After applying for an SSS Salary Loan, one of the most important things to know is how the loan proceeds will actually be released. Let’s walk you through the entire process, including how to make sure your loan gets to you without delays.
🏦 How SSS Releases Salary Loans
As of recent updates, the Social Security System (SSS) no longer issues checks for salary loan proceeds. Instead, they use electronic disbursement channels through the Disbursement Account Enrollment Module (DAEM).
Here’s how your loan gets to you:
✅ Step-by-Step Disbursement Process
Enroll your disbursement account Before applying, make sure your bank account, e-wallet, or UMID-ATM is enrolled and approved in the SSS DAEM via your My.SSS account.

Bank Account – credited directly
e-Wallet (GCash/PayMaya) – credited directly
UMID-ATM – funds can be withdrawn via ATM

Most members receive their loan within 3 to 7 working days after applying, depending on how fast:
