If you're paying for the last quarter (October November December), your deadline is January 25.

Note: Many collectors or payment centers, like Bayad Centers, do not have time calculating payment deadlines for different people with different SSS nos., so they accept only payments for the current month or current quarter. 

Payment Deadlines for OFWs

OFWs are special. They can pay for any month or any quarter of the year at any time of the current year.  SSS has considered their situation -- that they are in places where payment centers are not very accessible.

For example, it's already the month of August -- they can still pay for the previous months of January to July.  Or it's already Christmas -- they can still pay for the previous months of January to November.
During the month of January, OFWs can also still pay for the last quarter (November, October, December) of the previous year.

If you're an OFW on vacation and you're paying for past quarters, bring proof that you are OFW. If your family is paying for you, and they're paying for past quarters, they should bring proof that you are OFW.
