Paying the SSS contribution for Household Help

If you have household help, you must pay the SSS contribution, employer share of your household help.  You are employers and they - your household help - are your employees.  Like any employer, you are liable for these payments.  That is, SSS can sue you, and can throw you in jail (but SSS is kind and if you pay, no jail time at all).

These are the SSS definitions -

Household Helper/ Househelper/ Kasambahay
Any person who renders domestic or household services exclusively to a Household Employer, who receives compensation for such services.
Example :  Family Driver, Babysitter, Gardener, Cook, Nursemaid or Yaya, Laundrywoman, ....

Household Employer
Any person who engages the services of a Household Helper, etc. and who actually pays compensation for such services.

Domestic or Household Services

Service rendered by the Household Helper, etc. in the Employer's home or other areas that the Household Employer may designate, which is usually necessary for the maintenance of the Employer's household, including ministering to the personal comfort and convenience of the household

Household
The immediate members of the family of the Household Employer including all occupants of the house that are directly provided services by the Household Helper, etc.

If you have been paying the SSS contributions using your SSS number, this is no longer correct.  All Household Employers must be issued Employer Numbers (ER#).  If you have not been issued this ER#, please ask the MAC staff to assist you.  Or you may click to email member relations or post a comment on your issues.  Remember to also ask that previous contributions be moved to your new ER number.  This is supposed to be automatic but it doesnt hurt to remind SSS.

If you are a new employer  you need to fill up these forms:  
ER Registration Form (click for the requirements to process this form)
Employment Report
and the L-501 Card

UPDATE: DONT FORGET THE KASAMBAHAY BILL HAS BEEN SIGNED INTO LAW.
