File two copies with supporting documents at an SSS branch, or use My.SSS online simple-correction submission when your change type is covered by SSS circular guidelines. Members with certain benefit claims may be excluded from online simple corrections—confirm on official SSS materials.

What You’ll Need

Use this as a preparation checklist. Items marked “If it applies” are situational.

  • Accomplished SSS Form E-4 (two copies for branch filing)

    Official source

    Download from sss.gov.ph. Indicate the data fields to correct or update.

  • Supporting documents for the specific change type

    Official source

    E-4 instructions list documentary requirements by change category (name, birthdate, dependents, bank, status tagging, and others). Bring what matches your request.

  • Valid IDs of the member (and representative if any)

    Official source

    Present originals and submit photocopies as the branch or portal requires.

  • Online simple-correction eligibility, if using My.SSS

    If it appliesOfficial source

    Only change types SSS classifies as simple corrections may be filed online. Members with certain retirement/disability/death/funeral claims may be excluded from the online service.

How To Do It

  1. 1

    Identify the exact data fields to change

    Official source

    Wrong or incomplete change requests delay posting. Match E-4 checkboxes to your issue.

  2. 2

    Gather supporting documents from the E-4 list

    Official source

    Civil-registry proofs are commonly required for name and birth corrections; relationship proofs for dependents.

  3. 3

    File online (simple corrections) or submit E-4 at an SSS branch

    Official source

    Keep the receiving stub or online transaction number.

  4. 4

    Confirm the updated record in My.SSS Inquiry

    Official source

    Do not assume approval until the corrected data appears or SSS notifies you.

Fees

Getting an SS Number is separate from paying contributions. Confirm contribution amounts on official SSS channels.

Important Notes

  • Do not apply for a second SS Number to “fix” data

    Official source

    SSS instructs members to correct records—not to obtain another SS Number.
