You generally need at least 3 valid monthly contributions inside the qualifying period.
Confirm every month in My.SSS before relying on it. A later PRN date does not extend the maternity-counting cutoff. Employer-handled missing months should be verified with the responsible employer or agency and SSS.

After finding the correct period, confirm which contributions are actually posted in My.SSS.
How the deadline checker works
The checker first finds the 12-month qualifying period before the semester of contingency. It then uses the earlier of the normal payment or remittance deadline and the final day of the qualifying period.
Enter EDD and member type
This identifies the qualifying period and the correct deadline rule.
Review all 12 months
Status colors are used only to show whether action may still be possible or requires verification.
What does “still payable” mean?
For self-paying members, both the normal SSS deadline and the maternity-counting cutoff must still be open. The final qualifying-period month must be paid on or before the end of that month, even when the PRN shows a later expiration.
Employees should not automatically pay an employed month as Voluntary. Employee, kasambahay, sea-based OFW, and remitting-agency months should be checked with the responsible employer or agency.
The date displayed by the checker is the last date used for that contribution to count toward the selected maternity claim.
