Ah ate, I'm so sorry you went through that, napakahirap talaga ng experience na yan. Honestly, ang SSS maternity benefits ay super specific with the Qualifying Months requirement, kaya better talaga na makipag-ugnayan mo directly sa SSS mismo para sure, pwede kang pumunta sa branch or tawagan sila, baka may special consideration pa sila o documents na kailangan mo i-submit para sa situation mo na yan. Rooting for you, at sana may paraan pa!
