New online Registration Procedures for Employers
1. New online registration procedures for employers
in the SSS website
The SSS website has started implementing the three-phase online registration
procedures for employers beginning 22 July 2011 to ensure the accuracy and validity
of the information pertaining to the employer and its authorized signatory, including
their respective e-mail addresses. This aims to minimize, if not eliminate, incidents of
failed registration and/or non-receipt of e-mail from the SSS Web on registration
outcome.
Phase 1 requires the employer to provide the following information: employer ID
and branch code, date of coverage, address, postal code, company e-mail address,
and preferred user ID. Upon submission of the supplied information, the same will be
checked with the employer’s SSS records. If correct, the system will display the
message that an e-mail has been sent to the company e-mail address. The said e-
mail will advise the employer to click on the given link to proceed to the next phase
(Phase 2) of the registration. In case, however, that the information supplied is
different from SSS records, appropriate error message/s will be displayed on-screen
to inform and guide the employer registrant.
Phase 2, on the other hand, asks the employer to provide the following
information on the employer’s authorized signatory: SS number, first name, middle
name, last name, and e-mail address. Upon submission of the information, the SSS
Web will electronically send the employer registration information to the employer’s
servicing branch for confirmation of the authorized signatory.
Phase 3 of the registration requires the SSS servicing branch to confirm/approve
the employer authorized signatory by verifying if the said signatory appears in the
company’s Specimen Signature Card (SS Form L-501) on file with the branch.

2. The employer’s registration will be successful once the SSS servicing branch
confirms/approves the employer authorized signatory. An email will be sent to the
company e-mail address containing the company user ID and password. If the
authorized signatory is not confirmed / approved by the servicing branch, the e-mail
will inform the employer of the unsuccessful registration and of the rejection reason.
Employers with failed registration may seek the help of the nearest SSS branch office
or call (632) 9206446-55 or e-mail member_assistance@sss.gov.ph for assistance.
For employer web registrants prior to 22 July 2011 who were not yet able to
secure their passwords as of this time, the same will have to be picked up by the
authorized employer representative at their SSS servicing branch.
