3. SSS ID or UMID

Getting this ID is easy as it now involves an online process! The Social Security System (SSS) is provided by the government for retirement benefits, maternity benefits, and more. SSS benefits also include short-term loans. You can now apply as an SSS member online and get your SSS number almost immediately (Note: this is different from the ID).

UMID stands for Unified Multi-Purpose ID, the single identification card for all members of the Social Security System (SSS), Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF or Pag-IBIG Fund), and Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth).

SSS members with at least one (1) posted contribution can subsequently apply for UMID. All you need to do is schedule an appointment online via My.SSS for the biometric data capture and then present your printed SS number application and transaction number slip on the day of your appointment.
