Maternity Coverage defines the full scope of support provided by SSS during pregnancy, childbirth, miscarriage, or emergency termination. It includes compensable days, benefit rates, and claim processes designed to protect working women and voluntary members.
Coverage applies regardless of civil status and even if the member is unemployed at the time of childbirth, as long as contribution requirements are met. This broad coverage ensures continuous financial protection for women across different life stages.
Understanding maternity coverage empowers members to maximize their benefits and avoid mistakes in filing requirements.
Hospital delivery in the Philippines can easily cost ₱60,000 - ₱200,000 depending on the hospital and type of delivery.
Many parents use a credit card to manage these expenses while waiting for their SSS maternity benefits.
