Maternity benefits

Question

Mommies correct me po. Sa pagkaka intindi ko. Hanggang march ako maghuhulog para maka claim ng Maternity Benefits? September po EDD ko. Aug. 2020 to February 2022 may hulog ni company sss ko pero nag resign na po ako. This march wala pa po akong hulog. Plan ko tomorrow mag hulog as volunteer pasok pa po ba yun? Salamat po.#advicepls #pregnancy #pleasehelp #worryingmom

Ay mama, Im not 100% sure about the exact cutoff kaya better to call SSS directly po, theyre really helpful on the phone at hindi hassle yung tanong about maternity benefits, lalo na kung concerned ka about timing! But from what I know, usually kailangan mo ng contributions within a certain period before your claim, so mas mapabuti na you confirm with them directly kung pasok yung voluntary contribution mo ngayong March para sa September birth mo. One of my officemates dati had similar situation at talagang nag-call lang siya sa SSS, napaclaro agad lahat, good luck po, expecting moms need peace of mind!
