Hi mommy 😊 For EDD January 2027, ang qualifying period mo ay October 2025–September 2026.

Counted ang Jan–June 2026 na ₱1,200 at July–September 2026 na ₱3,000. Hindi na counted ang October–December 2026. Based sa 6 highest months, estimated MATBEN mo is around ₱49,000 for normal/CS, kung total contribution ang amounts at posted lahat.

Last QP month: September 2026—dapat paid on or before end of September 2026.

Voluntary Employer / Resigned / Separated EDD: January 2027
Question from Kim
Jul 7, 2026

EDD ko po is January 2027, pwede pa po ba hulugan ang april to june 2026. Last contribution ko po is May 2025 (employed) pa po ako nun. Ngayon po ay magchange to voluntary.

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Jul 8, 2026

Hi mommy,

For EDD January 2027, ang QP mo ay October 2025–September 2026, kung ngayon kapalang mag papa change ng member type to voluntary ang ma pay mo nalang po at i ka count ni SSS is yung July to Sept. if maka generate ka ng PRN under voluntary for 1 quarter (July to September) pay mo xa on or before Sept or as early as possible po.

Yung last hulog mong May 2025 hindi napo counted.
Basta hindi mabago ang EDD mo qualified parin kung mabayaran mo yung July to Sept. on or before due date, pero kung mabago EDD mo to December mababago rin ang Qualifying period mo magiging July 2025 to June 2026 nalang hindi na makacount yung July to Sept na babayran mo kasi outside qualifying period xa ng December EDD.

Question

Voluntary Contribution / Payment Deadline EDD: January 2027
Question from Rachel
Jul 7, 2026

Edd ko po is January 2027.10 years ng member..kung huhulugan ko po ng 3k per month simula April to September 2026..magkano po kaya make claim ko para sa mayernity??

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Jul 8, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 For EDD January 2027, ang qualifying period mo ay October 2025–September 2026.

Kung ₱3,000 total voluntary contribution monthly ang mababayaran mo from April–September 2026, may 6 months ka at ₱20,000 MSC. Possible estimated MATBEN mo ay ₱70,000 for normal/CS delivery, basta paid on time at posted lahat. SSS uses the six highest MSCs sa qualifying period.

Hindi nakakadagdag sa amount ang pagiging 10-year member; ang basis ay qualifying contributions mo.

Due date if quarterly payment:
April to June 2026 pay on or before end of July 2026
July to September 2026 pay on or before end of September 2026.
Pwede parin mahulugan ang January to March 2026 same year pero hindi na xa ma count sa SSS Matben kasi considered late payment na but this can be use for future benefits just incase, example Salary loan, Emergency loan, Calamity or long term benefits Pension/ retirement benefits.
