How Do I Know If My SSS Salary Loan Is Approved Through the Voucher?
Applying for an SSS Salary Loan is a big help, especially during financial emergencies or maternity leave. But once you’ve submitted your application, the big question is: “How do I know if my SSS salary loan is approved?”
The answer lies in one simple document — the SSS Loan Voucher.
This guide will help you understand how the voucher confirms your loan approval, what to look for in it, and how to read every important detail correctly so you can plan your budget confidently.
💡 What Is an SSS Loan Voucher?
The SSS Loan Voucher is an official document issued by the Social Security System (SSS) once your loan is approved and released.
It serves as your proof of approval, showing all the essential information such as:
The approved loan amount
Deductions (like service charge and interest)
The net amount credited to your account
The loan term and interest rate
And most importantly — your loan approval and release dates
If you’ve received this voucher (either through your My.SSS account or via email), that means your SSS salary loan has already been approved and processed.
🧭 How the Voucher Confirms Loan Approval
When your salary loan is approved, the voucher acts like your official notification and computation sheet. Here’s what to look for to confirm that your loan is approved:
✅ 1. “Loan Approved” or “Loan Released” Status
At the top portion of your voucher, you’ll see the status. If it says “Loan Released”, that’s your confirmation — SSS has already credited your loan amount to your chosen disbursement channel (UMID-ATM, PESONet, or GCash).
✅ 2. Release Date
You’ll see a date beside “Date of Release” or “Loan Release Date”. That’s the exact day SSS approved and sent your money. It usually arrives in your bank within 1–3 working days.
✅ 3. Transaction Reference Number
Every approved voucher includes a Transaction Reference Number (TRN) — your official loan ID for tracking. You can use it if you want to inquire about the loan through SSS customer service or in future renewals.
✅ 4. Approved Loan Amount and Net Proceeds
The approved loan amount is the total you’re entitled to. But the net proceeds (what you actually receive) confirm that the loan is finalized because all deductions have already been applied.
For example:
Description
Amount
Approved Loan
₱20,000
Less: Service Charge (1%)
₱200
Less: Pro-Rated Interest
₱219.18
Net Proceeds Released
₱19,580.82
When you see this breakdown on your voucher, it means your loan is complete and funds are ready.

💡 Tip: Once your loan is approved, you’ll also receive a text or email from SSS confirming that your loan has been credited to your registered disbursement account.
🧮 Understanding the Details on Your Loan Voucher
Your SSS voucher is like a transparent summary of your loan computation. Let’s break it down:
1. Member Information
Shows your name, SSS number, and employer (for employed members). Check this carefully — any mismatch can delay loan renewal later.
2. Loan Type and Term
Indicates if your loan is for 12 months (1-year) or 24 months (2-year) repayment. This determines how many monthly amortizations will be deducted.
3. Approved Loan Amount
This is based on your Average Monthly Salary Credit (AMSC) and contribution history:
Loan Type
Contribution Requirement
Loanable Amount
1-Year Loan
36 total, 6 in last 12 months
1× AMSC (max ₱25,000)
2-Year Loan
72 total, 6 in last 12 months
2× AMSC (max ₱50,000)
4. Interest Rate (8% per annum)
The voucher also shows your interest rate, which is 8% per year based on the diminishing balance.
5. Service Charge (1%)
Automatically deducted upon release. Example: ₱30,000 loan × 1% = ₱300 service charge.
6. Pro-Rated Interest Deduction
This covers the period between approval and the end of the next month.
Example computation (based on your JSON rule):
Loan approved: March 12, 2025
Interest coverage: March 12–April 30 (50 days)
Daily interest: ₱1,600 ÷ 365 = ₱4.38/day
₱4.38 × 50 = ₱219.18 (deducted upfront)
7. Net Proceeds
The final amount you’ll actually receive in your account after all deductions. This confirms that the loan is approved and funds are ready for release.
💻 Verify Your Loan Status Before Voucher Release
Sometimes, before the voucher becomes available, you can check your loan status under your My.SSS account:
Go to E-Services → Inquiry → Loans Info.
If it says “For Approval of Employer”, it’s still pending.
If it says “For Certification”, your employer needs to confirm your request.
If it says “Loan Released”, your voucher and funds are ready.
Once it’s in “Loan Released,” you can open the voucher PDF — that’s your official approval proof.
📅 When Will My Loan Be Credited?
After SSS approves and releases your loan (as shown in your voucher), the money will be credited as follows:
Channel
Expected Credit Time
UMID-ATM
Within 1–2 working days
PESONet (Bank Account)
1–3 working days
GCash (Disbursement Partner)
Usually within 1 working day
If your voucher says “Released” but no credit appears after 3 days, you can contact SSS with your Transaction Reference Number for follow-up.
