SSS: Self-employed, voluntary members have until Oct. 31 to pay Q3 contributions

Self-employed, voluntary, and non-working spouse members of the Social Security System (SSS) have until October 31 to pay their contributions covering the period July to September 2023.

The SSS made the reminder due to the long weekend in connection with the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections.

The pension fund, however, said the payment deadline reminder does not apply to land-based overseas Filipino workers.

The SSS said the contribution payment deadline for land-based OFW members for the applicable months of January to September of a given year is on December 31 of the same year, while for the applicable months of October to December of a given year, it is on January 31 of the succeeding year.

If the deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, payments may still be made on the next working day, it said.

The SSS said it has various accredited bank and non-bank collecting partners that offer over-the-counter and online payment options.

“These are in addition to the Automated Tellering System facilities located in selected SSS branches,” it said. —VBL, GMA Integrated News
