Mas mabilis ng mag-transact ngayon sa SSS kung ito ay gagawin via online. Hindi mo na kailangan pa magprint o magpaprint ng mga kung anu-anong forms at requirements para lang mag-apply ng loan or mga benefits. Maari mo na ring makita ang mga contribution mo simula nang ikaw ay naging member ng ahensya. Kailangan lamang na ikaw ay registered sa kanilang website upang iyong ma-access ang sariling account. Ngunit, paano nga ba mag-register ng inyong account online? Narito ang step-by-step process kung paano makakapagregister ng inyong account sa SSS:

1. Magpunta sa official website ng SSS - www.sss.gov.ph

- Maari mong hanapin via Google or kahit anong search engine ang website ng SSS o di kaya naman ay i-type sa address bar ang kanilang website address. (Maari mo na rin pindutin ang link sa taas para mas mabilis mong mapuntahan ang website)

- Kapag iyo ng napuntahan ang website, kailangan mo lamang i-check ang box upang malaman ng website na ikaw ay hindi isang robot

- Kapag nalagyan na ng check ang box, pindutin lamang ang Submit button upang ma-access ang website ng tuluyan.

- Minsan ay may lalabas na box para mapatunayan ng website na ikaw ay hindi robot. Sagutan lamang ang tanong na lalabas at pindutin na ang Submit.

2. Pindutin ang MEMBER button na makikita sa gitnang kanang bahagi ng website. Ito ay ang nasa taas ng EMPLOYER button.

- Kapag napindot na ang MEMBER button, automatic na ikaw ay mapupunta sa panibagong tab kung saan ikaw ay pwedeng mag-login gamit ang iyong credentials. Ngunit dahil ikaw ay magre-register pa lamang, pindutin ang "Not yet register in MY.SSS?" na link.

3. May limang information na pwedeng gamitin upang ika'y makapagregister ng tuluyan sa SSS Website. Bukod sa iyong personal details, ang mga sumusunod ay kinakailangang i-input sa iyong account. Ito ang magsisilbing ticket for successful registration.

Pumili ka lamang ng isa sa mga sumusunod na information na mayroon ka:

A.  Savings Account Number / Citibank Cash Card / UBP Quick Card / UMID - ATM Saving Account Number Registered in SSS

B. Mobile Number Registered in SSS

C. UMID CARD (Ang hinihingi ng website ay ang iyong UMID CARD PIN CODE at Mother's Maiden Name reported in the E6 - UMID Card Application Form)

D. Employer ID Number / Household Employer ID Number

E. Payment Reference Number / SBR No. / Payment Receipt Transaction Number

- Kapag ika'y nakapili na, magbubukas ng bagong tab patungo sa registration site. (Suggestion: Para sa mga employed, pinakamadali kung pipiliin ang Employer ID Number / Household Employer ID Number sapagkat ito ay hihingiin mo lamang sa iyong pinapasukan. Ngunit kung may information ka rin naman on-hand ng ibang options, piliin kung saan ka mapapadali)

4. Punan lamang ang lahat ng kinakailangang detalye. Lahat ng may asterisk (*) na pula ay dapat lagyan ng tamang information.

📌Tandaan: Hindi magiging successful ang registration kung kulang at mali ang information na inyong ilalagay. Pagkatapos ng inyong mailing address ay kailangan mong sagutan ang katanungan sa napili ninyong option mula sa Number 3. Siguraduhin din na tama at valid ang email address na inyong ireregister para sa account.

5. Isulat ang code na makikita sa box. Kailangan ay eksakto ang code na isusulat ninyo. Pagkatapos ay i-tick lamang ang check box para i-accept ang Terms of Service. Maari mo ring i-click ang link para mabasa ang kabuuan ng Terms of Service ng SSS. Pindutin ang SUBMIT button.

6. Magsesend ng email ang SSS gamit ang email address na ito: web.notifications@sss.gov.ph. Hindi ka maaring magreply sa email na ito.

