Social Security System
Cor, Escario, Lahug, Cebu City
For big companies, they can request such thing for them (SSS) to personally go to your office and have everything process just in one day without wasting your time lining up as early as 5AM and finish everything in the late afternoon.. However, if you would just go by yourself and process your SSS ID, here are the things you need to remember...
1. Wakeup early as possible - People from different part of cebu line-up everyday just to get and process their SSS ID. Even as early 5:00AM, you'll see few of them waiting.
2. SSS will giveout 100 priority numbers and ONLY 100 persons will be accomodated for that day. (I'm not sure right now, how many priority numbers they're giving out everyday).
3. Bring a Photocopy of you Birth Certificate and 2 valid ID's. I would suggest, if you can bring the original copy of your Birth Certificate much better, coz sometimes (out of the blue) they gonna ask for it (I Dont know why).
4. Make sure that you bring candies. YOu know, just to ease boredom while waiting..
5. Make sure to keep-safe your wallet and other valuable things inside your bag. You'll be meeting different people with different attitudes (its a public place), just a precaution.
6. BE and GET ready - Make sure that you dont have any other "LAKAW" on that day.. coz.. it'll really take sometime to complete the process.. It's a government agency... people there arent aware that you also have other things to do. As in, they DONT REALLY CARE... ( SOME government agency personnel = They work like a turtle ).
8. After completing the process, keep safe the CLAIM SLIP/STUB. You can use that stub in claiming your sss benefits with the abscense of your SSS ID.
9. BEFORE, the SSS ID will be sent to your address or to the company after 3 months, but now, I guess, it'll take a year or two.
7. So, Goodluck!
