FAQ
❓ Freelancer/self-employed, pwede mag-SSS loan?
Yes! Basta mag-register as voluntary member at bayaran ang 36 monthly contributions. Minimum contribution: ~₱1,000/month (2026). After 3 years, eligible ka na.
❓ May existing salary loan pa ako. Pwede pa ba mag-loan ulit?
Hindi pwede mag-take ng 2 salary loans simultaneously. Kailangan munang bayaran fully ang existing loan. Exception: calamity loan (pwede on top ng salary loan kung 50%+ paid).
❓ Paano kung late ang payment?
May penalty interest (1% per month on unpaid). Tapos hindi ka pwede mag-renew ng loan hanggang ma-settle ang arrears. Pro tip: set up auto-debit para hindi malimutan.
❓ Ilang beses pwede mag-loan sa SSS?
Unlimited. Basta bayaran mo ang current loan, pwede ka mag-apply ulit kaagad. Maraming members na yearly nag-re-renew ng salary loan — normal at legal ito.
