Oo talaga, mommy, ang tagal-tagal ng SSS processing, a few of us nag-undergo din ng ganitong process at minsan 2-3 months bago ma-update! Pwede mo i-follow up in person sa SSS office or call them directly, sometimes makakasabay mo, at tell them about your MatB situation para ma-prioritize nila, lalo na malapit na ang December. One of my friends was able to push through her MatB application using her old status while waiting for the new one to reflect, so check with SSS kung pwede mong i-submit na using your current records while your voluntary status is being processed, baka may workaround sila! Sending you baby dust and fingers crossed ma-approve agad!
