The SSS sickness benefit is a daily cash allowance provided by the Social Security System (SSS) to covered members who are unable to work due to sickness or injury. To be eligible for this benefit, a member must have paid at least three months of contributions within the 12-month period immediately preceding the sickness or injury. Additionally, the member must be confined for at least four days and unable to perform work due to the medical condition.

The benefit amount is based on the member's average daily salary credit and is typically provided for a maximum of 120 days. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The SSS</span> sickness benefit helps to alleviate the financial burden of members during times of illness by offering temporary financial assistance.
