I wanted to do this post because I remembered when I was preparing for my own SSS and PhilHealth papers, I had a hard time looking for complete requirements and specific procedures on how to file for these government benefits, more specifically, the Maternity Benefit from SSS. There were limited sources on the Internet and nothing really personal. I think I had a difficult time because I was looking for someone’s own experience of the whole process (and not just from SSS and PhilHealth’s official websites) so that I wouldn’t have to waste time waiting in long lines (‘coz we know lines in government offices are LONG), just to be told that I have to come back because my requirements are incomplete or something.
So after doing research over the internet, I finally felt that I had everything I needed. I’ve always had the notion that when dealing with the government you’d be faced with incompetent and corrupt people (so you have to make sure that you have everything perfect), but surprisingly, in this whole journey of finally being able to get something back from the government, I didn’t have any major problems. It was a breeze. The government employees were not particularly pleasant but they got the job done. Good job. 🙂
Here’s what I did and where I filed my papers. Let’s see if I remember it right (eep!). I hope other expectant moms will find this post helpful. 🙂
By the way, all these is assuming that you are paying your SSS and PhilHealth fees. Also, I filed under self-employed. I believe the procedures and requirements for self-employed individuals are shorter and quicker.
To Claim PhilHealth Benefits
The Philhealth benefit was deducted from our hospital bill. Cardinal Santos Medical Center already had the papers prepared for us. I just had to fill up the CF1 form and they needed a copy of my Philhealth ID. Forms CF2 and CF3 were already prepared by the hospital.
You can download the forms here.
Getting my Philhealth ID was super easy, and FREE. Would you believe there’s still something free you can get from the government?!?! Anyway, these government satellite offices are so convenient, too. My husband and I went to Robinson’s Galleria Lingkod Pinoy area to get our IDs.
What You Need
1. Copy of your ID (Driver’s License or Passport)
2. Marriage Certificate (if you plan to change your name to your married name)
3. PhilHealth Number
Procedure
The PhilHealth satellite office in Robinson’s Galleria didn’t have a real office space. There was just a counter. We told the people behind the counter that we wanted to get our IDs so they had us fill out a form. We submitted the other requirements, and they printed our updated MDR and new IDs within minutes. It was so quick I loved it!
To Claim SSS Benefits
After all these years, I still haven’t applied for my SSS ID. I never really felt the need to get it. I mean, you just need the SSS number, right? Well, like I said before, you don’t want to have any mistakes when claiming your benefits from the government. So, I went and applied (not for my SSS ID) for the UMID (or the Unified Multi-Purpose ID), thinking I could use it anywhere. By the way, it’s FREE, too. 🙂
I got my UMID about a month and a half after applying for it.
How To Get UMID
What You Need
1. ID (Driver’s License or Passport)
2. Accomplished form (download here)
Procedure
We just passed the requirements. They digitally took our photos and signature. The acknowledgement stub was given back to us. Done! We just waited for it to be delivered to our house.
Reading about this UMID, I thought, other government bodies (at least PhilHealth) would honor this ID. Unfortunately, not all government employees are familiar with this. When I asked someone from PhilHealth if I could use my UMID, she just gave me a blank stare. She didn’t know about it. UMID seems just like your ordinary SSS ID.
Anyway, I’ve always tried doing chores and planning our schedules as efficiently as I could. For instance, when I planned to get our UMID, I also scheduled to submit my maternity notice form. You should submit your Maternity Notice Form at least 60 days from the date of conception.
Part 1: Submit Maternity Notice Form
We went to SSS Branch: F. Blumentritt because there were less people there according to my brother-in-law. I also found the employees there nice and accommodating.
What You Need
1. Accomplished SSS Maternity Notification Form. Unfortunately, the one I downloaded over the Internet was outdated so I filled out the new form at their office. I just asked the nice guy giving out queue numbers what form I needed.
2. Proof of pregnancy. I brought my first ultrasound result.
3. SSS ID or UMID or 2 Valid IDs. Since I was just about to apply for my ID, I brought my passport and driver’s license.
Procedure
I just submitted the form and requirements. It was stamped and returned to me immediately. These would have to be filed together with other requirements after I give birth.
