Yes mommy, kung hindi ka na employed, pwede ka mag-switch/pay as Voluntary 😊

Usually sa My.SSS, punta ka sa Payment Reference Number (PRN), piliin Voluntary, then gumawa ng PRN at bayaran. Once posted, magre-reflect na as voluntary payment.

es mommy, pwede pa po 😊

Kung EDD mo ay January 2027, ang qualifying period mo is October 2025 to September 2026, so counted ang April–June 2026.

Kung Voluntary/SE ka, gumawa agad ng PRN sa My.SSS for April–June and bayaran habang tinatanggap pa ng system (Due on or before end of the following month or recommend to pay on or before end of june just incase manganak ka ng mas maaga like December, para pasok parin xa sa qualifying period ng December). SSS says self-employed members may pay monthly or quarterly through PRN.

Hi mommy 😊 For EDD November 2026, ang qualifying period mo is July 2025 to June 2026.

Kung hahabulin mo ang April, May, June 2026, make sure paid on time at posted sa SSS.(Due on or before end of June) Then mag-file ka ng Maternity Notification / MAT-1 before manganak. SSS says voluntary members should notify SSS directly of pregnancy and EDD.

Yung Maternity Benefit Application / MAT-2, after ka na manganak mag-file, with birth documents and approved disbursement account.

Yes mommy, possible pa makahabol 😊

For EDD December 2026, ang qualifying period mo is July 2025 to June 2026. Since last hulog mo was March 2023, hindi na iyon counted.

Kung Voluntary/SE ka na ngayon, pwede mong subukan hulugan ang April–June 2026 as quarterly, basta makagawa ka ng PRN, mabayaran on time, at ma-post sa SSS.(Due on or before end of this month: June 2026 ) SSS allows SE members to pay monthly or quarterly using PRN.

Kapag na-post ang April, May, June 2026, may 3 contributions ka na within QP, kaya possible ka nang ma-qualify. SSS requires at least 3 contributions within the 12 months before the semester of delivery.

For EDD November 2026, mommy, ang qualifying period mo is July 2025 to June 2026 😊

So January–March 2026 counted sana, pero kung ngayon pa lang babayaran as voluntary, likely late na po at baka hindi na tanggapin ng SSS.

Mas possible pang habulin ang April–June 2026, basta makagawa ka ng PRN, paid on time, at posted sa SSS.(Due: on or before end of June, 2026)

Hi mommy 😊 For EDD July 8, 2026, ang qualifying period mo is April 2025 to March 2026.

Para maka-₱70k, kailangan ang 6 highest MSC/contributions mo sa QP ay nasa maximum level. If ang estimate mo is ₱50k, possible hindi max ang hulog/salary credit mo sa 6 highest months.

Since employed ka, hindi mo na siya basta mahahabol or madadagdagan ngayon; based yan sa na-remit ng employer during QP. Check mo sa My.SSS kung posted ang contributions mo.

Also, make sure filed ang MAT-1 before delivery.

Mommy, para malaman magkano ihuhulog, check muna ang remaining months sa qualifying period mo 😊

Kung gusto mo ng maximum maternity benefit, usually kailangan mo ng 6 months na mataas/max MSC sa qualifying period. For 2026, ang common max SSS maternity basis is ₱20,000 MSC, around ₱3,000/month contribution for voluntary/SE.

Due date: SSS says voluntary/SE may pay monthly or quarterly via PRN, usually until the last day of the following month or quarter.
