Research conclusion

The clearest finding is a gap between having enough months and having high enough Monthly Salary Credits to reach the maximum estimate.

48% had 6+ contributed months, yet 65% of that group remained below the applicable maximum. Only 35% of the 6+ month group reached the maximum. Across the full cohort, 17% reached the case-specific maximum. This supports a practical conclusion: contribution count alone does not determine maximum-benefit readiness; the values of the six highest applicable Monthly Salary Credits still matter.

This is descriptive calculator-user research, not a national estimate and not a finding about official SSS payouts. For the full tables and limitations, use the main maternity research page and methodology.

Research-question ideas

Questions these published findings can help explore

  • What estimated SSS maternity-benefit amounts are most common among calculator users?
  • What proportion of first-session observations have 0–2, 3–5, or 6+ contributed qualifying months?
  • Does having six or more contributed months mean reaching the maximum estimated maternity benefit?
  • How early before a future maternity event do users begin checking their estimated benefit?

Protected research asset

Public findings, private dataset

We publish selected aggregate findings for research and citation. We do not release raw calculation rows, raw qualifying-month rows, anonymous session hashes, individual timestamps, dedupe identifiers, or unrestricted query access to the private research database.

Current access policy: custom data extracts and custom aggregate tables are not currently provided. Researchers may use the statistics already published on the research pages.
