How to Change to Self-Employed Membership Type in SSS, Philhealth, and PAG-IBIG
Social Security System (SSS)
If you resigned from your job and decided to continue paying the premiums, you must update your membership status to Self-Employed by filing a Member Data Change Request at an SSS branch near you.
**I found the webinar from a previous YouTube upload by SSS. I have filled out the MDCR and will submit it to an SSS branch so that my membership status can be changed from Voluntary to Self-Employed.
Download the Member Data Change Request Form from SSS.
However, the change request to Self-Employed status is subject to approval. I was advised to follow up after thirty (30) days for the update.
PAG-IBIG or HDMF
To change your membership type in PAG-IBIG, you have to fill out a Member’s Change of Information Form (MCIF) and file a request at a PAG-IBIG branch near you.
Fill out and sign the form, and prepare one government ID (other government ID is accepted, except TIN and PhilHealth IDs). Present both to the PAG-IBIG Branch.
You may check if the membership type change has taken effect. If you have a Virtual PAG-IBIG account, log in and see if the category type it has been updated.***
***I suggest doing this because I think there is a lapse in PAG-IBIG’s system. I filed mine around 2-3 weeks before I noticed that my record in Virtual PAG-IBIG had not been updated, and the premiums I paid as a freelancer were counted under my previous employer’s share of contribution. I reported it to PAG-IBIG, and they fixed it.
