SSS Salary Loan Release Date: How Long Does It Take and What You Need to Know

When you apply for an SSS Salary Loan, one of the most common questions is:
“Kailan ko makukuha ang loan?”

Good news — this guide explains how long it takes for your SSS salary loan to be released, how to check your status, and what to do if it’s delayed. Whether you’re a first-time borrower or a returning member, this article will help you understand the process clearly and avoid common mistakes that delay your loan.

💡 What Is an SSS Salary Loan?

An SSS Salary Loan is a cash loan given to active members of the Social Security System (SSS).
It’s designed to help employees, self-employed, or voluntary members cover short-term financial needs — like paying bills, tuition, medical expenses, or emergency costs.

SSS loans are deducted through payroll (for employed members) or payable directly to SSS (for self-employed and voluntary members).

📌 Interest Rate: 8% per annum (based on diminishing balance)
📌 Loan Term: Up to 24 months
📌 Service Charge: 1% of approved amount (deducted upon release)

⏳ How Long Before the SSS Salary Loan Is Released?

The SSS salary loan release date depends on how you applied and how your employer certifies it.

Here’s the typical timeline:

Step	Process	Estimated Duration
1️⃣	Online Application (via My.SSS Portal)	10–15 minutes
2️⃣	Employer Certification (for employed members)	1–5 working days
3️⃣	SSS Loan Processing and Approval	2–3 working days
4️⃣	Credit to Bank or Disbursement Account	1–2 working days
✅ Total (Typical Timeline)	Around 3–7 working days from certification date

📝 Note: If your employer delays certification or if your disbursement account is invalid, release may take longer.

🏦 How Will You Receive Your Loan?

Once approved, your SSS salary loan proceeds are credited directly to your registered bank account.
SSS calls this the Disbursement Account Enrollment Module (DAEM) — where you must enroll your account before applying for any benefit or loan.

✅ Accepted Banks Include:
BDO, BPI, Metrobank, Landbank, PNB, UnionBank, RCBC, Chinabank, Security Bank, and others enrolled under PESONet.

💡 Tip: Always double-check your bank details under “Disbursement Account” in your My.SSS profile before submitting your loan.
