My First ever SSS Salary Loan


After working for more than 3 years in different companies, finally I have used my SSS loan benefit for the first time.

For first timers like me, as long as you have 36 posted monthly contributions, you are qualified to file a loan. 
Anyway, these are the following SSS Salary loan requirements I submitted to our HR:

  1. Photocopy of my SSS ID, Company ID and any other 1 valid ID for supporting document. For voluntary, just you’re SSS ID and other 2 valid IDs.
  2. Accomplished SSS loan application form (click here to download SSS Loan Form)
  3. Prepare as well an authorization letter, if the company will process it in behalf of you. (For employed members only.)


Whoala! Just easy as 1-2-3! All you have to do now is to wait for the check which will take a couple of weeks before it will arrive. Or you can check your SSS online account (if you have one!) from time to time to check your loan status. 

On your online SSS account, you will see a Check Generated Status, Check Date, Loan Amount, Check Amount and your monthly amortization which will be deducted on your salary after two months. See image below for reference: 

Check will be delivered to your employer’s address for SSS employed members or to your home address if you are voluntary or separated members. So I’m expecting mine to receive at our office since our HR was the one who filed it for me. :)
