Top 5 Ways to Pay your SSS Contribution Online
With the things that are going on with the world right now due to COVID-19, it has affected how we live, how we work, how we engage with other people and a lot more. The world at large has had to renegotiate the common norms of social activity with distancing measures that are increasing daily. And while we still wanted to be on top of our monthly responsibilities including our bills payment like SSS contribution, most of the establishments, offices and payment centers are closed. Life of all Cebuanos was changed on the midnight of Friday, 27th March when Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia announced a month-long Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in an attempt to flatten the curve of COVID-19 cases.
While people working in essential industries such as healthcare and food production were exempted, for the majority of us we found ourselves in a situation where we weren’t allowed to leave our homes unless to stock essential supplies such as food and medicine.
We’ve put together a list of online apps where you can pay your SSS contribution online.
1. GCASH
GCash is a digital wallet that allows you to put money in it and use for multiple cashless transactions such as paying bills, sending money, buying load, savings and even for online shopping. The cash being digital makes it easy to do transactions with it, empowering the user to leverage it to do work without as much effort.
Aside from paying your utility bills, you can also pay your SSS contribution. With the GCash App, SSS Contributions are actually posted real time or just few minutes after you paid your contribution. It's very easy, free of charge and hassle free!
If you don't have the app yet, you can definitely register online on their website or you may download the app in your phone through Google Play.
Below is the easy guide on how to pay your SSS contribution online using GCash.
- You need to secure a Payment Reference Number or PRN. This is a reference number of the payment transaction that you are going to make. You will not be able to process your payment unless you have the PRN. You have to get one every time you pay your contribution.
- Open your GCash app. Select the ‘Pay Bills’ option.
- From the list of bills payment categories, select ‘Government’.
- From the list of Government agencies, select ‘SSS-PRN’.
- Fill out the online transaction form and provide the following details: Account Type, Payment Reference Number, Amount, and your email address.
- Click ‘Next’ and complete the transaction.
Once done, you’ll receive an SMS and email notification that the transaction has been completed. The payment will be instantly posted to your account. You can confirm it by logging in to your online SSS account.

1. Log in to the SSS mobile app using your My.SSS account.
2. At the homepage, tap on the “Generate PRN” or Payment Reference Number button, fill in all the necessary information for your contribution payment, and verify your PRN request details.
3. Once the PRN has been generated, click on the Pay button and choose the payment method of your choice. Click the “Pay with PayMaya” button in the payment page. Log in using the mobile number and password associated with your PayMaya account.
You will receive a One-Time PIN (OTP) that you need to enter to verify the transaction. Once done, click “Confirm Payment” to finish the transaction.
4. Once payment is successful, the contribution payment will be reflected in the “My Contributions” section of the app.
