Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team: Answered Jul 20, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 Gets ko po bakit nakakalito. For OFW, yes, may rule na ang October–December 2025 contribution can be paid until January 31, 2026.

Pero for SSS maternity benefit, may separate rule: hindi counted ang contributions na nabayaran within or after the semester of contingency.

Kung June 20, 2026 ang EDD/actual delivery mo, ang semester of contingency ay January–June 2026, at ang qualifying period mo ay January–December 2025.

So kahit pasok ang October–December 2025 sa qualifying period, dahil nabayaran mo siya noong January 15, 2026, nasa loob na siya ng semester of contingency. Kaya possible na tama ang denial ni SSS na hindi siya counted for MatBen.

Last QP month: December 2025 — qualifying payments should be made on or before end of December 2025 para safe sa maternity computation.

Best step mommy: request ka sa SSS ng computation/denial breakdown and ask kung may ibang contributions ka from January–September 2025 na counted. Kung Oct–Dec lang ang base mo at nabayaran Jan 15, likely hindi talaga counted for June 2026 MatBen.

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team: Answered Jul 27, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 Hindi po automatic na hindi ka qualified, pero kailangan muna malaman ang EDD month/year mo.

Sa SSS MatBen, ang tinitingnan ay kung may at least 3 paid and posted contributions sa qualifying period mo.

Since wala ka nang hulog simula June 2025, ganito ang guide:

Kung Oct–Dec 2026 ang EDD mo, likely hindi qualified kung wala kang hulog from July 2025–June 2026.
Kung Jan–Mar 2027 ang EDD mo, possible pa kung makakahulog ka ng July–September 2026 on time.
Kung Apr–Jun 2027 ang EDD mo, possible pa rin kung makakahulog ka ng at least 3 months in 2026 on time.

Pakicomment mommy ang EDD month/year mo para macheck kung anong months ang dapat mong bayaran at kung pwede pa makahabol.

Employee General Question

Question from Kath

Asked Jul 24, 2026

Edd ko July tapos Ang hulog ko Nov. 2025 Hanggang June 2026 magkano Ang mat Ben ko

Open direct answer

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team: Answered Jul 26, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 Kung July 2026 ang EDD/actual delivery mo, ang qualifying period mo ay April 2025–March 2026.

Sa hulog mo na November 2025–June 2026, ang counted lang sa MatBen ay November 2025–March 2026 basta paid and posted on time. Hindi na counted ang April–June 2026 kasi nasa semester of contingency na sila.

May at least 5 counted months ka, so possible kang qualified. Pero hindi pa masasabi ang exact amount without your monthly contribution or MSC.

Example: kung ₱3,000 total contribution per month ang counted months mo, possible estimate for 105 days ay around ₱58,333. Kung mas mababa ang hulog, mas mababa rin ang benefit.

Last QP month: March 2026 — qualifying payments should be made on or before end of March 2026.

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team: Answered Jul 26, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 Kung September 4, 2026 ang EDD mo, ang qualifying period mo ay April 2025–March 2026.

Kung 3 months lang ang nahulugan mo ng ₱3,000 per month, possible kang qualified basta those months are within April 2025–March 2026, paid on time, and posted.

Kung ₱3,000 total SSS contribution per month iyon, estimate for normal/CS 105 days is around ₱35,000. Hindi pa siya ₱70,000 kasi para sa maximum, kailangan usually 6 months na ₱20,000 MSC within the qualifying period.

Tataas lang siya kung may other valid paid/posting months ka pa within April 2025–March 2026. Hindi na makakadagdag ang April 2026 onwards for September 2026 EDD.

Last QP month: March 2026 — qualifying payments should be made on or before end of March 2026.
