To pay your SSS contributions:

• Log in to your SSS online account

• Enroll employees in the SSS Payment Reference Number (PRN) System

• Review the employee list and ensure details are correct and updated

• Payment partners: Bayad Center, GCash, Ventaja, iRemit, Skyfreight, PinoyExpress

• Go to the nearest SSS office and pay the contributions with the forms
• After payment, update the SSS R3 file saved in a flash drive
• Submit the receipt and updated file to the SSS office

• Pay all unpaid contributions

• Be held liable for a criminal offense, which may result in a fine and/or imprisonment
