How to Compute the SSS Maternity Benefit

Updated Step by Step Guide on how to apply for SSS Salary Loan Online

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you have successfully submitted your Maternity notification to SSS, the next question you probably have in mind is how much maternity benefit would you get. Prior to computing the amount of benefit, determine first the date range when the 12 month petiod would fall based on your expected date of delivery.


Let us say that you are expected to give birth in December 2014, exclude the semester of contingency from July 2014 to December 2014. Count 12 months backward. The 12 month period would be from July 2013 to June 2014.  These are the important dates that you need to have at least three months contribution to qualify for maternity benefit. Get your six highest monthly salary credit within that period,

Scenario 1
If you pay premium payments from January to June 2014 that corresponds to the  16,000 salary credit (that means you are paying the maximum monthly contribution as voluntary member (based on the 2014 schedule) with 1,760.00 monthly), the computation of your maternity benefit would be as follows:

  1. Add the six highest monthly salary credits to get the total monthly salary credit.
    16,000 x 6 months = 96,000
  2. Divide the total monthly salary credit by 180 days to get the average daily salary credit. This is equivalent to the daily maternity allowance.
    96,000 / 180 days = 533.33
  3. Multiply the daily maternity allowance by 60 (for normal delivery or miscarriage) or 78 days (for caesarean section delivery) to get the total amount of maternity benefit.

    533.33 x 60 days = P 32,000 for normal delivery
    533.33 x 78 days = P 41,600 for caesarean delivery
Scenario 2

If you pay premium payments from July 2013 to December 2013 that corresponds to the  15,000 salary credit (that means you are paying the maximum monthly contribution as voluntary member (based on the 2013 schedule), afterwhich you only pay 550.00 monthly contribution from January to June 2014 which is lower than your previous payments, the computation of your maternity benefit would be as follows:



  1. Add the six highest monthly salary credits to get the total monthly salary credit.
    15,000 x 6 months = 90,000
  2. Divide the total monthly salary credit by 180 days to get the average daily salary credit. This is equivalent to the daily maternity allowance.
    90,000 / 180 days = 500
Multiply the daily maternity allowance by 60 (for normal delivery or miscarriage) or 78 days (for caesarean section delivery) to get the total amount of maternity benefit.

500 x 60 days = 30,000 mat benefit for normal delivery
500 x 78 days = 39,000 mat benefit for caesarean delivery

Scenario 3

You missed premium payments from July 2013 to December 2013 but you have payments from January to June 2014 with corresponding salary credit amounting to 5,000 (or you paid 550 monthly) your computation would be:
5,000 x 6 months = 30,000
30,000 / 180 days = 166.66 daily mat benefit
166.66 x 60 days = P 10,000 mat benefit for normal delivery
166.66 x 78 days = P 13,000 mat benefit for caesarean delivery

Scenario 4
You have premium payments from July 2013 to September 2013 with 5,000 salary credit (that means you have paid 520.00 monthly contribution). Then for some reason you failed to pay for the succeeding months. As the requirement requires you

to have at least three months contribution within the twelve month period preceding your semester of contingency, you still qualify for the benefit however you will only get this amount
5,000 X 3 months = 15,000
15,000 / 180 days = 83.33 daily maternity benefit
83.33 X 60 days = P 5,000 maternity benefit for normal delivery
83.33 X 78 days = P 6,500 maternity benefit for normal delivery


There you go...keep in mind, the higher your monthly contribution payment, the higher maternity benefit you will get.

    1. Hi madeline,
      the maternity benefit is based on your salary credit, the number of applicable months and type of delivery. Whether you will be delivering twins, it does not mean that you will get twice benefit. it will only differ if you will be caesarean or normal delivery.

    1. Please be reminded that there are two forms that you need to submit to sss. The MAT1 is the maternity notification that you need to submit to your employer, if employed and directly to sss if voluntary or self employed immediately once you have learned of your pregnancy, prior to your due date. The Mat2 form is the one that you will submit after giving birth together with supporting document. Failure to submit your MAT1 will result to denial of maternity claim. You need to strictly follow the requirements for submission to avoid problems

    1. I don't think you will qualify for it since you need to have at least three months contribution within the 12 month period excluding the semester of contingency. In your case you need to have at least 3 months contribution from july 2012 to june 2013. But since 1 month lang ang may hulog sa iyo, hindi ka qualified sa maternity benefit.

