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

Yes mommy, pwede ka mag-file directly sa SSS after manganak if closed na talaga ang company or separated ka na before filing MAT-2 😊
Pero bago magsara ang company, humingi ka na agad sa HR ng:
Certificate of Separation na may effective date, and
Certification na wala kang natanggap na advance maternity benefit.
Ito usually kailangan ni SSS kapag separated member or closed/ceased operation na ang company. If hindi na makuha sa employer, SSS may allow an affidavit/undertaking for cases like company closure.
Mas okay asikasuhin mo na habang open pa sila para iwas delay.
Check mo rin estimate mo dito mommy:
