Step by Step Guide (seen on website of SSS)

1. Accomplish all fields of the online form correctly and submit.
2. Click the link sent to your email to continue with your application.
   Note: The link expires in 5 working days and once it expires, you need to repeat the registration process.
3. Supply all the required information.
4. Click the “Generate SS Number” button to view your SS number and to print the form, SS Number Slip and Transaction Number Slip. You will also receive the PDF copies of the said documents through email.
5. Check your email for your My.SSS account activation link and the List of Required Supporting Documents for your SS Number.
6. Present the transaction number slip and supporting documents to the E-Center personnel of the SSS Branch.
7. Proceed to UMID Card Enrollment upon the instruction of the E-Center personnel.

Step 4: Complete the forms and double-check your information before clicking the little box (which certifies that the encoded data is accurate and valid) and pressing the SUBMIT button.

We strongly advise you to use your personal email address rather than a professional or commercial email address, since this will act as your MY.SSS Account login for the rest of your life.

MY.SSS Account is another SSS portal where you may apply for a loan or other SSS advantages.

Step 5. Check your email for a link to complete Phase 2 of your registration process. Check your spam folder or wait a few minutes if you haven’t received an email from SSS, or call the SSS helpline.

There will be a link in the email that you must click to advance and finish filling out the form.

Make sure you enter the relevant contact information, and you’ll need to create your My.SSS account credential at this time, so have your username and password handy.

You will be asked to provide your bank account information for the UMIT ATM on the form. It will be utilized if your loan is accepted, and the funds will be sent straight into that account. If you don’t have a bank account, don’t worry about it; it’s completely optional.

What happens if you don’t have access to a bank account? Your loan request (if granted) will be released and accompanied with a physical check, which you should pick up from the SSS branch assigned to you.