Note: When filing for your reimbursement, you will have to wait for the certified true or authenticated copy of your child’s duly registered birth certificate. We waited until we got a copy from city hall (for a small fee, the person handling birth certificates in Cardinal Santos Medical Center handled this for us).
Part 2: Reimbursement Process
What You Need
1. Stamped Maternity Notification Form
2. Accomplished MAT-2 Form (Maternity Reimbursement Form)
3. SSS ID/UMID and the “Pink” paper (SS Form E-1)
4. Certified true or authenticated copy of your child’s duly registered birth certificate
Procedure
Just submit all forms and requirements. The person I dealt with asked to see the original authenticated copy of Light’s birth certificate but returned it back to me right after. The acknowledgement stub was handed to me and that was it. After a month I got my reimbursement cheque already. 🙂
Last Tip: Bring both the original and photocopies of your IDs. Some government employees would ask for the original. It’s always better to be prepared. 🙂
UPDATE January 2018: There’s a new form for self employed members in the reimbursement process. Get the form here. You will also need to photocopy your ATM card, write down your bank account number and account name, and bank branch on it. Make sure it’s a personal account. Your SSS benefit will be deposited to your account, not sent through mail anymore. This is SSS’ SMEC-PB program. I got mine about 1 month after submitting my requirements. 🙂
Mommy
I just want to ask how about on ny 5th baby can i still get maternity benefits even i didnt use my sss frm my 3 deliveries…
Hi Mayet! Hmm.. I’m not sure about your situation. I think it’s best you call the SSS office and just ask them. Call the branch that you plan to go to.
Just want to ask how much did u get?? Just for me to know thanks
Oh my, I think it was less than 10k only. I forgot already. The last time I proceesed my papers for my second pregnancy, they actually showed me how much I would be getting. So maybe you can ask them when you file your papers. 🙂
Kahit po ba 5 months lng yung nahulog mkakakuha pa rin po ba ako sa sss. This coming November po kc due date ko.
Hi Haidie! Here’s what I found on the SSS official website.
“A member is qualified to avail of this benefit if:
She has paid at least three monthly contributions within the 12-month period immediately preceding the semester of her childbirth or miscarriage.
She has given the required notification of her pregnancy to SSS through her employer if employed; or submitted the maternity notification directly to the SSS if separated from employment, a voluntary or self-employed member.
The maternity benefit shall be paid only for the first four (4) deliveries or miscarriages starting May 24, 1997 when the Social Security Act of 1997 (RA 8282) took effect.”
Hi Is it okay if i will just submit my E1 form? because i don’t have SSS ID yet 🙁
Hi Mommy Juvie! Yes you can. It’s what I did before because I still didn’t have my SSS ID. I suggest getting the UMID also when you’re there filing your Maternity Notice so you’ll have an ID.
thanks
Mahahabol pa po ba yng sss ko nanganak na po kse ako isang buwan lng po hinulugan ng opis nmin yng sss ko nung dec lng po nag start po ako nag work Oct 2015…
Hi Kathrina, here’s what I found on the SSS official site.
“She has paid at least three monthly contributions within the 12-month period immediately preceding the semester of her childbirth or miscarriage.”
So if your employer has been paying since December 2015 until maybe last month July 2016, you should be qualified. 🙂
Wala pong hulog ang January to July 2016 wala na po akong work 🙂 salamat pro 🙂
Hi Kathrina, I’m really not an expert in this haha. But it says in their requirements that you have to pay 3 monthly distributions in order to be qualified. I think you should ask them directly to be sure. 🙂
How long po makukuha ang maternity benefits.? Ceasarean po? Thanks
Hi Lyhn! I got mine a month after I filed my papers. I’m not sure if there’s a difference if you’re CS. There shouldn’t be I think. Maybe you can ask them directly when you file your papers. 🙂
hello I will be giving birth this dec. tpos my 1 month hulog po aq s sss..paghinulugan ko kaya ngaun yan mkkhabol po kaya aq s mternity benefit im 5 months pregnang po.tnx
Hi mommy! The requirement states 3 monthly contributions so perhaps you can still avail for the benefit. Ask SSS directly to be sure. 🙂
Hi po ask ko lang kung magkano ung makuha sa sss maternity benefit?
