Pre-Employment Concerns (SSS, TIN, etc.)

[bluethehero]

Let this thread serve as an avenue to discuss various pre-employment requirements (SSS, TIN, Pag-ibig, Philhealth).

As we know, employers require new employees (especially fresh grads or those who will work for the first time) with an SSS number (with ID if possible), TIN # (ID), Pag-ibig # (ID), and Philhealth # (ID).

Let me start with the questions.

1) How do I get an SSS ID? I already got an SSS # and E1 form from a local branch of SSS, but I have no idea as to how I can secure an ID. Can I get it from the same branch where I applied?

2) How do I get a TIN # (ID)? Will I get the ID (or just the number?) immediately after submitting my application for registration?

3) Same question for number 2 about Pag-ibig # (ID)?

4) Can anybody cite the "benefits" of securing these and allowing these to deduct my salary?

AFAIK, you can secure an ID after you have made a pre-determined number of contributions (via deductions which are remitted by the company).

You may check online here (https://sss-online.sss.gov.ph/sss/controller) to see if you are qualified already.


2) How do I get a TIN # (ID)? Will I get the ID (or just the number?) immediately after submitting my application for registration?

3) Same question for number 2 about Pag-ibig # (ID)?


First time employee? Your new employer should get these (TIN # / HDMF #) for you. Just fill up the necessary forms and submit them along with other documents/pictures.



4) Can anybody cite the "benefits" of securing these and allowing these to deduct my salary?

It's not a matter of "allowing" these to be deducted. These are mandatory.

Benefits of securing these IDs include the fact that these are recognized valid IDs which are accepted in establishments as proof of identification (such as banks, credit card companies, etc).

Benefits of "paying" include:

BIR: you'll be a good citizen. If the BIR does random checking and you don't have the corresponding proof (BIR Form 1700 and 2316) you may be liable for tax evasion.

SSS: Sickness, Maternity benefits (monetary in nature). Salary and calamity loans of up to more than 20k payable in a few years. Of course, loan benefits can be availed only afer 36 (?) monthly contributions.

Philhealth: Hospitalization discounts, among others.

^apparently, my "potential" employer will not (or is not in their policy) accomplish my TIN # and PHIC (I already got my Philhealth number yesterday). What i did was I gave to the employer my application form for TIN and Pag-ibig since there are portions in the form where the employer has to sign and fill-up information. Was it the correct thing to do?

[bluethehero]

double post. sorry.

[danica]

I have a TIN # already. How do I get an ID?

[council]

pls help anyone

what do you need help with?

[therealdeal]

what do you need help with?

the step by step process of getting the tin id sss id and philhealth id :confused:

[skire20]

@therealdeal

yung pagkuha nung tin id, punta ka lang sa BIR office, ask ka sa guard o sa information, tutulungan ka naman nila kung pano kumuha ng ID.

same lang din sa pagkuha ng SSS id. ask ka lang sa information section ng sss office, aassist ka naman nila kung ano yung dapat mong gawin, kung san ka dapt pumunta para makakuha ka ng ID.

yung sa philhealth di ko sure eh. wala pa rin kasi ako.

[milk.ontheside]

sabi nila, for the TIN ID, you have to know where your RDO (regional district office) is located, tas dun mo kukunin un TIN ID. most likely, kung san un first job mo, dun ang RDO mo (ie. Makati, Ortigas, etc). eto lang sabi sakin, i need to do it din e. hehehe. but u can check sa BIR form mo sa HR, baka nakalagay yata dun un RDO where u can request for the TIN ID.

sa SSS ID, dpat u have SSS number muna. must have submitted docs like birth certificate (NSO). then proceed to SSS office for the ID picture. may e-6 form for to fill out for the requirements. for initial ID, no fee. but for renewal, P150.00. :)

[RöttenMind]

I have same concerns..

I checked the websites but they are no help to me.

How much is the TIN and PHILHealth Cards?

and how long is the processing for these cards? :)

[coldrockster]

Hello,

Are SSS, Pag-ibig and Philhealth mandated by the government if you are an employee? What if I currently work for a company as a contractor and the company does not submit contributions for contractors, do I need to voluntary submit my contributions?

[DisconnectedMX]

up for this thread, information here are useful.

[mbacarra]

i have a question, pwede bang may proxy kapag kukuha ng SSS? ang sabi sa akin, kelangan ko lang daw yung E-1 form. ang problem kasi akala ko pwede ngayon, naalala ko lang na holiday pala. hindi naman pwede sa weekend. hindi kasi pwede na next week dahil start na ng training ko, di ako pwede magabsent (strict orders) para lang dito. down kasi ang website ng SSS kaya di ko alam.

yung sa NBI, nakita ko sa website nila na ok lang ang proxy kaya ipapautos ko na lang sa kapatid ko (buti at sem break na nila ^_^ ).

