SSS Maternity Questions & Answers

For EDD September 2026, mommy, ang qualifying period is April 2025 to March 2026.

So kung last contribution mo ay April 2026, hindi na po counted ang April 2026 for September EDD. SSS counts the 12 months before the semester of childbirth, and the member needs at least 3 qualifying contributions in that period.

Makakakuha ka lang if may at least 3 posted contributions from April 2025 to March 2026.

Kung meron kang hulog sa period na yan, dito mo ma-check estimate:

Hi mommy 😊 SSS maternity is not refund ng hospital expenses, cash benefit po siya based sa SSS contributions.
Since Jan 21, 2026 ka nanganak, ang qualifying period mo is Oct 2024 to Sept 2025. Need may at least 3 posted contributions sa period na yan. SSS also says OFW/VM members should notify SSS directly, and claims can be filed online through My.SSS.
Steps mommy:

Login sa My.SSS

Enroll your bank/e-wallet sa DAEM

File Maternity Benefit Application

Upload Dubai birth/delivery documents. Since abroad nangyari, foreign documents should have English translation and be authenticated by PH Embassy/Consulate or notarized in the host country.

Kung employed ka during delivery, check muna with HR. Kung OFW/voluntary/separated ka, ikaw usually ang magfa-file.

Sa hulog mo, counted ang June 2025 to January 2026. Yung March 2025 hindi counted kasi before qualifying period.

Yes mommy, pwede pa po possible 😊
Kung EDD mo ay January 2027, ang qualifying period mo is October 2025 to September 2026. Need mo ng at least 3 posted contributions within that period para ma-qualify sa maternity benefit.
Kung Voluntary/SE ka, pwede ka pang maghulog sa mga months na pasok pa sa qualifying period, basta may PRN, paid on time, at posted. Mas okay asikasuhin agad.(if quarterly payment ka generate ka 1prn for April – June then pay mo xa on or before end of July or as early as possible then yung July to Sept Quarterly payment pay mo xa on or before end of Sept.)

Hi mommy, qualified ka na possible kasi may hulog ka na October 2025 to January 2026 😊
For EDD January 2027, ang qualifying period mo is October 2025 to September 2026. Need lang at least 3 posted contributions within that period.
Pero yung February–March 2026, kung hindi pa nabayaran hanggang ngayon, possible late na kasi Q1 deadline usually end of April. Mas safe na ang habulin mo na lang ay April–September 2026, basta gagawa ka ng PRN, paid on time, at posted. SSS says SE/Voluntary members may pay monthly or quarterly through PRN. .(if quarterly payment ka generate ka 1prn for April – June then pay mo xa on or before end of July or as early as possible then yung July to Sept Quarterly payment pay mo xa on or before end of Sept.)
