SSS members can now receive claims, benefits thru PayMaya

Members of state-run pension fund Social Security System (SSS) can now receive the proceeds from their claims and benefits through digital mobile wallet PayMaya.

“SSS members only need to enroll their PayMaya accounts through the My.SSS member portal by entering their PayMaya-registered mobile number under the ‘Account Number’ field at the ‘Bank Enrollment’ portion of the portal,” PayMaya said.

Once the account is enrolled, proceeds from the SSS funeral and unemployment benefits, among others, may be coursed through the member’s PayMaya account.

“Soon, members may also receive their calamity, salary, and other loan proceeds via PayMaya,” it said.

The move is part of SSS’s efforts to migrate to a “check-less” disbursement process and completely electronic way to distribute funds and other proceeds to their members in response to the growing need to go digital and practice physical distancing given the current public health situation.

“As the country deals with the effects of the pandemic, our digitalization efforts at SSS become a crucial part in ensuring that we deliver not just continuous but also safe service to all of our members,” SSS president Aurora Ignacio said.

“We are glad to continue expanding our partnership with PayMaya not just in allowing electronic payments of member contributions but in the fast and safe disbursement of their benefits as well,” Ignacio said. -MDM, GMA News
