Questions
How is the SSS maternity benefit computed?
Take the 12 months before the semester of delivery, add the 6 highest monthly salary credits, divide by 180 — that is the daily allowance — and multiply by 105 days (120 for solo parents, 60 for miscarriage or ETP).
What is the maximum?
On an MSC of ₱20,000: 6 × ₱20,000 ÷ 180 × 105 = ₱70,000 for a live childbirth (SSS counts contributions up to ₱20,000 MSC).
When does my employer have to pay?
The employer advances the full benefit within 30 days from the filing of your maternity leave application; SSS reimburses the employer.
