Voluntary General Question EDD: April 2027
Question from SHE
Sep 28, 2026

KAPAG NAGHULOG NA AKO NG JULY-DEC 2026, NEED PA BA HULUGAN ANG JAN-MARCH 2027?

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Sep 28, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 Kung EDD mo is May 2027 and nakapaghulog ka na ng July–December 2026, hindi mo na kailangan hulugan ang January–March 2027 para lang sa current MatBen computation.
For EDD May 2027, ang qualifying period mo is January–December 2026. So July–December 2026 ✅ counted, while January–March 2027 ❌ hindi na kasama sa qualifying period for this pregnancy. Social Security System

If 6 months ang hulog mo from July–December and mataas enough ang MSC mo, puwede na silang gamitin sa MatBen computation. You can still continue paying January–March 2027 for your regular SSS coverage, pero hindi na sila makakadagdag sa maternity benefit for this pregnancy. Social Security System

Note: We usually recommend to continue lang ang hulog/contributions kasi hindi lang naman SSS Matben and benefits na pwede mo ma avail sa SSS, You may continue contributing po for future benefits.

EDD ko October 27 2027 magkano po makukuha ko

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Sep 30, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 For EDD October 27, 2027, ang qualifying period mo ay July 2026–June 2027. Kailangan may at least 3 valid monthly contributions within that period para maka-qualify sa SSS MatBen. Social Security System
Kung live childbirth, ang exact amount depends sa 6 highest MSCs mo within July 2026–June 2027. If may 6 months at ₱20,000 MSC, possible ang maximum na around ₱70,000 for 105 days. Social Security System

Question

Employee General Question EDD: February 2027
Question from Erna
Sep 30, 2026

Halimbawa po ang Computation ko sa salary differential ay ito:
Full Pay : 45,879.40 (22939.70 mos rate x 2 months)
Less contribution: 3,846.98 (SSS;PH;HDMF - FOR 2 months)

At ang inapprove lang po Ni SSS ay 40,000.00, magkano po ang total na makukuha ni employee na MAT leave benefits bawas na yung contribution nya habang naka-leave?

salamat po

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Sep 30, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 Based sa figures mo:
Full Pay: ₱45,879.40
Less employee contributions: ₱3,846.98
Net full pay: ₱42,032.42
Since ₱40,000 ang approved SSS maternity benefit:
₱42,032.42 − ₱40,000 = ₱2,032.42 salary differential
So estimated total na matatanggap ni employee:
SSS MatBen: ₱40,000
Salary Differential: ₱2,032.42
Total net benefit: ₱42,032.42 ✅
Assuming tama na ang ₱3,846.98 na SSS/PhilHealth/Pag-IBIG employee-share deductions at wala nang ibang applicable adjustment. The employer pays the difference between the employee’s full salary and the SSS maternity benefit.

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Sep 30, 2026

Hi mommy 😊 Para ma-compute natin kung magkano ang possible SSS Maternity Benefit mo, kailangan ko lang itong details:
– EDD or actual delivery date
– Member type: Employee / Voluntary / Self-Employed / OFW / NWS
– Months na may posted SSS contribution
– Contribution amount per month
– If live birth: 105 days, or 120 days if qualified solo parent; miscarriage/ETP is 60 days
SSS uses the 6 highest MSCs within your qualifying period to compute the benefit.
