The Miscarriage Maternity Benefit is granted to members who experience pregnancy loss or emergency pregnancy termination. SSS provides 60 days of maternity benefit for miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, or medically induced pregnancy termination, as long as the member meets contribution and notification requirements.
Although the emotional and physical impact of miscarriage can be significant, this benefit ensures that members receive financial support during recovery. A medical certificate or hospital record confirming the pregnancy loss is required for claim approval.
The amount received is computed using the same ADSC formula used for childbirth-related maternity benefits, ensuring that the member receives fair compensation during the recovery period.
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.
