The Social Security System (SSS) has officially rolled out a Loan Restructuring and Condonation Program for 2025, offering long-overdue relief for members with unpaid loans. Under this new program, qualified borrowers can enjoy 100% penalty waivers and access flexible repayment plans. The initiative is designed to help members settle obligations without additional burden and regain good standing in the SSS loan system.
Who Is Eligible for the 2025 Loan Restructuring?
The program targets SSS members with past-due salary, calamity, or emergency loans as of March 2025. To qualify, members must be currently unemployed, self-employed, or voluntarily paying contributors. Those with past-due loans who were affected by the pandemic or previous natural disasters are automatically prioritized. However, members with ongoing legal cases or fraud issues are excluded from this program.
| Eligibility Criteria | Details |
|---|---|
| Loan Status | Past due as of March 2025 |
| Membership Type | Self-employed, voluntary, or separated from employer |
| Loan Type | Salary, Calamity, Emergency, Restructured Loans |
| Penalty Coverage | 100% condonation of penalties upon approval |
| Ineligibility | Members with fraud/legal cases or active employment with deductions |
What Are the Restructuring Options Available?
Qualified members can choose from flexible repayment terms ranging from 6 to 60 months, depending on the outstanding loan amount. Those who opt for full payment upfront will immediately receive a complete penalty waiver and faster credit restoration. SSS will also allow a grace period of 30 days for the first payment, giving members time to organize their finances. Interest rates remain low at 6% per annum for restructured loans.
How to Apply for the Restructuring Program
Applications can be submitted starting July 1, 2025, through the My.SSS online portal or at any SSS branch. Members must complete the Loan Restructuring Agreement (LRA) form, upload a valid ID, and agree to the payment schedule. Those without online access can visit the nearest SSS branch and complete the process in person. After submission, confirmation of approval and payment schedule will be sent via email or SMS.
What Borrowers Should Do Before Applying
Before applying, verify your outstanding loan balance and account status via My.SSS. Update your contact details and make sure you have no pending benefit claims that could affect loan eligibility. Prepare documents such as valid ID, proof of past employment (if separated), and any proof of previous loan payments. Also, review your capacity to commit to a payment plan to avoid future delinquency.
The SSS Loan Restructuring Program 2025 offers members an excellent opportunity to start fresh. With 100% penalty condonation and flexible terms, even long-overdue borrowers can settle debts affordably. Don’t miss this chance to restore your SSS record and regain access to future loan privileges—apply before the program ends.