- Kinakailangan mong pindutin ang ibinigay na link upang ma-validate ang iyong email at maituloy ang iyong registration.

- Maaari mong ma-activate ang account sa loob ng limang araw. Kapag hindi ito nagawa, ang link ay ma-eexpire at magreregister kang muli.

7. I-set ang password para sa iyong account.

- Once na na-click mo na ang link na ibinigay via email, ito ay direkta na sa paggawa ng iyong password. Tandaan ang mga pwedeng characters para sa password:

• Eight to 20 alphanumeric numbers
• The first character is an alphabet
• No special characters
• Must be different from your user ID

- Dalawang beses mong ilalagay ang password na ginawa. I-click lamang ang Submit button upang tumuloy. Kapag match ang mga passwords, ikaw ay automatic na mapupunta sa login page.

MGA PAALALA:

📌Kung maging unsuccessful ang inyong registration, mangyaring ulitin lamang ang proseso.

📌Maari ring magsend ng email sa SSS kung may ma-encounter na mga problema: onlineserviceassistance@sss.gov.ph o di kaya naman ay sa member_relations@sss.gov.ph

[ENGLISH] Goals for 2020: Are they still worth fighting for?

Many of us have been excited to welcome the year with big hearts and overflowing hopes. Hope that will eventually push your goals and targets to reach their peak. Everyone hoped that this year is the year to push and aim for success. But, just few months ago, a so-called pandemic ruined each one of us. A tragedy that was never expected at all. An enemy that we cannot see nor touch. A battle that we should fight until the end. A situation that we need to find the purpose.

Christmas season is just around the corner. It was like nothing happened in the past seven to eight months - that all of a sudden time flied so fast. It was in the third month of this year that our lives began to falter. Month-on-month, you expect that everything will be alright and everything will be just fine. Depression and anxiety attacked each other's hearts. You lied down everyday and wished that this tragedy will stop. And then September came, one question popped in your mind - should you still celebrate the most wonderful time of the year? Do you still have the reason or reasons to celebrate? Maybe, yes, maybe no. But for me, to answer that question, I think it is still a YES - we had that one reason to celebrate - and that is we survived this battle. You are still breathing as of the moment you are reading this article. Be glad and be thankful that you've come this far despite of high number of cases that were affected by the virus and some also died because of fighting the battle. You are still lucky that you have food to eat on your table and still earning a decent salary or income from your job or business.

You and I both have goals for this year. And yet, you can't see the light if those are still reachable.  You are thinking if your goals are still worth fighting for. But how? You can't seem to see the reason nor the purpose why we are experiencing this kind of situation. Unemployment rate increased, several businesses shut down and many people are struggling with their day-to-day lives just to survive and continue to live. Still, you hold the hope that this year will still end brightly.

This year might be the worst year that happened in your entire life since you were born but one thing for sure - everything happened for a reason. You may not yet to find the answer or answers to your questions now but eventually it will come. You maybe asking also yourself if your goals are still worth fighting for, and for me, it is still a YES! 😊  I don't know any of your background but as you are reading this, don't loose hope. Our life is not about who will become successful first nor who will reach his/her goals first. It is about appreciating what you are right now, what you have right now - appreciate people who support you in your endeavors - be grateful to every single day that you wake up from your beautiful sleep.

Instill positivity in your hearts and the rest will definitely follow. Have faith and believe that the sun will shine soon the brightest in your life. It is now the time to set your priorities while searching for the answers to your questions. Don't give up - this is not the best time to do it as well. Hence, be strong and be brave to fight for your fears and anxiety. Don't waste your time dealing with negative thoughts. Reach out to your family and friends. Do things that will calm your mind. Speak to people who will most likely to share positive ideas with you.

If you feel that your goals are not quite reachable this time, you can surely change those and it is not too late to do that. Because of this pandemic, many had adjusted and things did not do well just as you expected. Just as the famous line says, "The best is yet to come". Don't be tired in waiting. Associate it with hard work and perseverance. Life is full of surprises - either good or bad - we should be used to it.
