Hi mommy 😊 For EDD May 2027, ang qualifying period mo ay January–December 2026, so July–September 2026 ✅ pasok lahat sa MatBen computation.
Kung Voluntary/NWS member ka, hindi pa late ang July–September quarter at puwede pa itong bayaran on or before end of October 2026, provided accepted at properly posted sa My.SSS. Social Security System
Kung Self-Employed ka, iba ang current payment deadline, so sabihin mo lang mommy para ma-check natin specifically kung alin sa July–September ang puwede pa. Social Security System

Hi mommy 😊 Possible po na ₱43k+ lang ang approved kung hindi umabot sa maximum ang 6 highest MSCs na ginamit ng SSS, may qualifying months na mababa ang MSC, or may contributions na hindi naisama dahil sa payment timing. SSS computes MatBen using the 6 highest MSCs within your qualifying period, capped at ₱20,000 MSC per month for regular benefits. Social Security System
Pwede mo pong ipa-review kung feeling mo mali ang computation. Ask SSS specifically:
“Ano po ang 6 MSC months na ginamit ninyo sa ₱43,000+ maternity benefit computation ko?”
Kung may qualifying contribution na dapat naisama pero hindi naisama, puwedeng magkaroon ng adjustment/reconsideration depending on the case. Social Security System

Send mo lang mommy ang EDD/actual delivery date + contribution months and amounts, then pwede nating i-check kung bakit naging ₱43k at kung may basis para ipa-review sa SSS.

Hi mommy 😊 For EDD October 2026, ang qualifying period mo ay July 2025–June 2026.
Since 2023 pa ang last contribution mo, unfortunately hindi na counted ang 2023 contributions for this pregnancy. Kailangan may at least 3 valid monthly contributions within July 2025–June 2026 para maka-qualify sa SSS maternity benefit. Social Security System
So kung wala kang hulog within that qualifying period, hindi ka qualified for this October 2026 MatBen.

Hi mommy 😊 Depende po sa member type mo.
Kung Voluntary / NWS, puwedeng monthly or quarterly ang hulog, pero hindi puwedeng basta i-delay nang lampas sa allowed deadline. For example, July–September 2026 can be paid as one quarter on or before end of October 2026. (sss.gov.ph)
So itong plan na:
– July–August → bayaran sa October ✅ possible, if within deadline
– September–October → bayaran sa November ⚠️ depends, because magkaibang quarter na sila
– November–December → bayaran sa December ✅ possible as advance/current payment
Pero if this is for maternity benefit, mas important ang EDD dahil baka may months na hindi na kasama sa qualifying period kahit bayaran mo pa.
