Kasambahay Bill takes effect 3 June

so.  you must pay for the SSS contributions of your kasambahay.
BUT, did you know that you are required by SSS to pay for your kasambahay as early as 1993?
1 September 1993 to be exact

This was under the administration of   Renato Valencia , Circular 21-V and was backed up by RA7655.
i will be updating this with a link to a copy of  RA7655

So if you had a kasambahay then who is still your kasambahay now, then you are liable to pay for SSS since then.

anyway.

at present -
household employers must get their household employer SSS number.  the old system of using the household employer's personal SSS number is no longer correct.  however this is easy enough to do as the nearest SSS branch will give the householder their household employer SSS number by simply submitting SSS Form R-1, which is the Employer Registration Number.  technically, the householder should get a Registration Certificate as proof that he is paying for his or her kasambahay(s)


the kasambahay MUST have an SSS number. If he or she does not have a number then, then he must apply by accomplishing SSS Form E-1, which is the Personal Record Form, supported by a copy of 1 primary or 2 secondary documents to prove identity.  The original must be presented likewise.

Otherwise, the kasambahay cannot avail of benefits since his or her membership is only temporary until legal proof of identity is presented.  the burden of proof is ON the kasambahay, NOT the household employer.

however, the household employer can use the temporary number to report and pay for contributions.

Reporting and Paying for your kasambahay is easy - you as household employer need to use the SSS Form R1-A, called Employment Report Form.  You also need to submit an accomplished SSS Form L-501, or Specimen Signature Card.

The date of coverage should be the same as the start of service of your kasambahay.  If for some reason,  the date of coverage is after the start of service then you would have to also submit a Statement of the Monthly Salaries of your kasambahay(s).  This will be evaluated and you will be billed, with penalties at 3% per month..

payment....