Hi Gil. I found this on the official website of the SSS.
“For example, let us say that an SSS member gives birth in December 2013.
– The semester of contingency would be from July 2013 to December 2013.
– The 12-month period before the semester of contingency would be from July 2012 to June 2013.
– Let us assume that the six highest monthly salary credits are P15,000 each. Thus, the total monthly salary credit would be P90,000 (P15, 000 x 6).
– The daily maternity allowance would be P500 (P90,000/180).
– The total maternity benefit due would be P30,000 (P500 x 60 days) for normal delivery/miscarriage/ectopic pregnancy not requiring operation, or P39,000 (P500 x 78) for caesarian cases or ectopic pregnancy requiring operation.”
So you get the 6 highest monthly salary.You add those and divide by 180 days to get the daily allowance. Multiply that by 60 days for normal delivery or 78 days for CS.
hi ask ko lang,, since may 60/78 days maternity leave sa company, Continue pa din ba si employer na magbayad ng mga contributions? sa sss, philhealth, pag ibig.
Hi Denson! I’m not really sure about that. I think you should ask the company. 🙂
Hi!
Not sure if you have any idea but what about if you’ll give birth abroad and cannot provide the original forms and IDs immediately (wont be able to visit any branch as well)? I am paying voluntary and was not able to inform SSS ahead of time. Im due next week and not sure if I could still claim the benefit given Im not in the Philippines anymore.
Thanks! ?
Hi Claire! I’m sorry but I’m not sure about your situation. One of the requirements is to submit the notification to SSS so you can be qualified. I think it’s best to ask an SSS personnel directly. 🙂
Hi ! Good day,
ask q lng po member na po ako ng sss since 2004 wala pa po akong hulog kahit na isa..makakapag avail po ba ako ng maternity benefits qng magstart na po ako maghulog this coming September 2016 as voluntary..ang Due date q po is April 2016..maraming salamat po.sana matulungan nyo po ako.
Hi Cristy! I’m not really sure but if we base it on their requirements, you only need to be paying “at least three monthly contributions within the 12-month period immediately preceding the semester of her childbirth or miscarriage”. So you should be qualified already even if you only start paying this month (September). Double check with SSS also to be sure. 🙂 I’m really not an expert. 🙂
Were you able to inquire? We have the same case.. same edc.. technically, you can still pay for sept til dec 2016 to avail of maternity benefits. That is if you are sure you will really deliver by april. For the semester of contingency would be jan til june 2017. Sometimes considering that the labor could still be from march until your edc of april if its first week such in my case, the contribution that would only qualify would be your sept. In that case, the semester of contingency will be from oct 2016 til march 2017. So you will not have claims if that would only be one month even if you paid for oct til dec. Anyway if its 2nd week of april onwards, it would be still safe to pay your contributions until december.. it is still great help. I think for minimum you could get at least 15k not sure.. ive learned my lesson the hard way so maximize this maternity benefit.. Godbless u n ur baby..
Hi Cristine. This is very helpful information. As you might’ve read, we have a lot of concerns from mommies about this topic. 🙂 Thank you!
Hi po,ask KO lang po DNA kc ako ngwowork how to apply as voluntary member in sss or Phil health PRA mgtuloy tuloy ako n mkahulog,thank u
Hi Jenely! You can try accessing the SSS official website (www.sss.gov.ph). I think you can already apply online if you’re not a member yet. I’m not really familiar with the procedures but you should check their website, or go to an SSS branch near you. 🙂
makaka avail ba ulit aq sa sss sa second baby ko?
Hi Rose. Yes, you can still get your maternity benefit for your second baby.
