The Social Security System (SSS) on Saturday announced that the contribution payment deadline for selected months in 2021 is extended to February 28 in areas declared under a state of calamity due to Typhoon Odette.

Contribution payments that may be made until the extended deadline are for the applicable months of November and December 2021 of business and household employers; and October to December 2021 of coverage and collection partners (CCPs), self-employed, voluntary, non-working spouse (SE/V/NWS) members, and land-based Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) members in the following regions: Region IV-B (MIMAROPA); Region VI (Western Visayas); Region VII (Central Visayas); Region VIII (Eastern Visayas); Region X (Northern Mindanao); and Region XIII (CARAGA).

“We have seen the adverse effects brought by Typhoon Odette to our fellow citizens last December. Through this extension, we aim to alleviate the worries of our members, employers, and CCPs in the affected areas by helping them to not miss their contribution payments or avoid the penalties of late payments,” SSS president and CEO Aurora Ignacio said in a statement.

For employers with approved installment proposals, their post-dated checks that fall due in December 2021 and January 2022 shall be deposited on or before February 28, 2022.

The SSS also opened a calamity assistance package for its members and pensioners affected by Typhoon Odette.
