But first things first: are you eligible, my friend?
- Been an SSS member for a while? You'll need at least 36 posted monthly contributions, with 6 of those happening in the last year. For a two-month loan, you'll need 72 contributions, 6 within the last year. ️
- Still rocking the regular employee life or a self-employed go-getter? Great! This loan's for you.
- Employer a little behind on their SSS contributions? Not cool, but it might affect your eligibility. Get them to sort it out, pronto!
- Got any outstanding SSS loans you haven't settled yet? You'll need to clear those first.
- Under 65 and haven't claimed any final benefits? You're good to go!
Alright, you've passed the eligibility quiz! Now, let's get down to loan application business.

Two ways to play the game: online or branch boogie?
- Feeling tech-savvy? Head to My.SSS and apply online. It's fast, convenient, and saves you the wait in line. Just remember, your employer also needs a My.SSS account for this method to work.
- More of a face-to-face kinda person? No worries! Head to your nearest SSS branch and get the application form (SSS Form SL). Fill it out neatly, and don't forget to bring your government-issued ID and SSS digitized ID or E-6 (acknowledgement stub).
Once you've submitted your application, it's time to play the waiting game. Don't worry, they'll process it as soon as possible. In the meantime, avoid that urge to call and pester them every five minutes. They'll get back to you, we promise!

- UMID ATM Card: This is the fastest and most convenient option.
- Cash Card: You can get this from Citibank or UnionBank.
- Pick-up at SSS branch: This option might take a little longer, but hey, at least you get some exercise walking to the branch!
Remember, folks, a loan is a responsibility, not a free pass to go on a shopping spree.
- Only borrow what you need.
- Make sure you can afford the monthly repayments.
- Use the money wisely and pay it back diligently.
**Because let's be honest, nobody wants to be dealing with debt collectors, especially the friendly folks at SSS. **
