Question from Julia
Asked Jul 30, 2026

EDD ko po January 2027 at Voluntary member po ako. Sa calculator, wala po akong inilagay na paid/posted contribution sa qualifying period. Gusto ko pong malaman kung maaari ko pang bayaran ang August 2026 para maka-qualify sa SSS maternity benefit. Ang tanong ko po: June 9,2001

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team: Answered Jul 31, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 Kung January 2027 ang EDD mo, ang qualifying period mo ay October 2025–September 2026.

Yes, August 2026 can be counted kung mababayaran siya on time, valid PRN, and posted before October 2026.

Pero 1 month lang na August 2026 is not enough para maka-qualify. Kailangan mo ng at least 3 paid and posted contributions within Oct 2025–Sept 2026.

Kung wala ka pang ibang hulog, target mo dapat at least:

✅ July 2026
✅ August 2026
✅ September 2026

Kung ₱3,000/month ang hulog for 3 months, possible estimate is around ₱35,000 for 105 days. Kung minimum lang, mas mababa ang makukuha.

Yung June 9, 2001 kung birthday mo po iyon, hindi naman issue. Ang importante sa MatBen is yung qualifying period, paid/posted contributions, and MAT-1 filing while pregnant.

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

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team: Answered Aug 8, 2026

Yes mommy 😊 Pwede mo pa habulin ang July 2026—hindi kailangan doblehin ang August. Bayaran mo ang July separately on or before end of August 2026.

For EDD April 2027, qualifying period mo is January–December 2026. December 2026 ang last qualifying month, pero para mabilang sa maternity benefit, make sure paid na ang contributions on or before end of December 2026, bago magsimula ang semester of contingency.

Question from Sherlyn
Asked Aug 8, 2026

EDD ko po February 2027 at Employee member po ako. Sa calculator, wala po akong inilagay na paid/posted contribution sa qualifying period. Gusto ko pong malaman kung maaari ko pang bayaran ang August 2026 para maka-qualify sa SSS maternity benefit. Ang tanong ko po: May hulog ang employer ko noong may at july wala po ako hulog ng june

Open direct answer
Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team: Answered Aug 8, 2026

Yes mommy 😊 For EDD February 2027, qualifying period mo is October 2025–September 2026.

Since Employee ka, employer po ang magre-remit ng contributions. If posted na ang May at July, pwede maging 3rd contribution ang August 2026 once remitted by your employer. Yung missing June, follow up din sa employer—hindi dapat mawala ang benefit rights mo dahil lang sa employer remittance issue.

👉 September 2026 ang last qualifying month, at regular employer due date nito is on or before end of October 2026.
