Hi Mercy, kung malapit ka sa branches and remittance partners ng PNB, puede ka doon magbayad ng SSS contributions mo. Puede rin sa mga branches ng Lucky Money or thru online using your bank account to make your payment: https://www.luckymoney.com/Home/ContactUs. Ask them their process of paying SSS contributions.
