Handy Ways To Use SSS Text Inquiry

Here are some of the most useful keywords you can text to 2600 to get info back from SSS:

Check Your Payment Reference Number

To get your PRN, text:

SSS PRN <SS Number> <PIN> <Birthday MM/DD/YYYY>

You’ll get a reply with the PRN and amount owing for any months. Having your PRN handy makes it easy to pay contributions at authorized payment centers. No more guessing how much you owe each month!

See Your Contribution Status

Text this to see the number of contributions made and the date of your last payment:

It’s reassuring to get confirmation of all your payments over the years in one text. This can also help you spot any missed contributions. You can also check the SSS contribution table to see the payment schedule and amounts owed based on your income bracket.

Check Your Loan Balance

If you have an SSS loan, here’s how to check the remaining balance:

SSS LOANBAL <SS Number> <PIN>

No need to dig up paperwork or count payments – SSS Text Inquiry gives you your current loan balance in seconds. Useful when you’re budgeting to pay off your loan faster.

Get Loan Application Status

To see if your loan app was approved and when, text:

Waiting to hear back on a loan application can be stressful. This lets you get status updates right on your phone so you don’t have to obsessively check your email.

Sickness – SSS STATUS Sickness <SS Number> <PIN>
Maternity – SSS STATUS Maternity <SS Number> <PIN>
