Voluntary General Question
Question from Kim
Jul 30, 2026

Hello po. I have few questions po.

1. Nakapaghulog po ako ng July to September contribution worth Php 2850 each. Then sinubukan ko pong hulugan pa ang April to June worth tig Php 3150 each at nagreflect naman po agad sa account ko. Nakalagay po kasi dito sa calculator na pwede pang bayaran ang contribution ng April to June until July 30 so hinabol ko po. Ang tanong ko po ay counted po ba sa maternity benefit ko po ang April to June? Considered po ba itong late payment na at hindi na po maisasama sa computation ng mat ben?

2. Kung counted po, mga magkano po kaya possible makuha if my contributions are:
April- 3150
May- 3150
June- 3150
July- 2850
August- 2850
September- 2850

3. I-clarify ko na din po, sa profile ko po ay nakalagay na status pa din ay employee pero I paid as voluntary. Nag automatic change po ba ang membership from employee to voluntary? Or need ko pa pong lakarin ang change of membership sa branch?

Maraming salamat po.

Hi mommy 😊

Based sa details mo (If EDD is January / February or March 2027):

1. Counted ba ang April–June 2026?
Yes, possible na counted siya. Since nabayaran mo siya within July at nag-post agad sa account mo, hindi siya dapat ma-consider na late for your February 2027 MatBen. Pasok pa rin siya sa qualifying period mo.

2. Magkano possible MatBen?
Kung ito ang posted contributions mo:

April – ₱3,150
May – ₱3,150
June – ₱3,150
July – ₱2,850
August – ₱2,850
September – ₱2,850

Estimated SSS maternity benefit mo for 105 days is around ₱68,250.

3. Employee pa rin ang status ko sa profile pero nagbayad ako as Voluntary.
Kung tinanggap ng My.SSS ang payment mo bilang Voluntary at posted na ang contributions, usually hindi mo na kailangang pumunta sa branch para lang sa membership change. Ang pag-generate ng PRN at pagbabayad bilang Voluntary serves as your declaration for that contribution period. Kung gusto mo lang ma-confirm, pwede mong i-check ang contribution details sa My.SSS o mag-inquire sa SSS hotline/branch.

Mukhang ok naman po yung paghabol ng payment mo for April–June. I-save mo lang ang PRN at payment receipts hanggang matapos ang maternity claim.

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Sep 12, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 For EDD May 2027, ang qualifying period mo ay January–December 2026, so July 2026 ✅ counted sa MatBen computation.

Kung Voluntary/NWS member ka, puwede pa ang July contribution as part of the July–September quarter, payable on or before end of September 2026 this is for Matben Due date pero normaly sa SSS contribution kapag nag Generate ka ng PRN ang lalabas na Due date is on or before end of October. Kung Matben claim ka Mommy make sure mahulugan mo yan on or before end of September or as early as possible bago matapos ang last month ng Qualifying Period mo.

Question

Voluntary Contribution / Payment Deadline EDD: July 2020
Question from Mommy
Sep 8, 2026

EDD of ectopic pregnancy July 20,2020 tapos may hulog ako january hanggang june 2020

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Sep 12, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 If ang actual ectopic pregnancy/termination date mo ay July 20, 2020, ang qualifying period mo ay April 2019–March 2020.

So sa contributions na sinabi mo:

January 2020 ✅ counted
February 2020 ✅ counted
March 2020 ✅ counted
April–June 2020 ❌ hindi na kasama sa qualifying period

If valid at properly paid ang January–March 2020, mayroon kang required 3 qualifying contributions, so possible kang qualified for SSS maternity benefit for 60 days dahil covered ang ectopic pregnancy under miscarriage/ETP benefits.

Good news din mommy: SSS maternity claims may be filed within 10 years from the date of miscarriage/ETP, so kung July 20, 2020 ang actual date, possible pa ring mag-file ngayon subject to SSS validation and complete medical documents.

Question

General Question EDD: November 2026
Question from Mommy
Sep 6, 2026

EDD ko November 22, 2026 private employed kailan ko po makukuha yung maternity benefits ko

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Sep 7, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 Since private employed ka, employer mo ang mag-a-advance ng SSS maternity benefit.

For EDD November 22, 2026, ang qualifying period mo ay July 2025–June 2026. If qualified ka based sa contributions mo, ang full maternity benefit should be advanced by the employer within 30 days from the filing of your maternity leave application.

So hindi po automatic na after November 22 mo pa makukuha. Ang timing depends sa date na officially na-file mo ang maternity leave application sa employer/HR.

You can ask HR:
“Kailan po considered filed ang maternity leave application ko, and kailan po target release ng advance MatBen?”
