Have you paid your SSS yet? We have just paid ours for the first quarter of 2015. Last year, we skipped several months due to financial constraints but this year, we want to start with a better year in paying our dues. As a work at home mom, it definitely pays to pay SSS because it’s like a barnyard of benefits when time comes.
If you think you are already late for this quarter, there’s still a few days left. Check your SSS number and see this SSS 2015 schedule of payment and contribution.

Sample Benefits
Take like my father who had turned senior two years before. He was able to contribute at least the minimum amount of number of contributions on SSS but he had loans which he wasn’t able to pay for so many years. We thought he wouldn’t be able to get anything from SSS because he had totally neglected his SSS membership. Fortunately, he was able to realize he still had his initial contributions and tried to check with SSS. He was able to get a lumpsum amount of P90,000 and he currently receives at least P4,000 to P6,000 a month, and all his debts were already paid.
If you don’t pay SSS, I suggest it’s time to really check on it and fill up. It’s like paying forward for your future and your beneficiaries.
