Hi! Based sa SSS rules, kailangan mo ng continuous contributions para ma-claim ang maternity benefit, if you stop paying this October, hindi ka na qualified for future claims kasi makikita nila na may gap sa contributions. Better mag-follow up ka directly sa SSS or their hotline para ma-confirm ang exact cutoff at kung may way to process claims before October, kasi ang bawat case ay slightly different depending on your contribution history!
