Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team: Answered Jun 24, 2026

Yes mommy, possible pa makahabol 😊

For EDD Dec. 25, 2026, ang qualifying period mo is July 2025 to June 2026. Yung last hulog mo na March 2024 ay hindi na counted.

Since June 2026 pa ngayon, pwede mo subukan maghulog as Voluntary for April–June 2026. Kung ma-PRN, mabayaran on time, at ma-post sa SSS, may 3 contributions ka na and possible ka nang ma-qualify.(Pay on or before end of June)

Pero yung Jan–March 2026 or older months, likely late na at hindi na mahahabol. Yung July 2026 onwards, pwede mo ituloy for future benefits, pero hindi na counted sa Dec 2026 maternity computation.

Check mo estimate mo dito mommy:
