This is a better alternative to the in-branch SSS application provided you already have an active MySSS online Account.
How to apply for an SSS Salary Loan online in the Philippines
There are only three simple steps I did to apply for the loan:
(1) Create a MySSS account online
Go to https://sss.gov.ph and in their homepage, click the button for registration.
This is a one-time registration only and you will need your CRN/SS number and a working email address.
(2) Apply for a Salary Loan Benefit
Once your account is active and you have a working SSS online account, then you can try to apply online for SSS Salary loan under E-Services.
Upon following the steps, you will get your transaction number. At this point, inform your employer of your application after submission.
(3) Wait for the cheque from SSS
The waiting begins here assuming there’s nothing that could delay or reject your application.
That’s just it!
Overall, the process is easy and smooth for a first-time loan.
UPDATE AUG 2020: The My.SSS online account now also has new features for a member to monitor payments for the SSS Salary Loan. Under E-Services >> Inquiry, you can see the status of your existing loan and the payments posted so far.
