Data matching is the step where SSS compares claim information with its official databases to confirm accuracy and identity truthfulness. This includes matching names, dates of birth, contribution postings, employment records, and document details. Inconsistent data can prevent processing until corrections are made.
SSS uses automated and manual data-matching techniques to verify member identity and prevent fraudulent claims. Discrepancies—such as incorrect spellings or mismatched PSA certificates—trigger requests for supporting documents.
Members should ensure all government IDs, PSA records, and SSS accounts use consistent information to avoid delays during data matching.
Hospital delivery in the Philippines can easily cost ₱60,000 - ₱200,000 depending on the hospital and type of delivery.
