Staying updated with your pension payments has never been easier. In 2025, both the Social Security System (SSS) and the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) offer convenient online and mobile options for checking your pension status. Whether you’re a retiree, survivor, or disability pensioner, knowing how to monitor your account status ensures that you receive your payments on time and that your information is accurate. This guide walks you through the easiest ways to check your SSS or GSIS pension—online portals, SMS, and hotlines.
How to Check Your SSS Pension Status Online
SSS members can track their pension status through the My.SSS Portal, which is accessible 24/7. Simply visit the official SSS website and log in using your user ID and password. If you haven’t registered yet, you’ll need your SSS number, a valid email address, and at least one SSS-contributed payment for verification. Once logged in, go to the “Inquiry” section, then select “Pension” to view payment history, release dates, and account updates.

These services provide updates on payment schedules, eligibility, and account verification. Make sure to use your registered mobile number to avoid delays.
