How do I deregister an employee from SSB in Myanmar?
To deregister a Myanmar employee from the Social Security Board (SSB), file the deregistration form at the township SSB office within 30 days of the last working day. Submit the IP card, last contribution receipt, and final settlement evidence. Failure to deregister keeps the contribution liability running and risks a fine under the Social Security Law 2012.
What Myanmar requires: deregistering an employee from SSB
The deadline is within 30 days of the last working day, filed at the township SSB office. Failure to deregister keeps the employer's contribution liability running for the IP, even after they have left.
Filing | Deadline | Form | Authority
| Filing | Deadline | Form | Authority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deregistration on exit | Within 30 days of last working day | Deregistration form | Township SSB office |
| Last monthly contribution | 15th of month following last working month | Monthly contribution form | Township SSB office |
| Final settlement disclosure | With deregistration | Settlement statement copy | Township SSB office |
Process — how to deregister
- Confirm the last working day on the final settlement statement.
- Pay the last monthly contribution (covering the leave month) by the 15th of the following month.
- Complete the SSB deregistration form citing the IP number, last working day, and reason (resignation, termination, retirement).
- Attach the IP card (if returned by employee), last contribution receipt, and final settlement evidence.
- Submit at the township SSB office where the employer is registered.
- Retain the SSB-stamped acknowledgement in the personnel file (7 years post-exit).
Records and retention
| Record type | Retention duration | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Deregistration form + acknowledgement | 7 years post-exit | Social Security Law 2012 |
| Last contribution receipt | 7 years | SSB audit basis |
| Final settlement statement | 7 years post-exit | ESDL 2013 / Payment of Wages Law |
| Personnel file (overall) | 7 years post-exit | ESDL 2013 |
Employer takeaway
Deregister a leaver from SSB within 30 days of the last working day. Pay the last monthly contribution by the 15th of the following month, file the deregistration form at the township SSB office, and retain the acknowledgement 7 years post-exit. Failure to deregister leaves the employer paying contributions for a non-employee and risks a fine under the Social Security Law 2012.
Penalties for non-compliance
- Late deregistration — continued contribution liability + administrative fine under Social Security Law 2012.
- Phantom contributions — recovery on audit when SSB reconciles IP register vs employer roster.
- Failure to issue IP card return / acknowledgement — minor administrative penalty.
Common deregistration mistakes
- Forgetting deregistration entirely — phantom contributions accrue.
- Filing past the 30-day window — late filing fine.
- Missing the last contribution payment for the leave month.
- See SSB monthly deadline and SSB forms.
