Answer two questions and we will show the exact steps, the amount to prepare, and your payment deadline.
What Is a PRN in SSS?
A Payment Reference Number (PRN) is the reference SSS uses to match a payment to the right member, period and amount. It is required for contributions and short-term loan payments under SSS’s real-time processing system: no PRN, no real-time posting. Each PRN is tied to the specific payment it was generated for, so generate a new one whenever the months, amount or membership type change.
How to Generate a PRN in My.SSS (Step by Step)
- Go to the My.SSS member portal and log in with your user ID and password.
- Open Payment Reference Number (PRN) (under the payments or contributions menu).
- Select your membership type (voluntary, self-employed, OFW, non-working spouse).
- Choose the applicable month(s) or quarter and your Monthly Salary Credit.
- Click Generate PRN, then save, print or screenshot the PRN and amount.

- Tap Generate PRN (or Payment Reference Number).

- Use the PRN to pay inside the app or through any accredited channel.
How to Get a PRN Without Internet Access
- SSS hotline: dial 1455 and request a PRN using your SS number.

Can Bayad Center or Other Payment Partners Generate a PRN?
Some accredited collecting partners and bills-payment apps can retrieve or generate a PRN for you when you give your SS number, but availability varies by outlet and app. The most reliable approach is to generate the PRN yourself in My.SSS or the SSS app before you pay. See how to pay SSS at Bayad Center.
PRN for Voluntary, Self-Employed and OFW Members
Self-paying members choose their own Monthly Salary Credit and pay the full 15%. Voluntary and self-employed members can pay monthly or quarterly; OFWs can pay for the whole year in advance. Check the exact amount for any salary with our SSS contribution calculator or the full SSS contribution table 2026–2027.
PRN for SSS Loan Payments
Short-term loans (salary, calamity and emergency loans) also need a PRN. Members find the loan PRN in their My.SSS loan statement or billing; employers paying through salary deduction use the loan collection list in their employer account. See the SSS salary loan interest rate and calculator.
How Long Is an SSS PRN Valid?
A PRN is meant for the specific payment and period it was generated for, so its usefulness ends once that payment is made or the payment deadline for that period passes. If your PRN is rejected as invalid or expired, simply generate a new one for the correct period. Never reuse an old PRN for a new payment.
Common PRN Problems and Fixes
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| “Invalid PRN” at the payment channel | Check every digit, then generate a fresh PRN for the right period |
| Payment not posted after a week | Send the receipt and PRN through uSSSaptayo or call 1455 |
| Wrong amount or months on the PRN | Generate a new PRN with the correct details before paying |
| Cannot log in to My.SSS | Use “Forgot password”, or request the PRN through the hotline or a branch |