“The maternity benefit shall be paid only for the first four (4) deliveries or miscarriages starting May 24, 1997 when the Social Security Act of 1997 (RA 8282) took effect.”
Hi ask ko lang po 8 months pregnant na po aq next month manganganak na po ako Pero ung philhealth ko last 2013 pa me hulog anu po ggwin q magagamit ko po padin un o mag hhabol po aq ng hulog
Hi Kean. I’m not really sure about Philhealth. I had to show the receipts of my recent contributions in Philheath at the hospital when I gave birth. I think you should call Philhealth and ask them directly. Trunkline is (02)441-7444.
Manganganak na po by the end of sept. Ung kapatid ko .. Pwede pa ba hulugan ung philhealth nia para makapag avail xa ng maternity benefit sa lying in ? Single mother po sya. Anu anubg buwan dapat nya hulugan ? Sana po may magrespond skin ty so much
Hi Arlyn. I think you should call Philhealth directly. Trunkline is (02)441-7444. That’s from their website. 🙂
Hi po. Manganganak po ako sa public hospital. Magagamit ko po ba both philhealth and sss ko? Thank you!
Hi Arni! I think if you’ve completed all requirements and the hospital honors Philhealth membership discount, there shouldn’t be a problem. 🙂
hi po..tanong ko lang po due ko po last week of october, magagamit ko po b ung philhealth ko sa panganganak kun ang naihulog ng company ay apat n buwan lang? parang april to july lang yung nabayaran po..thank u po! godbless po!
Hi Cheenee. I’m not really sure. I remember I had to show/prepare at least 6 months of my Philhealth contributions to the hospital. You should inquire about it at the hospital where you plan to give birth. 🙂

Hi Ruby. I’m sorry but I’m not so sure about your situation. The requirement is “at least three monthly contributions”. It’s best if you contact SSS directly and inquire with them. 🙂
Ask ko lng po f makaka avail ako ng sss maternity benifits kahit ung asawa q ang member..
Hi Vjay. If I’m not mistaken, only mothers can avail of the maternity benefits. They should be members. You should inquire with the SSS. 🙂
hello po,magagamit ko po b ang sss ko kung 6mos palang po ako nakahulog ulit ngaun taon?dec po due ko,salamat po
Hi Mitch! I always advice to contact SSS directly. But their requirement is at least 3 monthly contributions so you should be able to avail of the benefit.
hi mommy! ask ko lang po kung magbabayad ako july2016- june 2017..at manganganak ako ng june 2017. may makukuha po ba ako sa sss ko?
Hi Mommy Donna! I think you can still apply and avail your benefits since the requirement is to have at least “three monthly contributions within the 12-month period immediately preceding the semester of her childbirth or miscarriage.” Just don’t forget to do the other requirement of submitting the maternity notification form.
If other mommies out there can help out in the other questions, or if you have the same experiences, please do share them with us. 🙂
Thanks po
^_^
Malaking tulong po sa akin tong nabasa ko

Hi Mommy Mariko! I’m glad you stumbled upon this post. 🙂 Have fun on your pregnancy!
hi mommy. i’m about to give birth this january, if i would filing my philhealth for maternity package does the hospital bill automatically deducts its coverage? or do i still have to pay in full before i have it reimbursed?
also, i haven’t changed my marital status yet, do i need to change it first before i can use the banefit? thanks.
thanku
Hi Princess! In my case, the hospital already deducted the Philhealth discount from my bill. I’m not sure about the marital status, though. I don’t remember it being an issue. 🙂
Very helpful. Thank you so much ma’am.
You’re welcome Elaine! 🙂
Hi Mommy! Hindi na ba kelangan ang receipt of payment when applying for reimbursement?
Hello po. I have already completed my requirements last Dec 19. SSS told me to check the status after 2 weeks. Nung nag-check ako under smec tab, ang sabi “no maternity benefits”, almost 1 month na po and same scenario lang din. Naiprocess kaya yung claim ko? TYIA!