    1. Let me clarify na ang maternity benefit ay para lang po sa mga babaeng miyembro ng SSS. Kung nagkataon lang na panlalaki ang name nyo pero babae naman kayo narrito po ang sagit sa inyong tanong: minimum of 3 months contribution within the 12 month period ang nasasaad sa guidelines samakatwid hindi naman kailangan na magkakasunod na buwan.

    1. Hindi dapat ikaltas ng employer mo ang maternity benefit mo. Dapat pa nga na swelduhan ka sa araw na ipapasok mo lalo at yun dapat na araw na pahinga mo ay ilalaan mo sa trabaho.

  12. Hi. May 7 2014 po ang expected delivery date ko. Tapos yung first contribution ko was last november 2012. Then nahinto siya October 2013. Yung mga malalaking contributions ko is atleast 1,560.00.

    1. Ang semester of contingency mo ay jan to jun 2014. ang 12 month period na dapat may 3 months contribution ka will fall from january to dec 2013. Lumalabas na entitled ka sa maternity benefit provided you have submitted your maternity notification to SSS. Magsubmit ka na ng maternuty nitification mo bago ka manganak.

    1. Tandaan nyo po na ang requirement na sinasaad sa guidelines...at least three months contribution within the 12 month period prior to semester of contingency. So kahit may hulog po kayo years ago at nahinto bago yun prescribed period na required, wala po kayo benefit na makukuha. Pero kung nakapaghulog kayo na sa case nyo june 2013 to may 2014 ang dapat may hulog ka at least three months, may pag asa na magqualify ka sa mat benefit provided na ipasa mo ang mat1 mo.

    ReplyDelete
  20. You can only avail of the maternity benefit if you satisfy the requirements like the required contribution. Sa case mo na 8 weeks pregnant ka, you should already file the MAT1 with supporting document that will prove of your pregnancy. Since you will go through an operation due to miscarriage, you submit the MAT2 together with your medical/obstetrical records after the operation to claim your maternity benefit.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hi dear 8 months pregnant, i am very sorry to tell you that it is very late for you para makahabol sa required contribution. :( kung nasa first trimester pa lang sana ang pagbubuntis mo ay malaki ang pag asa na makahabol ka. Anyway, hindi ka man makahabol sa maternity benefit ngayon, I suggest na at this time magstart ka pa rin maghulog na dahil malaking bagay ito at maganda ang benepisyo ng may SSS lalo at magkakaanak ka na.

    2. Para magqualify ka sa mat benefit. Tsaka mo ipapasa ang mat2 sa employer mo pagkapanganak mo para naman mabawi nila ang inabonohang sss mat claim mo. File your mat1 to your employer immediately. Or directly to sss ig you are voluntary or self employed.

    1. Ang mahalaga mo maisama sa mat2 ay ang Mat1 mo na stamped received by SSS. Since meron ka dapat birth certificate na nakaattach sa Mat2, yun ang mahalaga at sufficient proof na nanganak ka talaga at nararapat sa mat claim.

    1. Hi, if naiadvance na sa yo ng employer mo ang mat benefit nararapat lamang na ang dating company mo ang magclaim nito on your behalf. If hindi ka naman nabigyan ng maternity benefit ng dati mo employer maari mo itong maclaim ngunit posibleng hingan ka ng clearance o proof ng SSS na hindi ka nabayaran ng dati mo employer.

  36. Hi marjz,
    Thanks for dropping by... Sayang naman ang maternity benefit na nakuha mo sana noon. You could have qualified for it kung naipasa mo sana ang MAT1 form mo before ka nanganak. July to December 2011 kasi papatak ang semester of contingency mo, kung nakapaghulog ka ng january to june 2011 at nakapasa ka ng mat1, qualified ka sana to avail the mat claim. Pero kung hindi mo naipasa ang mat1 mo, posibleng madeny lang ang claim mo.

    1. Ang requirement is to notify SSS by submitting your MAT1. Since nakasubmit ka naman, there is no reason for you to worry as long as it was confirmed accepted by SSS.

    1. May mga sss branch na mabagal lang talaga magprocess. Have you tried the forgot password sa my.sss? It works to regain access to your account.

