SSS Maternity Questions & Answers

Hi mommy, I’m sorry you went through this. 💛 Since the actual miscarriage date was August 23, 2026 and nakapag-file ka na ng Maternity Notification, puwede ka nang mag-file ng Maternity Benefit Application for miscarriage once complete ang medical documents mo. SSS provides 60 days of maternity benefit for miscarriage, provided qualified ka based on contributions.

If Voluntary / Self-Employed / OFW / NWS / separated from employment, gawin ito online:

Log in sa My.SSS
Go to Benefits → Apply for Maternity Benefit
Enter August 23, 2026 as the miscarriage date.
Upload your supporting documents.
Submit the application. Make sure may approved DAEM/disbursement account ka.

For miscarriage, prepare:

Proof of pregnancy — ultrasound, Beta HCG/blood pregnancy test, or physician-signed pregnancy test
Proof of miscarriage — ultrasound, histopathology, Operating Room Record, or other accepted physician-signed proof
Medical Certificate, Clinical Abstract/Discharge Summary, or Record of Consultation signed by your doctor.

Since nangyari sa Cebu Velez General Hospital, magandang kunin mo ang Clinical Abstract/Discharge Summary and ultrasound/medical records bago mag-file.

Your qualifying period for the August 23, 2026 miscarriage is April 2025–March 2026. If may at least 3 valid contributions ka within that period, possible kang qualified for the 60-day MatBen.

If currently employed ka, sabihin mo sa HR/employer dahil employer ang magpo-process/advance ng maternity benefit rather than ikaw ang direct individual claimant.

Hi mommy 😊 For EDD December 2026, ang qualifying period mo ay July 2025–June 2026. Kailangan may at least 3 valid monthly contributions within this period para maka-qualify sa SSS MatBen.

Since Non-Working Spouse ka at wala kang paid/posted contributions sa qualifying period, unfortunately hindi na puwedeng habulin ngayon ang January 2026 or other missed months. SSS does not allow retroactive/back-payment for NWS contribution gaps.

So kahit July mo lang nalaman na pregnant ka, kung wala talagang at least 3 contributions already paid within July 2025–June 2026, unfortunately hindi na makaka-qualify for this December 2026 MatBen.

Kung Philheatlh member karin Mommy, pwede mo din macheck kung qualified ka, basta philhealth member, updated and details or contributions. Pero unlike SSS Matben cash benefits, ang Philhealth matben is more on cash deduction from hospital bilss sa mga accredited hospitals or lying in. If you plan to give birth sa mga philhealth accredited hospital or lying in mas ok po kung i check mismo sa kanila kung ano mga requirements nila para ma avail mo yung Philhealth matben deduction.

Just incase you also need extra fund, We have a affiliate link for credit card po, No commitment kung qualified man or hindi pwede kapo mag fill up

Hi mommy 😊 Since actual miscarriage date mo ay August 21, 2026, ang qualifying period mo ay April 2025–March 2026. Kailangan may at least 3 valid monthly contributions within this period para maka-qualify sa SSS maternity benefit.

Yung hulog mo na July at August 2026 ❌ hindi na counted for this miscarriage claim dahil outside na sila sa qualifying period.

So kung July–August 2026 lang talaga ang contributions mo at wala kang at least 3 hulog from April 2025–March 2026, unfortunately hindi ka qualified sa SSS maternity benefit for this miscarriage.

For miscarriage, qualified members can receive a benefit based on 60 days.

Check mo muna mommy ang My.SSS contribution history mo baka may older contributions ka within April 2025–March 2026—kung meron at umabot sa 3 months, possible ka pa ring qualified.