Hi Mommy! I didn’t do any follow ups so I’m not sure how you follow it up. You should call their office though. There could be a problem with your papers or maybe the cheque is just delayed. 🙂
Hi Im working here in jeddah saudi arabia im coming 3 months pregnant and i decided to deliver here. My question is can i have maternal benefits here in jeddah by riyal money
Hi Mommy! I’m not sure about your situation. Maybe you can check out the SSS website for information. sss(dot)gov(dot)ph Do share with us what you find out. 🙂 Good luck on your pregnancy!
Hello po, pregnant po ako and sept-oct due ko, kaka reg ko pa lang po sa sss and maghuhulog pa lang po for this semester, and balak ko din po mag advance ng isa pang semester, qualified pa din po ba ko sa maternity benefits? Ilang semester po ba or how many months ang kailangan may hulog?
Hi Mommy! As found on their website, here’s how to be qualified.
“A member is qualified to avail of this benefit if:
She has paid at least three monthly contributions within the 12-month period immediately preceding the semester of her childbirth or miscarriage.
She has given the required notification of her pregnancy to SSS through her employer if employed; or submitted the maternity notification directly to the SSS if separated from employment, a voluntary or self-employed member.
The maternity benefit shall be paid only for the first four (4) deliveries or miscarriages starting May 24, 1997 when the Social Security Act of 1997 (RA 8282) took effect.”
I think I might’ve misunderstood this before. For you to qualify, if you’re about to give birth this September 2017, you should’ve had contributions last year 2016 from October 2015 to September 2016, at least 3 consecutive months during that period. Mommy I’n not really an expert I think you better contact SSS directly.
Very helpful po ang mga information sa post mo. I just completed filing my Maternity Notification yesterday, madali naman sya kasi may priority lane pag buntis. Waiting for my baby na lang 🙂
Thanks Mommy Melody!
Hi. I’m giving birth via CS this August. This is my 5th pregnancy. I did not claim ang sss or philhealth benefit during my first 2 CS. Then when i gave birth Jan 2012 i made my first claim to gov benefits. Back then kasi hndi pa ako member ng sss or philhealth. After ng 3rd baby i got a miscarriage. do i did claims again. now that this is my 5th will i still be covered with sss and philhealth benefits?
Hi Mommy Rose. According to SSS, you can only avail of the benefits until the 4th pregnancy (including miscarriages). And you have to submit the Maternity Notice not later than the date of delivery. I’m not sure if they’ll be able to know exactly how many pregnancies/miscarriages you had before. Maybe you can try filing for your current pregnancy and see if it gets through? Since they only have 1 claim in their record.
For sure for the other previous pregnancies/miscarriages you won’t be able to get a claim anymore since you have to file the notice not later than the date of the delivery or procedure.
Hi mam ask ko lng po how much po kya mkukuha ko maternity benefits ,nagvoluntary po ako cmula January ,and nag byad n po ako start January 2017-oct 2017 330 monthly ang expected due ko po is Oct.2017 .How much po kya pwede ko mkuha?T.y in advance..
Nalilito po kc ako sa pagcompute .
Hello po! I am now in my 4th month of conceiving. As of March, end of the school year, I resigned because of sensitive pregnancy. So, from April to present I am unemployed,my due is on December. My question is, can I avail the philhealth maternity benefits even if Im unemployed? If not, what should I do?
Thanks for your response about this matter. Hoping for your answer. God bless!
Hello harlene! I was having the same case with you. I’m 5mos pregnant today and expected delivery ko is on nov. I’ve visited my philhealth branch yesterday with my husband to inquire. You need to change your membership sakanila from private to IPM (individual paying memeber) since unemployed tayo ngayon. And then you will be asked to pay for atleast 3months individual contri, so if ngayong month ka pupunta sa office nila you will be asked to pay for july-sept just like mine kse atleast 3mons nga dw yung contri. Babalik pa lang ako on monday sa office nila. Pero im sure that we can avail the benefits as long as we will be paying our contri.
