How to Check Your SSS Contributions Online in 2026
If you’re planning to claim your SSS Maternity Benefit in 2026, one of the most important things you need to do early is to check your SSS contributions online.
Why? Because even if you’ve been a member for years, your claim can still be denied if your contributions are incomplete, late, or unposted.
This guide will show you the step-by-step process on how to check your SSS contributions online, how to spot issues, and how this check helps you qualify for maternity benefits — especially for expectant moms in 2026.
💡 Why Checking Your Contributions Matters for SSS Maternity Benefits
Your SSS contributions are the foundation of your maternity benefit eligibility.
To qualify, you need at least 3 valid monthly contributions within your qualifying period — a specific 12-month window before your expected delivery date (EDD).
If your payments are missing, posted late, or incorrectly recorded, your maternity claim could be denied — even if you thought you were updated.
That’s why every expectant mom should regularly check her online SSS records — it’s your first step toward securing your benefits.
🧭 Step-by-Step: How to Check Your SSS Contributions Online in 2026
🖥️ Step 1: Go to the My.SSS Portal
Visit the official My.SSS website and click “Member Login.” If you don’t have an account yet, click “Register” to create one using your SSS number, email, and mobile number.
💡 Tip: Use an email address you still actively use — SSS sends verification links there.
🔑 Step 2: Log in to Your My.SSS Account
Enter your registered email or user ID and password. Once you’re in, you’ll see your SSS dashboard.
📋 Step 3: Navigate to ‘Inquiry’ → ‘Contributions’
From the top menu, select “Inquiry”, then click “Contributions.” This section shows your posted monthly contributions, separated by year and payment source (employer, voluntary, OFW, self-employed, etc.).
🔍 Step 4: Review Your Posted Months
You’ll see a table listing:
Year
Months with contribution amounts
Type of member (Employed, Voluntary, Self-Employed)
Check if any months are blank or missing — those are unpaid or unposted contributions.
🧾 Step 5: Save or Print a Copy
Click “Print” or take a screenshot. Keeping a digital copy is useful when filing maternity benefit claims or checking your qualifying period.
🧮 How Checking Contributions Helps You with the Qualifying Period
Once you know your Expected Delivery Date (EDD), you can figure out your qualifying period — or better yet, use the 👉 SSS Maternity Qualifying Period Calculator 2026 to compute it automatically.
Your qualifying period determines which 12 months SSS will look at to count your contributions. Payments outside that range don’t count toward maternity benefits.
🗓️ Example:
If your EDD is July 2026, your qualifying period is April 2025 – March 2026. That means your payments for those months must include at least 3 valid contributions.
If you find that you missed months during this window, you can still pay for upcoming quarters before the cutoff to qualify.
📖 Real-Life Stories of Moms Who Checked Early
Clarisse’s Story – Office Worker Turned Freelancer
Clarisse from Makati stopped working in 2025 and became a freelancer. Her EDD was in May 2026. When she checked her SSS contributions online, she saw her employer had already paid for the months that counted in her qualifying period. Because she checked early, she didn’t panic — her claim was approved smoothly.
Rowena’s Story – OFW on Vacation Leave
Rowena from Dubai was pregnant with an EDD in November 2026. When she logged in to her My.SSS account, she saw her voluntary payments were missing for February 2026. She immediately settled them before the cutoff — saving her eligibility.

⚠️ Common Issues You Might Find (and How to Fix Them)
❌ Missing Contributions
Sometimes your employer delays posting or forgets to remit payments. ✅ Fix: Submit a copy of your payslips to SSS as proof.
❌ Wrong Membership Type
If you switched jobs or became self-employed but didn’t update your membership, payments may not reflect. ✅ Fix: Update your status immediately at any SSS branch.
❌ Late Payments
Payments after the quarterly deadline are not counted. ✅ Fix: Pay contributions early — don’t wait for the last week of the quarter.
❌ Unposted Payments
It can take a few days for SSS to post online payments. ✅ Fix: Keep your payment receipts until your account shows the update.
