To become a SSS member in good standing, you must pay your SSS premium contributions on time. Use Gcash payment. Failure to remit on time would mean disqualification from availing of certain benefits. Of course, you don’t want that to happen.
Now, paying your Social Security System (SSS) Premium Contribution is quick and easy, especially for self-employed and OFW members thru the Gcash app.
With just a computer or mobile phone, you can pay your monthly contribution or loans on time, in the comfort of your homes. You are not required to go to the nearest SSS office or bank branch and queue with many people in a long line to pay your dues.
Steps in Paying SSS Premium Contribution Using Gcash
1. Get your Payment Reference Number (PRN) from your My.SSS account.

Final Thoughts
The Social Security System is one of the few government institutions that are active in automating its processes and procedures. SSS has made almost all of its transactions done online, including paying premium contributions.
With the pandemic still within our midst, it is all the more imperative to stay at home and enjoy the convenience of paying our SSS bills using our laptops and smartphones.
This is super helpful because we need to stay at home. Kudos to SSS.

Always good if you can do things more online and don’t need to stand in queue
That is awesome that they have gone online for everything. Easier access is probably needed for a population who received it.
I love my GCash app, it so convenient! Most of my online transactions are paid via GCash. Good to know that SSS premium contribution can also be done on GCash. Yay!
