UPLIFT Group 3: SSS Members With ₱10,000 MSC to Be Credited Starting October 30, 2026

First published October 20, 2026; updated October 26, 2026.

Update (Oct 26, 2026): Release dates and amounts announced

DSWD has now announced when SSS members under UPLIFT Group 3 will receive their aid. In its October 25 schedule announcement, DSWD said this covers SSS members who are in the PSA’s 2024 CBMS and who enrolled a disbursement account in the SSS Disbursement Account Enrollment Module (DAEM) within the dates set by SSS. DSWD spokesperson Asst. Secretary Irene Dumlao said the new payout covers September and October (Radyo Pilipinas).

• ₱10,000 MSC: DSWD will credit the first to fourth tranches, a full ₱8,000, to your disbursement account starting October 30, 2026. If you already received the first and second tranches, the third and fourth tranches (₱4,000) will be credited together.
• ₱20,000 MSC: The third and fourth tranches (₱4,000) will be credited together on November 6, 2026.
• Second tranche: DSWD said Group 3 members who got the first tranche but were still waiting for the second were credited on October 23 and 24, 2026.

No venue visit is needed, because Group 3 aid goes straight to your SSS-enrolled disbursement account. For the Group 2 schedule (₱4,000 digital payout on November 6 or manual payout from November 2 to 30) and the full program details, see our main guide: UPLIFT Program: A Guide to the ₱2,000 Cash Assistance in the Philippines.

Earlier update (Oct 20, 2026): Account update for 620,000 members

On October 18, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) said it had identified about 620,000 Social Security System (SSS) members with a ₱10,000 monthly salary credit (MSC) who may qualify for Group 3 of the UPLIFT Assistance. To qualify, they had to check the My.SSS app for a notification and update their disbursement account from October 20 to 22, 2026. Members could also get help at the nearest SSS branch.

Who is included in this batch?

According to DSWD, this batch covers 620,000 SSS members with a ₱10,000 MSC who are in the SSS database and are also listed in the 2024 Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).

In general, DSWD has described UPLIFT Group 3 as employed, low-income SSS members with an MSC below ₱20,000 who made at least one SSS contribution in 2025 or 2026 and have an active SSS disbursement account. (Officials have phrased the ceiling slightly differently in past statements, such as “₱20,000 and below,” so rely on your My.SSS notification to know whether you are included.)

How to update your disbursement account

1. Open the My.SSS app and check for a notification about the UPLIFT Assistance.
2. Update your disbursement account in My.SSS between October 20 and 22, 2026 (the window DSWD announced). Make sure the account is valid and active.
3. Need help? Coordinate with the SSS branch nearest you.

DSWD has previously stressed that invalid or dormant accounts in the SSS Disbursement Account Enrollment Module (DAEM) caused unsuccessful crediting for some Group 3 beneficiaries, so double-check your account details.

Deadline

The update window DSWD announced was only three days: October 20 to 22, 2026. If you missed it or are unsure whether your account was updated, ask at the nearest SSS branch.

How much is the UPLIFT Group 3 aid?

Under the program’s general terms, qualified Group 3 members receive ₱2,000 a month from July to December 2026, credited directly to their SSS-enrolled disbursement account. The assistance is given per household: if two or more qualified SSS members belong to the same household in CBMS records, only the oldest member receives it.

Update (Oct 26): DSWD has since announced the release dates. Members with a ₱10,000 MSC will be credited starting October 30, 2026 (₱8,000 for the first to fourth tranches, or ₱4,000 if the first and second were already received). Members with a ₱20,000 MSC will receive ₱4,000 on November 6, 2026 (DSWD).

Frequently asked questions

When will SSS members with a ₱10,000 MSC get their UPLIFT aid?

DSWD said it will start crediting on October 30, 2026: a full ₱8,000 (first to fourth tranches), or ₱4,000 (third and fourth tranches) if you already received the first two. Members with a ₱20,000 MSC get ₱4,000 on November 6, 2026 (DSWD, Oct 25).

Do I need to apply for UPLIFT Group 3?

No. DSWD has said beneficiaries are identified in advance from SSS and CBMS data, and UPLIFT does not accept applications. If you are in this batch, you should see a notification in the My.SSS app.

Do I need to go to a payout venue?

No. Group 3 aid goes directly to your SSS-enrolled disbursement account. You only need to visit an SSS branch if you need help updating your account.

I have no notification in My.SSS. Am I qualified?

SSS has said not all members are automatically included; beneficiaries are chosen through data cross-matching among SSS, DSWD and PSA. If you think you qualify, ask at the nearest SSS branch.

How do I avoid UPLIFT scams?

DSWD spokesperson Asst. Secretary Irene Dumlao has warned the public not to give personal information or bank details to suspicious Facebook or text messages promising UPLIFT inclusion. According to DSWD, all official communication goes through the My.SSS app.
