SSS backs govt drive for one-stop digital services

THE Social Security System (SSS) on Wednesday said it supported the government’s push for more connected and accessible public services by bringing the MySSS Card’s front-facing ID feature and selected member services to the eGovPH superapp.

On Oct. 21, 2026, SSS President and CEO Victor Alfonso Limlingan said he and his predecessor, now Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Secretary Robert Joseph de Claro, signed a data-sharing agreement to enable the integration.

The partnership came shortly after de Claro’s appointment as DICT secretary, following his tenure as SSS chief, and advances collaboration between the two agencies.

“This partnership marks a major step in making SSS services more accessible and convenient for our members. By integrating the digital MySSS Card and key services into the eGovPH superapp, we are bringing social security closer to every Filipino — right at their fingertips,” Limlingan said.

Once integrated, members will be able to access the front-facing digital representation of their MySSS Card as one of the identification cards (IDs) available through the eGovPH superapp, Limlingan said.

“They will also be able to view their contribution history, total number of contributions, latest membership type, and most recent employer information,” the SSS chief executive said.

The state pension fund said these services will help members check whether contributions have been posted and verify their membership and employer information through a shared government platform.

Limlingan stressed that the integration reflects the SSS’ commitment to digital transformation and member convenience.

“Our members should not have to visit multiple offices or use multiple applications just to access basic services. Through the eGovPH superapp, we are making it easier for Filipinos to check their contributions, verify their membership status, and access their MySSS Card — all in one place,” he said.

He explained that the move was part of the government’s broader digital transformation agenda, which sought to connect agencies’ services through a shared digital platform that unifies government services in one application.

Both de Claro and Limlingan agreed that the partnership also aimed to expand social-protection access for digital workers, including freelancers and online professionals, by making SSS services easier to find and use online.

While members can already access their membership and contribution records through the MySSS mobile app, the integration will provide another convenient way to view these records, along with the MySSS Card ID feature and other government services, the SSS said.

The agreement signals that the SSS will be among the government agencies feeding services into the eGovPH superapp, supporting the administration’s goal of integrating all government services into the platform, Limlingan said.

“We are proud to be part of this national effort to unify government services. The SSS remains committed to leveraging technology to deliver faster, more secure, and more member-centered service,” he said.
