Ah alam ko yan, sobrang confusing ng SSS benefits talaga! Based sa experience ng kaibigan ko, kailangan mo munang mag-contribute for at least 3 months bago ka eligible for maternity benefits, pero since you resigned last August and walang ongoing contributions, baka need mo munang mag-voluntary contributions muna sa SSS to rebuild your record, best call their hotline or visit an SSS branch near you para ma-clarify exactly kung saan ka ngayon sa contribution history, kasi baka may way pa rin depending kung gaano katagal ka nag-contribute dati.
