Are you an SSS Member already?

you are.  good.

no matter how rich you are, always good to have money tucked away that is tax free, and seconded by the government (guaranteed by the government), and easy enough to manage.

you arent?  why not?
if you are a government employee, then that's okay.  you'll have a gsis pension that's most likely bigger than the SSS pension.

however, if you are a doctor of medicine, a physician, then you definitely have a private practice - that's where the big bucks are, right?  then, you can be an SSS member as a self-employed individual.  besides, you've probably been already bir-mapped.  then, hey be a member. SSS has made it very easy. 

if you are a government employee, but work at a second job in the private sector, then most likely you are an SSS member, but at a much lower MSC (monthly salary credit).  you can increase your MSC by paying voluntarily until your MSC is at maximum. SSS has since changed his ruling. it used to be that employment was primary.  now, it is additive. remember to check the postings.  enroll in the online inquiry.

Or perhaps, you are a government employee but have a small sideline.  For example, you crochet and sell your pieces in .... sulit or ebay  or simply to your friends. you can opt to be a member.  apply under the expanded membership.

will post on expanded membership soon.