[skire20]

@mbacarra,

ang alam ko yung sa nbi pwede proxy kung magrerenew ka lang pero kung kukuha ka nga ID from SSS for the first time, di yata pwede kasi kukunan ka ng picture dun eh. not really sure..

[mbacarra]

@skire20, yeah i thought so. ack! pwede bang to follow na lang yung SSS? hehehe. kasi di pa ako pwede daw magabsent eh. kung open lang sana sila during weekends. kung bakit kasi di pa ako nagpagawa dati pa XD

[coldrockster]

Take note that for first timers na kukuhan ng SSS id, SSS branches take a first come first serve basis process. They will only accomodate the first 100 customers for the day. If you go in the afternoon (just like me), you just have to go back another day.
Hassle, pero I guess we just have to follow their rules...

[jim_alucard]

question:

what are the requirements or documents needed for the application for the TIN ID?

please i need an answer asap...

thanks a lot for your time and effort reading this...

[council]

BIR Form 1905, filed with the RDO covering your place of work or residence.

[mbacarra]

bukas ba ng weekend ang NBI as SSS? i know it's like "duh"... i'm just saying...

[council]

The answer is 'No.' :)

[mbacarra]

nga pala, ano yung E-1 form sa SSS? can I get that sa website ng SSS and just print it out?

[council]

Unfortunately, that's one form that isn't on the webste.

[mbacarra]

but what's that form for? that's the form my employer was asking me.

[council]

The SSS Form E-1 is given when you apply for your SSS Number for the first time.

The SSS Number is almost always a pre-employment requirement, thus you must apply for it personally.

While you're at it, you might as well apply for the SSS Card via form E-6 which is downloadable.

Yes.

What if I currently work for a company as a contractor and the company does not submit contributions for contractors, do I need to voluntary submit my contributions?

Since you are a contractor (ergo not an employee - but check your contract first for the employer-employee clause), they are not required to deduct and submit contributions for you.

You need to make contributions. However it is totally up to you if you actually will do so.

[coldrockster]

Yes.

So does this mean that it is not mandated by the government if you are just a "contractor?"

Hi, why is it that the eTIN in the BIR website is not functioning, it's not clickable...

What's the TAT if you're going to apply for TIN?

[council]

Hi, why is it that the eTIN in the BIR website is not functioning, it's not clickable...



Best to ask the BIR webmaster.

[paggi10]

Suspended daw ang eTIN for the meantime :) yan ang sabi ng BIR nung minsan na naginquire din ako about that.

[|wyatt|]

really? wahhh!

Would you know kung kelan to maactivate ulet?

[ndy]

tanong ko lang, nawala ko ang NBI clearance ko, possible ba pa pwede kumuha ng bago (just a new one) or should i need pa ang affidavit of loss sa notary public para ipakita na nawala nbi clearance ko??? thanks

[gen_07]

hi, aabutin ba ng whole day kumuha ng NBI Clearance if mga 830-9am kami dumating? :)

[dazzle_77]

How about the Philhealth ID how do I get one?

[car_racer]

when i applied for my E-1 Form, unfortunately, di daw valid yung birth certicificate ko. i was asked to follow up. thus i was given a temporary no. is this valid? has this happened to anyone? to add to the hassle pa, i was asked to go directly to the other branch kasi di na daw ako sakop ng main.

[treefingers]

di na kailangan. although mas mabilis di hamak kung meron kang luma kasi pwede ka sa mga kiosks nila sa mga malls like sa park square. sa main office ka talaga kukuha nyan.

[|wyatt|]

Can somebody tell me how long should I expect to get or receive my SSS Digitized ID?

Until now, I have not received it. I applied for it, guess what? January of this year? hahaha

Medyo tinatamad pa akong pumunta ng office nila e hihihih

What do you think happened? The post man got lost or something?

[neni0hk]

[darkchild2]

[daasnwer]

wtf! seryoso?!

tsk tsk tsk grabe naman!:rolleyes:

[lostyuppie]

^^according to SSS, they have our IDs made in France. Then, we were not able to meet the requirement/s (they did not specify what that was or were), and so the ID printing were halted for awhile.

And as of the moment, you can only have your picture taken for the digitized ID at SSS main, the one at East Ave., QC.

If you still have your E-6 stub, you can bring it with you to follow up.

[FireOnIce]

i got my sss card & my name is truncated..it seems my full name is longer than what their form can accomodate...ive never run into this problem with other gov't ids: license, passport, prc...has anyone run into this?

Does that mean, I need to re-process my ID application? I don't have my E-6 anymore.
