Did you forget your SSS Number? Here are the ways how to know your Social Security Number as well as verifying if it’s yours. Like the TIN, one can only have a single SS Number. If you are employed, especially by big companies, SSS Contribution is one of the deductions you will have. So that’s why it’s important to remember it.

1. Check your Documents or IDs

One of the best places to find your SS Number is through your documents or IDs. My old company ID had my SSS Information on it and TIN; you may want to check that. The old blue SSS ID has the SSS number but the UMID Card, though, only offers you the CRN and not the SSS Number. Also, you can find your SS Number in your payslip as information may be placed there.

You can also check your E-1 Form; it’s a pink form used when registering for an SSS. I had it when I registered way back in 2014. I think it’s not used from 2016 until the present as registration is online. You can see your SS Number there.

If you have been self-employed, you can also check your past receipts. You can see your SSS number there at the top.

2. Contact your Employer

You can contact your employer as they know your SS Number. It is recorded in their database or file. The ones who usually have them are the HR, Accounting, or Admin departments. They can enter your name, and it will appear in their database.

However, if you have resigned already, you can still call them. Especially if it’s not too long. They may retain some of your details. If not, you can check the next steps.

3. Browse through your e-mail

If you registered with SSS online, then you can check your SS Number in your e-mail. It is indicated there once your registration is successful. Browse through your e-mail or just type “SSS.” You’ll eventually find it if you haven’t deleted it from your inbox.

4. Check online
