Submit and let the SSS get all the requirements and simply wait for your cheque to be delivered to your home. Submission is easy, just compile and meet the following requirements and submit it to the nearest SSS office. Whether for Philhealth or SSS, maternity allowance is a great help for any mother. Just make sure you have all the requirements and the right number of positions to enjoy the benefits. In hopes of helping pregnant women like me, I have listed the requirements to apply for your maternity benefit. Please note that this is my own list, so if something goes wrong, please contact the relevant offices for further questions. I have also created a checklist of all the documents (combined into a folder with a label for each file) that I will bring with my hospital bag. I will also guide my sister and husband about these documents, just to make sure everything is in place. If you do not notify your employer or the SSS, your application for maternity benefit may be rejected. Employers are required to provide maternity benefits to qualified employees in advance within 30 days of the employee`s maternity leave. SSS reimburses the employer 100% of the specified amount. Applications for maternity benefits are submitted in person at each HSS branch. Although you can submit it to the nearest branch, it will be processed and refunded by the branch where you are registered.
2b. For the unemployed, self-employed and voluntary members: Inform the SSS directly. Your employer must fully advance your maternity benefit within 30 days of the date you applied for maternity leave. Your employer can then request reimbursement of the advance by completing a copy of Form SSS MAT-2 (Application for Maternity Benefits) and submitting it to the SSS branch where their records are active. A properly stamped copy of Form MAT-1 must also be provided. Points 7 and 8 should be created in advance as they serve as a cheat sheet to ensure there are no typos, especially for the birth certificate, as we know this can be a real effort to eventually fix this in NSO. Also, I don`t think I`ll be healthy enough and suffer if the nurses ask me about my medical history. 2) The employer must submit the MAT-2 form to the nearest SSS branch Maternity allowance is only available to female members of the SSS who meet the following membership requirements: There are two separate procedures for completing the application for maternity benefit: the notification procedure and the application procedure.
All the things and effort involved in compiling the required documents, I think it is worth it. Thinking about the amount you will receive and the deduction on your hospital bill is a big help, especially when your new baby arrives, which we all know can be very expensive. 1. Complete the SSS Maternity Notification Form and submit it with your proof of pregnancy to your employer or directly to SSS. See page 2 of Form MAT-2 for a list of supporting documents that must be submitted with the form. Finish and count my documents with 31 weeks. Lord, please give me a normal birth and a healthy boy 🙂 The amount of the benefit will be paid directly to them by the SSS via their bank account. First, once you (an HSS member) become pregnant, you must immediately notify your employer if you are employed, or HSS if you are self-employed, at least 60 days after the date of conception of this pregnancy. If the member employee experiences a birth or miscarriage without the required contributions being paid by the employer, or if the employer fails to notify the HSS, the employer is required to pay the HSS allowance corresponding to the benefits to which the employee would otherwise have been entitled. The amount of the participant`s daily maternity allowance is equal to the average daily wage credit (CDA). The amount of maternity benefit is equal to 100 per cent of the participant`s average daily earnings, multiplied by 60 days for normal delivery or miscarriage, 78 days for caesarean section. Semester – refers to two consecutive trimesters ending in the sickness trimester.
