SSS implements more security measures in its online portal


The Social Security System (SSS) said Friday that it has implemented additional security features in its online portal to protect the accounts of its members, employers, and pensioners.

In a statement, SSS president and CEO Michael Regino said among the new security measures being implemented in the My.SSS portal are the stricter guidelines when enrolling a disbursement account in the Disbursement Account Enrollment Module (DAEM), which require members to upload a proof of disbursement account, a valid government-issued identification card or document, and chest-level selfie/photo holding the uploaded proof of disbursement account and ID card/document.

Additional internal procedures are also in place to further improve the evaluation and approval process of disbursement accounts, he said.

“We are continuously monitoring our systems to make necessary improvements to protect the accounts of our stakeholders and ensure that benefit and loan proceeds are disbursed to the rightful recipients. Within this month, the Online Member Data Change Request – Updating of Contact Information will also be resumed through the My.SSS Portal with enhanced security features,” Regino said.

“We encourage our stakeholders to refrain from sharing their login credentials and regularly change their passwords so that their accounts will not be compromised. Like we said before, these are like your ATM PIN, anyone with this information could use your account without your authorization,” he added.

Members, employers, and pensioners are advised to report to the nearest SSS branch or send an email to SSS’ Special Investigation Department at fid@sss.gov.ph or call (02) 8924-7370 should they encounter any unauthorized transaction in their My.SSS account or online fraud activity.

SSS is prepared to file the necessary charges against individuals who defraud its members, Regino said. —LBG, GMA News
