The Social Security System (SSS) asked its members and covered employers to ensure the correctness and validity of their disbursement accounts upon enrolling in the Disbursement Account Enrollment Module (DAEM) through the My.SSS portal.
SSS President and CEO Aurora C. Iganacio, on Tuesday, March 9, warned that incorrect input of account number or uploaded proof of account will result in the rejection of disbursement account enrollment application.
"We urge our members and covered employers to triple-check the information they have entered before submission to the SSS to avoid inconveniences in their disbursement account enrollment," Ignacio said.
Members and employers are urged to comply with the following measures for a successful online registration.
- Upon registration, members and employers must ensure that their bank account is with a Philippine Electronic Fund Transfer System and Operations Network (PESONet) participating bank
- Member's name or the employer's business name registered in the SSS should be the same as the bank account being enrolled
- Bank account number should be entered and not the ATM card number
- For cash issued by banks, members and employers must ensure that the bank allows its use for SSS disbursements
- Bank account numbers must be written without spaces or any non-numeric characters
- For e-wallets and Remittance Transfer Companies (RTCs)/Cash Payout Outlets (CPOs), mobile numbers must be written in this format: 09171324567 or 09181324567, without spaces or non-numeric number
- Members must upload a proof of account through DAEM, acceptable proof of accounts include: photo or scanned copy of passbook, ATM card, validated deposit slip, bank certificate, foreign remittance receipt, or screenshot of online/mobile banking account
