SSS online services unavailable from April 1-2 due to IT system maintenance

The Social Security System (SSS) said Thursday it is conducting a scheduled system maintenance activity on its information technology (IT) facilities from April 1 to 2, 2021.

“During this time, the following online channels, such as the SSS website (www.sss.gov.ph), My.SSS Portal, and SSS Mobile App, including online payment channels, will be temporarily unavailable,” the SSS said in an advisory.

“These service channels will resume operations on Saturday, April 3, 2021,” it said.

The pension fund explained that the system maintenance is part of its efforts to improve the accessibility of its online channels and provide a consistent and friendlier user experience to its stakeholders.

“Members, pensioners, covered employers, and the general public are advised to follow the pension fund’s official social media accounts on Facebook and YouTube at ‘Philippine Social Security System,’ Instagram at ‘mysssph,’ Twitter at ‘PHLSSS,’ or join its Viber Community at ‘MYSSSPH Updates’ to be updated about SSS programs and services,” it said. — Ted Cordero/RSJ, GMA News
