SSS PRN 2025: How to Generate, Update, and Use Your Payment Reference Number Online

The SSS Payment Reference Number (PRN) lets you pay contributions and loans securely. This quick guide (web + app) shows how to generate, update/regenerate, and use your PRN for online or over‑the‑counter payments in the Philippines.

Quick checklist of what you need

• Active My.SSS account (or SSS Mobile App) and SSS number
• Valid email and mobile number registered with SSS
• Months/period you want to pay and expected amount
• Active payment method (bank app, GCash/PayMaya, over‑the‑counter partner)
• Screenshot or copy of PRN after generation

Generate PRN (My.SSS web)

1. Go to https://www.sss.gov.ph and log in to My.SSS.
2. From the dashboard, choose the e‑services or Payments section (look for "Generate PRN" or "Payment Reference Number").
3. Select the contribution type (employee/self‑employed/voluntary), choose the months/period, then confirm the computed amount.
4. Click Generate PRN. Copy or screenshot the PRN (unique numeric string) and note any reference/expiration info shown.

Tip: If you don't see the option, update your profile details first or check SSS advisories for system maintenance.

Generate PRN (SSS Mobile App)

1. Open the SSS Mobile App and sign in.
2. Tap Payments or Contributions, then choose "Generate PRN".
3. Select months/coverage and confirm the amount.
4. Save the PRN shown - you'll use this when paying through partner channels.

For Employers (employer portal)

• Employer accounts generate PRNs via the employer dashboard for company contributions. Log in as employer, go to Contributions or Employer e‑Payments, select the employees/months, compute total, then generate PRN.
• Keep a copy of the PRN and give payment instructions to your cashier or bank.

Update, Cancel, or Regenerate a PRN

• PRNs are transaction‑specific. If you need to change months or amount, generate a new PRN - treat the old one as void.
• If a PRN expires or you haven't paid yet, regenerate a fresh PRN for the correct amount and period.
• Always use the latest PRN for payment to avoid mismatch or processing delays.

How to pay using PRN (common channels)

• Online banking (BPI, BDO, UnionBank, etc.): Go to Bills/Payments >gt; Select SSS (or "SSS PRN") >gt; Enter the PRN and amount >gt; Confirm.
• E‑wallets (GCash, PayMaya): Open Bills >gt; Government/SSS or use the Bills Payment tile >gt; Enter PRN >gt; Pay.
• Over‑the‑counter partners (Bayad Center, 7‑Eleven CLIQQ, M Lhuillier, Cebuana Lhuillier, banks): Provide PRN at payment counter; get official receipt.
• ATM or bank teller: Choose Bills Payment or present PRN to the teller.

Paying steps (example for e‑wallet or bank):

1. Choose Bills Payment and search "SSS" or "SSS PRN".
2. Enter PRN exactly as shown (no spaces if instructed).
3. Verify payee name and amount, then confirm payment.
4. Save the receipt or transaction reference.

Verify payment and posting

• After paying, wait 1–3 business days for the transaction to post to SSS records (timing varies by partner).
• Check My.SSS transaction history or contribution/payment records to confirm posting.
• Keep your payment receipt in case SSS requires proof.

Common problems & fixes

• PRN not accepted by biller: Verify you selected the correct SSS biller option (some partners label "SSS PRN" specifically). If rejected, regenerate PRN.
• Payment not posted after 3 days: Keep receipt and contact SSS via official channels (use the Contact Us page on sss.gov.ph or the SSS Facebook page for advisories).
• Wrong amount paid: Save proof and contact SSS for adjustment - do not generate a new PRN for the same period until advised.

Quick tips to save time

• Take a screenshot of the PRN and confirmation page.
• Pay promptly after generating PRN to avoid expiry or rate changes.
• For recurring payments, employers may coordinate with their bank for e‑payment arrangements to avoid manual PRN generation for each employee each month.