Goodluck to you mommy and God bless!
hi mommies, tanung lang po sana ako,employed kasi ako ngaun and sa office namin ako ngpapasa ng requirements. sa sss ngsubmit na ako ng mat1 notice of pregnancy un after nun mat2 namn then sss summary of contribution sa august na kasi ung xpected delivery ko. anu anung papers po ang need kong dalhin sa hospital once manganagnak na ako.. thanks po by the way 1st baby ko po eto..
Hi Mommy! I’m not sure if every hospital is different but for SSS requirements, I didn’t bring anything. When you get your child’s birth certificate (registered already), you will need to file it together with the signed notice form when you go through the reimbursement process.
As for Philhealth, I prepared copies of the last 6 months contribution and my ID. But the hospital just needed a copy of my ID and the deduction was applied on our total bill.
hi po. Is it better to use my philhealth po ba? Sabi kasi sakin mas malaki ang bawas kung dependent ako ni hubby kasi sya yung employed. Thanks.
Hi Mommy! I’m not sure about this. You can ask the hospital I think, how much will the deduction be if you’ll use you hubby’s or yours. 🙂
Hello mommies, ask ko lng po kse 5mos pregnant na ako today and i still havent submit that sss maternity notif. I was also separated from my employer since feb 2017 but i was able to have oct-feb contribution on my sss. will i be able to avail the sss benefits? My philhealth was all good i’ve visited my branch yesterday and paid july-sept contri for me to be able to have the benefits on nov sa delivery ko. I was hoping na sana i could use my sss too.
Thanks!
Hi Mommy April! I think it’s best to file for the notice as soon as possible, before you give birth. Then ask them directly. 🙂 But if my understanding is correct, if you’ve had 3 monthly contributions from the previous year (Dec 2015-Nov 2016) you should still be able to get your benefits. I suggest file the Maternity Notice first then ask them.
Hi mommy! 1st question is, magagamit ko pa rin ba philhealth ko ? I already did all the procedures nung april pa, and already paid my contribution up until sept. kasi quarterly. So already paid July to Sept. But my problem is, Sept yung due date ko. If ever na manganganak talaga ako on the expected month, will I be able to use my philhealth? Or need ng isang month pa para magamit ko yun? 2nd question, if so manganak ako ng earlier kasi 1st baby, August, magagamit ko parin ba philhealth ko? huhu nalilito ako kasi 1st time pa talaga.
3rd question mommy, about sa SSS , 1st time ko lang din nalaman na meron pala benefits ang sSS for pregnancy. Haha last ako nag contribute nung nagtatrabaho pako last 3yrs or 2yrs ata, if I file now *July* and my due date is Sept. and magpe pay ako ng 6month contribution, magagamit ko ba sha this due date ko?
soooo many questions talaga ako mommy, hope you can help! Thank you 🙂
Hi Mommy! For your Philhealth requirement, I’m not sure e. I think you should ask the hospital accounting or like in Cardinal, they have someone who handles mga Philhealth benefits since it will be deducted from the hospital bill.
For your SSS inquiry, you should have 3 monthly contributions from April 2016 to March 2017 because your semester of contingency would be from April 2017 to September 2017. If you have 3 monthly contributions from that period (April 2016 to March 2017) you should be able to get your benefit.
Here’s what I found on the SSS website.
“For example, let us say that an SSS member gives birth in December 2013.
– The semester of contingency would be from July 2013 to December 2013.
– The 12-month period before the semester of contingency would be from July 2012 to June 2013.
– Let us assume that the six highest monthly salary credits are P15,000 each. Thus, the total monthly salary credit would be P90,000 (P15, 000 x 6).
– The daily maternity allowance would be P500 (P90,000/180).
– The total maternity benefit due would be P30,000 (P500 x 60 days) for normal delivery/miscarriage/ectopic pregnancy not requiring operation, or P39,000 (P500 x 78) for caesarian cases or ectopic pregnancy requiring operation.”
Hello mommies! Just found out that I’m 5weeks pregnant this week. My EDD would be on March 2018. I’ve resigned from my prev company last year, May 2016. So that was my last SSS contribution. Coz Im not employed right now. I would just like to ask, what if I would also like to take advantage of SSS benefits, starting from what month should I be paying now? Hope you can enlighten me. Thanks in advance.