      Delete
    2. Once na naaccept na ng Sss branch ang claim mo at wala naman sinabing kulang during submission, you do not need to worry. Yun din ang form na akala ko dati ay kailangan pero hindi naman ako hinanapan ng ganun at narelease naman ang check ko. Matagal lang talaga magprocess ang branch. You can email them or you can use the text sss to know the status of your claim.

    1. Ang semester of contingency would be april to sep 2014. You need to have payments from april 2013 to mar 2014.qualified ka as to required contribution. Kung the same amount ang 6400 salary credit mo in six months that would be 6400x6/180x60 =12800

  62. Hello, if august ang due date mo ang semester of contingency is april to sept. ang 12 month period na dapat may hulog ka at least 3 months is from april 2013 to march 2014. You are qualified for the mat benefit just make sure that you have submitted your mat1 through your employer if employed ka or directly to sss or online if voluntary, self employed or ofw member ka.

  65. Your semester of contingency w/c is excluded in computation is April to Sept 2014. Based on your given figures the highest salary credit considered are 10000 + 8500 + 13500 + 11500 + 15000 + 10500 = 69,000 divide by 180 = 383.33 multiply by 60 to get 22,999.80 as your estimated mat benefit. SSS still has the final say on how much you would get esp if you have arrears in your loans but more or less that is how you should compute your mat claim.

    1. If employed ka sa company dapat na iadvance ito sa iyo ng company mo provided you have submitted the mat1. Otherwise you need to visit an sss office and file your claim personally.

  74. Qualified ka if meron ka contribution from january to december 2014. Kung 275 ang hinulog mo, hindi mo sinunod ang bagong contribution schedule. I have a related post on that. Anyway papatak na nasa 3500 ang salary credit mo. You will get an estimated amount of 7000 as mat benefit.

  80. Hi sherry, if september due date mo exclude mo yun payments from april to september 2014. You need to have at least three months contributions to qualify from april 2013 to march 2014. Ang computation ng mat benefit ay depende s salary credit mo. Yung 12 month period ang basis ng computation ng mat benefit.

  83. Good AM, my daughter had been 8 weeks pregnant and her ultrasound result showed a blighted ovum. Consequently her OB advised her to have a D&C right away. She's unemployed right now and is already 22 yrs old so she's no longer my hmo dependent. She used to work with CBTL but she left there since 2012. Her recent employment was being a property consultant so she didnt have a fixed salary. But her work in CBTL deducted SSS contributions for her. Can I claim for SSS Maternity benefit? We didnt ahve achane to notify SSS right away since after the ultrasound she was instructed to be admitted to the hospital right away. How many contributions is required. Kindly help me on this. Many thanks

    ReplyDelete
  84. Hi there, the answer depends on whether your daughter qualifies for the mat benefit as regards the required contribution. If she is admitted in the hospital this July, the semester of contingency would fall from april to september 2014. That means she should have at least three months contribution within the 12 month period from April 2013 to march 2014 whether as employed or voluntary member.

    ReplyDelete
  85. To the one who filed her maternity through her employer the check should be released prior to your due date. Your employer should advance to you the mat benefit. You now have an idea how to compute your mat benefit so expect to receive such amount from your employer.

  93. Hi Concepcion,
    If you have contribution since june to december, qualified ka for mat benefit. Just make sure you have notified SSS by submitting mat1 prior to your due date. I suggest magsubmit ka na online ng mat1 kung di ka pa nakakasubmit. With 5,000 salary credit at nameet mo ang max six months contribution, nasa 10,000 ang posibleng makuha mo kung wala kang utang sa sss na di mo nabayaran.

  118. Hi mam, ask ko lang, pano kung hindi iadvance ng company ko ang sss benefit ko? anong complaint pwede kong gawin? or may penalty ba ang company? due po ako on dec2014

    1. Your company should advance to you the mat benefitat kung di nila gagawin yun ay may violation sila sa sss. Bukod sa babayaran pa rin nila ang kaukulang benefit mo ay may penalty pa sila sa sss. Dobleng abala para sa kanila. Kung aabonohan nila ang mat benefit mo ay makukuha rin naman nila ang halagang iyon sa sss. Coordinate with your HR dept and they should know the consequences if hindi sila sumunod sa sss law.

