Question

Member: Voluntary EDD: February 2027 General Question
Question from Lj
Oct 1, 2026

Edd ko po any February 2027, qualified po ba ako sa maternity benefit. At magkano po makukuha ko?

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Oct 1, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 For EDD February 2027, ang qualifying period mo ay October 2025–September 2026.
Para maka-qualify sa SSS maternity benefit, kailangan may at least 3 valid monthly contributions within that period. SSS will then use the 6 highest MSCs within the qualifying period to compute how much you can receive. Social Security System
So possible kang qualified, pero hindi pa natin masasabi ang exact amount without your contribution months and amounts.

Question

Member: Self-Employed EDD: April 2027 General Question
Question from Cess
Sep 30, 2026

EDD ko is April 2027 paano kung mapa aga ang panganganak ng last week of march?

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Oct 1, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 If EDD mo is April 2027 pero actual delivery mo ay last week of March 2027, magbabago ang qualifying period mo.
– If April 2027 delivery: January–December 2026
– If March 2027 delivery: October 2025–September 2026
So kung March ka manganak, October–December 2026 contributions will no longer be included. Ang pagbabasehan ay contributions mo hanggang September 2026. Kailangan may at least 3 valid contributions within October 2025–September 2026. Social Security System
If may contributions kang intended for the March 2027 scenario, make sure they are paid on or before end of September 2026.

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Sep 30, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 Kung minimum contribution ang hulog mo, currently ₱750/month, equivalent iyon sa ₱5,000 MSC. Social Security System
Kung may 6 qualifying months ka at lahat minimum MSC:
₱5,000 × 6 ÷ 180 × 105 = around ₱17,500 MatBen for live childbirth. Social Security System
Kung 3 qualifying months lang, estimate is around ₱8,750.
