EDD ko is December 2026. Nag-resign ako ng June and filed the MAT 1 pero hindi ko pa napalitan and membership status ko to voluntary and also 2 ang na-file kong notification accidentally (but same EDD so it's like duplicated) because the the first filing was on June but i didn't get an email ( I thought dapat may matanggap akong email pero hindi pala kailangan since maternity notification palang ito) and I later on filed another on July. Will this affect the process of my maternity benefit?
Hi mommy 😊 Hindi naman po usually maaapektuhan ang MatBen mo dahil lang may duplicate MAT-1 with the same EDD. Ang importante, may proof ka na nakapag-file ka before delivery, kaya save mo ang screenshot/reference number ng June and July filing.
Kung December 2026 ang actual delivery mo, ang qualifying period mo ay July 2025–June 2026. Since nag-resign ka ng June, counted pa rin ang employer contributions mo basta paid and posted. Ang July onwards na hulog ay hindi na kasama sa Dec 2026 MatBen computation.
Dahil separated ka before delivery, ikaw na usually ang mag-file ng MAT-2 / Maternity Benefit Application after manganak. Possible hingin ng SSS ang Certificate of Separation with separation date and certification na wala kang natanggap na advance maternity payment.
Best step mommy: ipa-verify sa SSS branch kung alin sa dalawang MAT-1 ang active, para hindi magka-conflict sa filing. Huwag na muna mag-file ulit.
Last QP month: June 2026 — qualifying payments should be made on or before end of June 2026.
