Qualifying: The Not-So-Secret Test
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
Think of this as the loan application's bouncer. You gotta meet certain requirements to get in. Here's the skinny:
- Been an SSS member for a while? You'll need at least 36 monthly contributions for a one-month loan, and 72 for a two-month loan. Six of those contributions need to be in the last year. Basically, show them you're a responsible contributor.
- Employer on the ball? If you're employed, your employer needs to be up-to-date on your SSS contributions. Think of it as a good reminder to give them a nudge if they're slacking.
- Not drowning in other loans? Make sure you're not already paying off another SSS loan. They like to see you tackling your debts one at a time.

Phew! That Wasn't So Scary, Was It?
Getting an SSS Salary Loan might not be a walk in the park, but it's definitely manageable. Just remember: Be responsible, borrow what you can afford, and repay on time. With a little planning and this guide, you'll be back on your financial feet in no time.
