Find out how workers can check their contribution records and the consequences of non-compliance. The Social Security System (SSS) in the Philippines has called on more than 1,200 employers across the country to settle their unremitted contributions to approximately 19,000 workers. The total amount of outstanding contributions is over P335 million. SSS President and CEO, Rolando Ledesma Macasaet, has urged workers to regularly check if their contribution records are updated using the my.sss portal accessible through smartphones. In case of non-compliance by employers, workers are advised to report it immediately to the nearest SSS branch office for investigation. The SSS has been actively pursuing delinquent employers through its Run After Contribution Evaders (RACE) operations. Violation notices have been issued to more than 1,200 employers. Macasaet emphasized the significance of up-to-date contribution records, as they determine eligibility for SSS benefits. Failure to update contribution records may result in workers being disqualified from claiming benefits or applying for loan programs. Non-compliance by employers can lead to criminal charges under Republic Act 11199, with penalties ranging from fines of P5,000 to P20,000 and imprisonment from six years and one day to 12 years.
