When can you renew your Salary Loan?
With regards to the possibility of renewing your loan, you may renew your SSS member loan after reaching at least half or 50% of the term. Also, a 50% payment of the original amount is required in the renewal.
So for example, you have a Salary Loan of Php20,000 that is payable within 24 months (2 years). You can renew your loan once you have paid a total of Php10,000 and after the 12th month from your previous loan’s approval.
Based on the post on SSS , in renewing an SSS member loan, the balance on the previous loan is deducted and the proceeds should be any amount higher than zero.