As I’ve tried to compute, I believe my semester of contingency would be oct 2017-march 2018, right? And I need to have 3 contributions, more likely it would be for july-sept this year 2017. I suppose, I can still pay my contributions until sept. Am I correct, mommies? I hope so. ? thanks again in advance. ?
Maam 2months pregnant po ako . At march – june 2017 ako nagwork sa sm so 4months lng poa nahulog sa sss ko . Makakaavail po ba ako ng mAt . Kahit hndi ko na hulugan hangang sa manganak ako sa february 2018?
Hi po 1sttym ko po .. Ndi ko po alam kung Paano ko aasikasuhin ang was maternity ko alam ko kc 10mos LNG sya nahulugan,at nung Aug. 2017 pa .. Magagamit ko na yun sa SAS maternity ko at sa Phil health nmn 4mos LNG my hulog dun Pno na mag apply
Hi mommy! Any info. My due date is on April 28, 2018. We are both OFW. May concern is what if pareho kmi ng husband ko both my contri ng sss at philhealth, mas malaki b ang benefit or double kc beneficiary din ako ng husband ko and the same time may contri din ako. Updated ang contri nmin both sss and philhealth. Thanks
Hi Mommy! I’m not familiar with it but I think with Philhealth you can only claim either from your husband or yours. You just have to check which of you can get a higher discount or benefit. Again, not sure. Maybe other moms know better. 🙂
Hi Po Last Year Nagwork Ako January 2016 to Sept.2016 tapos Halos 6 months wala akong Wok Then Ngwork ako Ulit June 2017 Then Ngayong Oct.2017 Nakunan ako makaka avail ba ako ng MAt. Pay kahit Ilang Buwan Ng stop Hulog Sa SSS Then Continue Ng New Employer ko ngayon.
11/3/17, 2:17 PM
hello po makaka avail po ba ako ng Maternity Pay kung noon ng work ako from may2016-september2016 tapos ng stop na ako ng work then ngayon ngwork ako may2017 nag start payment ko continui from my new employer then ngayong October 2017 nakunan ako. Ask ko lang makaka Avail ba ako sa SSS ng Maternity Pay.
Hi po ask ko lang kung may gagastusin po ba pag nag file ako ng sss maternity notification at ung pag aasikaso para po makapag avail. 1st time ko po at wala po talaga akong idea. Thankyou
Hi mommy! I didn’t pay for anything when I filed before. 🙂
bago lang din po kasi ako sa sss at philhealth last year 2017 bali 3 months lng nabayaran and september po ang last payment if ever mababayaran ko pa po ba ung previous month october to december? hindi p po kasi ako makapunta sa mismong sss and philhealth dhil short sa mone. may idea po ba kayo? huhu thankyou po
Hi, Here’s what I found on the SSS website again.
“For example, let us say that an SSS member gives birth in December 2013.
– The semester of contingency would be from July 2013 to December 2013.
– The 12-month period before the semester of contingency would be from July 2012 to June 2013.
So if you have 3 monthly contribution from before the semester of contingency, you should be able to get your benefit.
Hi mommy ask ko lang po Im on my 5th pregnancy but I never claim sss or philhealth claim during my previous pregnancies… makakakuha pa kaya ako ng benefits ngaun?
Hi mommy! I’m really not sure. I think sa birth certificate nakaindicate pangilan na ung current pregnancy mo. They may check that and see that you’re on your 5th pregnancy already. We had another mommy ask the same question before. I hope she’s still following this thread to update us how it went for her.
Hi po?pagkapanganak ko po ba ng july saka ko lang makukuha ung benefits ng philhealth ko at SSS?at saan ko po isusubmit para makuha ko ung benefits ko?salamat po
Hi mommy! Basta maayos contributions mo and you were able to submit the forms on time, you’ll be able to get your benefits. Visit any SSS branch to file the requirements.
