Sickness Claim Filing is the formal submission of documents needed to process a sickness benefit. Employed members rely on employers to file, while voluntary, self-employed, and OFW members must file directly through SSS branches or online. Claims must include a medical certificate and supporting documents. Late filing may reduce compensable days or lead to claim denial.
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.