    1. Naku julie, you should have come across our site earlier. Sad to tell you if dec ang due mo you need to have at least 3 months contribution from july 2013 to june 2014. Pero kung wala kang hulog sa mga buwan na nabanggit ay mededeny lang ang claim mo kahit may previous ka na hulog. Dapat kasi updated ang contribution mo within the prescribed period.

  123. Good day,
    Hi ask ko lang po kasi since 2009 member po ako ng sss. Last year d po ako nkahulog since july 2013 until dec 2013. This january 2014 until now naghuhulog po ako ng 440. Nanganak ako this august 7 2014. Nagfile na po ako ng maternity requirments and claim nalang po hinhintay ko. Tama po ba na 18,400 makukuha ko kasi cesarian po ako. And nextweek pinpabalik po ako to clarify ng birth certificate ng baby ko. Iniisip ko kasi yung middle name ko mag isang mali na letter. Sa birth certificate ng baby ko nakalagay dun yung tamang middle name ko hnd sinundan yung sa birth certificate ko. Posible po bang magka problem po dun?

    Thank you ang Godbless po.

  126. Hello po!

    About dun sa mga scenarios ask ko po sana if ung 6 months ba na yun ay kelangan po consecutive na high ung contribution mo or okay lang po ba na laktaw laktaw?

    For example po nag bayad ako ng 1760 this month and next month is 275 but 6 months completed parin ung 1760 na pay ko.. Okay lang po ba iyon?

    May pinag kaiba po ba sa computation pag ung ibang months ay hindi 550 ang contribution like scenario number 2?
    Like for 6 months po ay 1760 at iyong ibang months naman po is 275?

    Thanks po

  131. Hi! Questions. :)

    I just submitted all my requirements for MAT2. How long should I wait to get the benefit? And I got 30k before giving birth (c-section), does that mean 9k makukuha ko for MAT2? Ganun ba yun? I saw a blog kasi. She said she got 30k din before giving birth, cs din, and then 39k daw after? Medyo naconfuse ako. :(

    ReplyDelete
  132. I suppose employed ang status mo kaya you got 30k in advance from your employer. Depende sa conditions like yun salary credit mo at yun credited months. If maximum salary credit mo at kumpletong six months ang nahulog mo sa prescribed period, you should be getting 41600 for caesarean delivery.so expect to get additional 11,600 if ever.

  133. hi i'm joms, due ko po on May 2014 , ang huling hulog ko ng SSS ay nung 2012 pa balak ko po ulit syang hulugan this october for the period of JULY-SEPT. as quarterly payment. If itutuloy tuloy ko po yung hulog ko more or less magkano po kaya ang makukuha kong maternity benifit? iniisip ko po kasi kung mag huhulog ako ng contribution or iipunin ko na lang yung pang contribution ko. salamat po.

  136. Hi the SSS online stills says that the salary credits ceiling is only 15000 pls see link
    how do I compute it now?

    ReplyDelete
  137. Hi thess, para sa kaalaman ng HR nyo, heto po ang nakasulat sa batas: Maternity leave is an additional leave given to a female employee who has given birth or has suffered miscarriage. According to Section 14-A of Republic Act No. 8282 otherwise known as the Social Security Act of 1997, "a female member who has paid at least three (3) monthly contributions in the twelve-month period immediately preceding the semester of her childbirth or MISCARRIGE shall be paid a daily maternity leave benefit equivalent to one hundred percent (100%) of her average daily salary credit for sixty (60) days or seventy eight (78) days in case of caesarian delivery...".

    ReplyDelete
  138. So hindi po ang OBGYNE ang magsasabi kung ilang days ka entitled sa maternity benefit, dahil malinaw naman ang nakalagay sa SSS Law.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Hi nhoemi, since january 2014, the ceiling for salary credit has been increased from 15,000 to 16,000. The salary credit is the basis for computing sss benefits.

    ReplyDelete
  140. But an individual benefit computation will depend on the monthly contribution that corresponds to that salary credit. Example, you are paying only 550/ month that corresponds to 5000 salary credit. So even if nagincrease ang ceiling pero hindi ka naman abot dun, walang epekto ang increase sa computation ng benefit mo.
