SSS Monthly Contributions Payment Schedule and Deadline

As an SSS member which you can be an employee, self-employed, OFW, or voluntary – it is very important for you to be aware about the schedule and deadlines of your monthly contributions. You have to know that there is a penalty for a missed payment that you incur. Surely, you do not want that to happen.

Covered on this post is the exact due date or deadline of your SSS (Social Security System) premium on a monthly basis. You can save an offline copy of the schedule or you can bookmark it on your browser for easier reference in the future.


Regular and Household Employers

Take a close look into your ER/HR number. It should contain a total of 13 digits. Now, pay attention to the 10th digit only and refer to the details below:

If your 10th digit ends in 1 or 2, your payment deadline will be on the 10th day of the month.

If your 10th digit has an ending of 3 or 4, it’s on the 15th day of the month is your payment deadline.

A 10th digit that ends in 5 or 6 will have a payment deadline on the 20th day of the month.

A 10th digit with an ending of 7 or 8 number has a scheduled deadline on the 25th day of the month.

Having a 10th digit with a number of 9 or 0 entitles you a payment deadline at the last day of the month.

All payment deadlines on this category must follow the applicable months.

Self-Employed and Voluntary Members

The scheduled payment deadlines for self-employed and voluntary members are exactly the same as the above (regular and household employers). But, the only difference is that the payment deadlines must follow the applicable month or quarter.

OFW Members

If you are an OFW member then you can pay your contributions on the months of January to December of a given year. Contributions for the months of October and December can be paid on the next succeeding year which must be on or before the 31st of January.

SSS Payment Schedule Updates

At some point, there can be changes on the payment schedule and deadlines for member’s monthly contribution.

Below are the most recent updates or revised contribution deadlines:

June 2019

The 10th digit of your SSS number/Employer/HR will now be the basis of your payment deadline.

All regular employers must settle their payment at the end of the month following the applicable month. Contributions for the month of February can be paid until the March 31.

As for the household employers, they must settle their payment at the end of the month following the applicable month or quarter, as the case may be. Contributions on the month of May can be paid until the 31st of July.

While for the self-employed, voluntary, and non-working spouse (SE/VM/NWS) members with contributions on the months of January to June 2019 may settle their payment until the 31st of July 2019.

Paying your contributions on time can get you qualified for SSS benefits.
