SSS E1 Form – How to Fill Out and Submit Your Personal Record

SSS E1 Form: Complete Guide to the Personal Record Form

The SSS E1 Form is a mandatory document for first-time registrants of the Philippine Social Security System. Whether you’re applying online or in person, the E1 form records your personal information, beneficiaries, and employment status.

What Is the E1 Form?

The Personal Record (E1) Form is used by new members to officially register with SSS. It captures vital data such as your full name, birthdate, contact information, dependents, and employment category. This form becomes part of your permanent SSS record.

Who Needs to Fill Out the E1 Form?

  • First-time applicants without an existing SS number
  • Self-employed individuals
  • Voluntary members and OFWs
  • Household employees (e.g., kasambahays)
  • Employers registering on behalf of new hires
