As specified in Section 24 of the SS Law, it is necessary for job applicants to present to their employers a valid SSS number before they can be considered for employment. And for those who are first time job applicants, you must first secure your SS number before applying for a job vacancy. And to do that, you may personally apply at any of the SSS offices near your area or you may initially apply online and submit the documentary requirements afterwards. To apply for an SS number online, just follow these simple steps:
- Fill up the Applicant Record Verification form found HERE and press Submit.
- A link shall be sent to the email you provided which will enable you to continue with your SS Number application. Note: The link shall expire in 5 days and once it expires, you will have to repeat the first step of the registration process.
- Once the link is clicked, you must supply all the required information.
Be sure to review and correct your electronically filled out registration form. Once an SSS Number is already generated, you will need to go to the SSS Branch to correct your information. - After clicking the “Generate SS Number” button, the system will display your SSS number and an option to print their ePersonal Record and SS Number Slip. You will also receive an email confirmation which indicates your SS number, a copy of your SS Number Slip and other instruction to complete your application.
