If you’ve already taken out an SSS Salary Loan and are wondering when you can apply again, here’s the short answer:
✅ You can apply for a new SSS Salary Loan once you’ve paid at least 50% of your current loan, and only if your loan is not past due.
But let’s break it down further so you’ll know exactly when and how often you can apply.
đź“Ś General Rule: 50% Payment Rule
You must pay at least half (50%) of your current loan balance before you can apply for another SSS Salary Loan.
Example:
You borrowed ₱20,000.
You’ve already paid ₱10,000.
âś… You can now apply for a renewal.
đź’ˇ SSS will deduct your remaining balance from the new loan.
⏱️ Is There a Waiting Period?
There’s no fixed number of months you need to wait, but you must meet the following conditions:
You’ve paid at least 50% of your previous loan.
Your existing loan is not overdue.
You have met the minimum contribution requirements (see below).
📆 Contribution Requirements (Still Apply Every Time You Apply)
Even if you’re applying for a second or third loan, you must still:
Have at least 36 total contributions
With 6 monthly contributions within the last 12 months
These contributions ensure that you’re actively paying into SSS and remain eligible for loans.
🧾 What Happens If I Apply Too Soon?
If you apply without meeting the conditions:
❌ Your loan will be automatically denied
🛑 If you have an overdue balance, you must settle it first
🔄 How the Renewal Works
When you qualify for a new loan:
SSS will offset the balance of your existing loan
Only the net amount will be disbursed to you
Example:
Old Loan Balance: ₱5,000
New Loan Approved: ₱20,000
You will receive ₱15,000
