MANILA— The Social Security System (SSS) recently introduced the MySSS card, which will replace the old Unified Multi-Purpose Identification (UMID) card. The new MySSS card, which is equipped with an EMV chip, functions as a debit card that is linked to a savings account.Designed as a valid ID, the MySSS card is registered with the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) eVerify and biometric authentication.SSS members, pensioners, claimants, beneficiaries, and payees may follow these steps to acquire the MySSS card:1. Check that you have an active account on the official My.SSS Portal website. 2. Input the necessary personal information such as address, mobile number, email and the like. 3. Ensure that the account is registered with the National ID system. 4. Once your account is verified, users need to open a bank account by going to the nearest Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) bank for now, as it will be the first one to roll out the EMV-powered card.Asia United Bank (AUB), China Bank, and Union Bank of the Philippines are next in line to issue the MySSS card. Members may also opt to download the RCBC application by Diskartech on their mobile devices.After completing the request, those living in Metro Manila can expect their physical cards within 15 working days, while non-NCR residents will have to wait within 20 working days.Those who have the old SSS, UMID, or previous ID cards may apply for the MySSS Card to replace lost or existing ones.SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Joseph Montes De Claro said the revamped card will become the main disbursement account for SSS members.&quot;Once members apply for the MySSS Card, we will link their partner bank savings accounts to SSS for benefits, loans, and other proceeds. They no longer need to enroll the MySSS Card in the Disbursement Account Enrollment Module (DAEM),&quot; De Claro said.&quot;The SSS and RCBC partnership marks a significant milestone in the digital transformation of government services,&quot; he said.Aside from easier access to social security benefits, MySSS holders can also use the card for shopping, public transport fees, and online purchases, De Claro said.
