SSS MATERNITY BENEFIT – Here is a guide on how much a pregnant member of the Social Security System may avail under the maternity benefit.
In the Philippines, if you are employed in a private company or have your own business, you may apply for SSS membership for an insurance. The SSS or Social Security System is a state-run insurance institution which offers a lot to its members.
Among the SSS member benefits are sickness, retirement, death, and funeral benefits. The SSS retirement benefit is undeniably one that all members are looking forward to.
In the case of the female members of the social insurance institution, there is another perk – the SSS maternity benefit. They can obtain a cash assistance on the period of pregnancy or giving birth.
Based on the official website of the Social Security System, the maternity benefit is open for pregnant members who have contributed at least three(3) monthly contributions in the last 12 months.
Also, it is important that the employer or the SSS knows that the said member is pregnant and as well as the due date.
With regards to how much a pregnant member may receive under the SSS maternity benefit, it will be the equivalent of the 100% average daily salary credit (ADSC) of the member multiplied to either of the following:
- 60 days for members who gave birth through normal delivery
- 78 days for members who gave birth through the caesarean section or those who have ectopic pregnany
