The E4 Form or “Member Data Change Request” Form is a document that you have to submit should you wish to change or update your membership information with the Social Security System. You have to fill out an E4 Form and submit it together with the Original or Certified True Copy of your supporting documents to the SSS branch near you.
Using the E4 Form, you can add new Beneficiaries or remove dependents on your SSS records. You can also use the Form to process complex corrections about your name, gender, and date of birth, and change your Civil Status such as from single to married.
There are two ways to get a copy of the SSS E4 Form. You can either visit any SSS branch to get a copy or you can download a PDF copy online on the SSS website. Afterward, you have the option to print it by yourself on letter-size paper.
It would only take you 3 minutes to get a PDF copy of the form online. If you choose the latter then here is what you need to do.
3 Steps to Get a copy of the SSS E4 Form Online
Step 1: Visit the SSS.gov.ph Website and go to forms
The forms link is located at the bottom/footer part of the page. The link is represented by a dark blue “down arrow” icon and it is next to the “whistleblowing portal.” Go to that link to view the different documents that you can download online.
Step 2: Go to Members Data Change Request Link and Download the E4 Form
You can get the E4 form in the “Member’s Data Change Request” link. It is under the “Member Forms” column. 
Step 3: Save a copy and print the SSS E4 Form
In this part, you have the option to print it directly from the sss website or you can also save a pdf version on your computer.
To print, go to the “Printer” icon on the upper right-hand side of your browser. Print it in 8.5 x 13 inches long bond paper or 8.5 x 11 inches short bond paper. On the other hand, go to the “Folder with down arrow icon” to save a pdf copy.
Here is a sample of the E4 form that you can get online when you follow the steps that I included in this post.
