Social Security System

The Social Security System (SSS) in the Philippines provides social security and financial services to millions of workers, offering loans, pensions, and identification through initiatives like the EMV-enabled MySSS card. Recent reforms include lower loan interest rates, micro-lending programs, and pension increases aimed at improving financial inclusion and support for members. These efforts align with the government's push for digitalization and economic resilience, particularly for vulnerable groups like OFWs and calamity-affected individuals.
