To do so, the member needs to create and sign an authorization letter and provide it to their representative. The representative can then present this document to the SSS employee, allowing them to carry out the transaction on behalf of the member.

“Here’s a useful tip for those who can’t make it to the SSS office to process their claims. Simply ask a trusted relative or friend to do it for you. To do this, prepare an authorization letter similar to the one shown above, and give it to them when they go to the government office. Remember to include a copy of your valid IDs and ask them to bring their own IDs as well.”
