How We Verify SSS Maternity Information
SSS Maternity Benefits Calculator is an independent information and planning website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Social Security System (SSS).
Primary sources first
Important rules, contribution references, filing procedures and benefit computations are checked against official SSS materials, applicable Philippine laws, official government publications and other primary sources whenever available.
Calculator verification
When a rule affects a calculator, the calculator logic and the supporting explanation are reviewed together. Important changes should be recorded in the site’s public update log so readers can see what changed and when.
Human editorial responsibility
Site content is reviewed under the direction of Nicky Wong, Editor. Automated or AI-assisted tools may be used to help with research, drafting, testing or development, but important SSS rules and numerical claims are checked before publication.
Corrections
If a material error is found, the affected content should be corrected and a short public note should be added to the update log when the change could affect a user’s understanding, calculation or filing decision.
Commercial relationships
The website may display advertising or partner offers. Commercial relationships do not determine SSS rules, calculator formulas or editorial conclusions. Partner offers should be clearly separated from SSS eligibility and benefit guidance.
Final authority
Only SSS can confirm a member’s official contribution record, eligibility, claim status and final benefit amount.
