Th e Social Security System (SSS) is extending the deadline of contribution payments to June 15.
SSS said in a statement yesterday the new extension covers contribution payments of all household employers, self-employed, voluntary and non-working spouse members for the first quarter of 2020, and contribution payments of all regular employers for February, March and April 2020.
Employers with approved installment proposals under the Contribution Penalty Condonation Program also have until June 15, 2020, to deposit their post-dated checks due in February, March, April and May 2020.
Aurora Ignacio, SSS president and chief executive officer, said the extension aims to give members and employers more time to pay contributions since restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic have only been eased recently.
Ignacio urged members and employers to not wait for the last minute in paying their contributions and encouraged them to use online and mobile payment facilities aside from over-the-counter transactions through SSS branches, and its bank and non-bank partners.
“Individual members can pay their contributions through Moneygment at the My.SSS web portal on our website, PayMaya through the SSS Mobile App, Bayad Center Mobile App, or through the online banking facility of Security Bank for those who have a deposit account with them,” Ignacio said.
She added regular employers can also pay through bank web facilities such as the Bank of the Philippine Islands-Bizlink, Security Bank Corp. Digibanker, Union Bank of the Philippines, or through the eGov BancNet online.
“Household employers, on the other hand, can pay through the Security Bank Corporation Digibanker,” she said.
