Common SSS maternity rejection or denied messages

We do not show every collected SSS email reason here because the list can get very long. Use the search box above to check the exact wording from your email. Below are the most common types.

Sample wording from SSS email:

Reason/s:
• PLEASE UPLOAD CLEAR AND COLORED COPY OF CHILD'S CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH.

This usually means the uploaded birth certificate was not clear enough, not colored, cropped, incomplete, or unreadable.

Sample wording from SSS email:

Reason/s:
• PLEASE RE-UPLOAD ALL PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED AND ADDITIONAL REQUIRED DOCUMENTS USING PDF CONTINUOUS SCANNING.

SSS wants all the documents for this request inside one PDF file. Do not upload a separate PDF for each document. For example, if SSS asks for a birth certificate, receipt, and ID, they should be pages inside the same PDF file.

Sample wording from SSS email:

Reason/s:
• YOU HAVE NO/INVALID DATE OF COVERAGE. PLEASE PROCEED TO THE NEAREST SSS BRANCH OFFICE FOR UPDATING/CORRECTION OF YOUR RECORD. REFILE THE CLAIM ONCE THE RECORD IS ALREADY UPDATED.

This is usually a member record issue. SSS may need to update or correct your record first before the maternity claim can be refiled.

Sample wording from SSS email:

Reason/s:
• DENIED DUE TO QUALIFYING CONTRIBUTIONS FOR MATERNITY ARE PAID WITHIN OR AFTER THE SEMESTER OF CONTINGENCY.

This means SSS denied the maternity claim because the qualifying contributions were paid within or after the semester of contingency, instead of being validly posted for the qualifying period before the contingency semester.

Before you refile or ask for help

Many rejected maternity claims can be corrected online. Select your member type above to show more specific guidance here.

Fix online first when possible

  • Read the exact Reason/s in the SSS email.
  • Prepare the corrected document SSS is asking for.
  • Use a clear, complete, colored copy if requested.
  • Use PDF continuous scanning if the email asks for it.

Ask the right person

  • Employee/Kasambahay: HR or employer may be needed for employer-related messages.
  • Voluntary, Self-Employed, OFW, NWS, Barangay, Farmer/Fisherfolk: usually check My.SSS or SSS directly.
  • Go to SSS if the email says branch verification, record correction, interview, or medical evaluation.

Optional

Need backup funds while waiting for your SSS claim?

If your maternity claim is delayed because of a rejection or correction, you may need temporary backup funds. Check only if a credit card option fits your situation and budget.
