SSS Authorization Letter Format and Sample

SSS Members who will not be able to personally make transactions will the Social Security System can assign an authorized representative to transact on their behalf. The representative has to bring an authorization letter signed by the SSS member they represent, and a photocopy of both their valid IDs.

Due to the complexity of the schedule of some Filipino working professionals there will come a chance that they will not be able to process their request for their benefits claims with SSS. The reason is their rest day and the appointment date they got from the government agency did not match.

If this is their concern, they can assign a relative such as their parent or sibling as an authorized representative to process their request with SSS. Members have to make and sign an authorization letter and give it to their representative. The latter will then show the document to the SSS employee to permit him/her to make the transaction on behalf of the member.

Here is a sample format of the SSS authorization letter that you can use as a reference should you need to make one for your authorized representative. You can either type it using Microsoft word on your PC or handwrite it. What’s important is it has your name, signature, SS number, the name of your representative, and the purpose of the authorization letter.
