The Philippine Social Security System (SSS) is a state-run, social insurance program in the Philippines, it administers social security protection to workers in the private sector, promotes social justice, and provides meaningful protection to members and their families against the hazards of disability, sickness, maternity, old age, death and other contingencies resulting in loss of income or financial burden as part of their Mission.
Coverage is the mandatory registration of employees, employers, and self-employed persons with the SSS, with corresponding payment and remittance of social security contributions. But, covered employed members are entitled to a package of benefits under the Security System (SS) and Employees’ Compensation (EC) Programs in the event of sickness, maternity, disability, old age, and death. Self-employed and voluntary members also get the same benefits as covered employed members, except for the benefits under the EC program. Basically, the SSS provides for a partial replacement of income lost on account of the aforementioned contingencies.
