The Social Security System (SSS) has announced its aggressive pursuit of delinquent employers nationwide, signaling its unwavering commitment to addressing the issue of unremitted contributions.

In a statement, Rolando Ledesma Macasaet, SSS president and chief executive officer assured the pension fund’s members of their dedication to pursuing these employers and vowing to further intensify their efforts.


Macasaet also emphasized the obligation of employers to faithfully remit the social security contributions of their employees, urging them to comply with their responsibilities without fail. He said that each employer is assigned an SSS Account Officer (AO) responsible for ensuring compliance with the Social Security Act of 2018.



Regular Statements of Account (SOAs) are prepared and payroll audits are conducted to address discrepancies. Employers receive billing letters to settle outstanding payments within the payment deadline.

SSS intensified its Run After Contribution Evaders (RACE) campaigns, which aim to compel delinquent employers to comply with the law by issuing a Notice of Violation and instructing them to report to SSS within 15 days or face legal consequences.


“Even though we are aggressively pursuing delinquent employers, we still offer them some relief through our contribution penalty condonation programs for their consideration so that penalties may be waived if they are deemed eligible,” Macasaet said.

“SSS is also continuously reconciling and updating its records since we discover that several employers sometimes neglect to update the list of their employees in the SSS records resulting in overstated SOAs being issued by SSS,” he added.


SSS issued hundreds of thousands of SOAs and billing letters, which have to be later classified depending on actions taken by SSS and/or the concerned employer.
