Question

Voluntary Employer / Resigned / Separated EDD: December 2026
Question from MYRALYN
Jun 18, 2026

EDD ko po ay Dec. 25,2026 ang last hulog ko pa po ay March 2024 pa nung nag wowork pa ko sa company. Then d ko na po na hulog an since wala naman po ako work nasa bahay lang tapos na laman ko pong buntis ako ay nitong May 2026 Lang makakaabot pa po ba ako sa contribution para ma claim ang maternity benefits?

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Jun 24, 2026

Yes mommy, possible pa makahabol šŸ˜Š

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 Aprilā€“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 Janā€“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:
