Voluntary MAT-2 / Claim Filing
Question from Yohan
Asked Jun 18, 2026

kailan ko makukuha ang sss maternity benefits ko

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

Usually mommy, makukuha mo ang SSS maternity benefit after ma-file at ma-approve ang maternity claim/MAT-2.

Kung employed ka, usually si employer/HR ang mag-aadvance or mag-aasikaso, then SSS reimburses them.
Kung voluntary/SE/OFW/separated, diretso sa approved disbursement account mo once approved.

Practical estimate: around 1–4 weeks, depende kung complete ang documents, approved ang bank/e-wallet, at walang correction sa claim. Some cases receive payout around 3–10 business days after approval, but it is not guaranteed.

Check mo status sa My.SSS > Benefits > Maternity Benefit Claim mommy

Employee Employer / Resigned / Separated EDD: August 2026
Question from Diane
Asked Jun 17, 2026

EDD ko po ay August 4, 2026 ask ko Lang po Dati po Ako employed at may hulog last May-December 2025 at pasok namn po sa Qualifying period ko... Kaso nag resign po Ako nung December 2025 at Ako po mismo nag file Ng Mat1 ko., okey napo ba Yun or need ko pa mag pa voluntary?

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

For EDD August 4, 2026, ang qualifying period mo is April 2025 to March 2026. Since may hulog ka from May–December 2025, pasok po yan, basta posted sa SSS. Need at least 3 contributions within QP.

Hindi mo na kailangang mag-voluntary para lang ma-qualify, pero pwede ka mag-voluntary kung gusto mong ituloy ang SSS contributions mo for future benefits.

Since resigned ka na, after manganak, prepare ka rin ng Certificate of Separation with effective date and no advance maternity payment from previous employer, kasi separated ka before delivery.

Check mo estimate mo dito mommy:

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team: Answered Jun 18, 2026

Hi Mi, Kung New member ka at ngayon ka palang nagpa member (current month:June) pwde mo ma pay contribution mo ngayong June, then yung July - Sept if quarterly payment pay mo xa on or before end of Sept. Quarterly Payment meaning you generate 1 PRN for July to Sept then pay mo isang bagsakan bago mag end ang sept of much better pay as early as possible.
