Becoming an SSS Member

Some new graduates think that paying to the SS as a volunteer member is a good thing to do so that they can get an SSS ID.

No.  One cannot start to be an SSS member by joining as a voluntary member.  If you persist, you will have problems later on when you start to claim your benefits - when you need it - so do not give yourself a headache.....

One can become an SSS member IF AND ONLY IF
             one is hired as an employee  OR
             one is self-employed

self-employed individuals are those who are in business for themselves or those who practice their profession ....

NOTE:  There are exceptions for OFWs
