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 😊 Since actual delivery mo ay June 2023, ang qualifying period mo ay January–December 2022. Kailangan may at least 3 valid contributions within that period.

Yung October–December 2022 ay qualifying months sana. Pero kung Voluntary/Self-Employed ka at January 2023 mo lang talaga sila binayaran, hindi na sila magagamit sa June 2023 MatBen computation, kahit pasok pa sana sa normal quarterly payment deadline. SSS only considers qualifying contributions paid before the applicable maternity cutoff.

Yung January–June 2023 contributions ❌ hindi rin kasama sa qualifying period ng June 2023 delivery.

So kung wala kang ibang valid/paid contributions from January–September 2022, unfortunately hindi ka makaka-qualify based sa contributions na nabanggit mo.

Kung Employee member ka noong Oct–Dec 2022 at employer ang nag-remit noong January 2023, sabihin mo lang mommy dahil ibang case iyon at kailangan nating i-check separately.

Hi mommy 😊 Yes po, possible pa rin makakuha ng SSS Maternity Benefit kahit 1 month pa lang ang pregnancy at nagkaroon ng miscarriage, basta qualified ka based sa SSS contribution requirement. SSS covers miscarriage regardless of how early the pregnancy ended, provided may medical proof of pregnancy and miscarriage.

For miscarriage, ang benefit is computed for 60 days. Kailangan may at least 3 monthly contributions within your qualifying period.

Usually kailangan din ng documents such as proof of pregnancy (pregnancy test, ultrasound, Beta HCG, etc.), proof of miscarriage/termination, at medical certificate or clinical records signed by a doctor.

Send mo lang mommy ang actual date ng miscarriage + member type + contribution months, then mache-check natin kung qualified ka at estimate kung magkano ang possible MatBen.
or pwede mo macheck dito sa link ilagay mo lang member type mo, maternity case (type of miscarriage) lalabas doon kelan nangyare miscarriage ilagay lang ang date at QP mo with month contributions.
