The Social Security System (SSS) has
announced that members
who applied for their Unified Multi-Purpose Identification (UMID) cards
between August 2017 to
December 2020 have only
until December 29, 2023
to pick up their unclaimed
cards.
After the deadline, the unclaimed cards,
including those that the
Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) returned to
SSS after two unsuccessful delivery attempts, will
be disposed of based on
SSS’ retention policy.
To check the
status of UMID card application, members are
advised to log in to their
My.SSS Portal account
at www.sss.gov.ph, and
click on “UMID/SSS ID
Details” under the “MEMBER INFO” tab. If the
transaction status is “Card
Generated”, members can
SSS…
claim the card at the SSS
branch where the UMID
application was filed.
SSS members
are likewise advised to
keep their contact information updated so they
will not miss important notifications from the SSS.
Since February
2023, SSS has stopped
accepting applications for
regular UMID cards, but
is currently offering UMID
ATM Pay Card exclusively
to SSS members who either have existing UMID
cards or pending UMID
card applications.
SSS has also
recently announced its
partnership with the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) to integrate the
Philippine Identification
System (PhilSys) into their
processes and services,
which include the issuance of a similar ATM-enabled SSS card for initial
applicants.PR
