HELP. Or, you can call their hotline number at 920-6401 from Monday to Friday (9AM – 5PM). Hope that helps.
Issa

July 30, 2018

Hi Angelita,
Ayon sa SSS website:
Renewal shall be allowed after payment of at least 50% of the original principal amount and at least 50% of the term has lapsed.

April

August 28, 2018

Ilang buwan po ba dapt bago mag loan kapag bago kapalang resign.so ano po ba ang dapat kong gawin.

Thanks po
Issa

September 13, 2018

@Al, automatic ang update sa status change from employed to voluntary. Try paying more contributions as voluntary. I usually pay quarterly and nag-reflect agad sa online SSS records.

@April, Sorry late reply, I hope di ka pa nag-resign. When you apply for a loan via your HR, it usually takes a month (depende rin sa HR nyo if in-apply nya agad nung nagrequest ka). Pero kung hindi, made-delay din. If close ka sa HR, ipa-prioritize mo. If hindi, pwede ka naman magresign, pero dapat sure ka na up-to-date ang contributions ng company mo.

Hi Issa. I just read your article and it’s very informative, thumbs up. However meron lang akong mga questions like in my current situation: My employer had not been paying to SSS in a timely manner, and I’m resigning soon. However 35 months pa ang posted contributions ko, so what I wanted is if ever ako na ang magbayad sa contribution ko to make it 36 months. And by that maging voluntary member na ako. Will it br possible to get a salary loan on this scenario? Thanks.
Issa

August 16, 2019

Hi John, thanks for reading.

Please check the last contribution made by your company. Strict kasi ang contribution deadlines for voluntary SSS members so posible na di mo na mahabol yung previous months. (They usually accept payments for the last 3 months).

Posible ba mag-loan if may gap sa payments? As far as I know pwede (ganyan din kasi yung case ko, hindi nagbayad yung employer ko so I had to pay voluntarily for a quarter – 550 each month for 3 months). As long as yung most recent 3 months before your loan date, paid, and equal to 36 total contributions, you have a good chance of getting approved for a salary loan.

Responsive din ang SSS sa email, so try sending them an email at member_relations@sss.gov.ph.
