Updated July 27, 2023
The law which expanded SSS Maternity Benefits — the 105-Day Expanded Maternity Leave Law — became effective on March 11, 2019.
This means that all eligible women SSS members who gave birth or miscarried on March 11, 2019 or after can avail of all the benefits offered under the law.
You are Eligible or Qualified for the SSS Maternity Benefit if you have paid at least 3 monthly contributions within the 12-month period prior to your semester of contingency (delivery of child or miscarriage or termination of pregnancy).
What Are the Improvements under the Expanded Maternity Leave Law?
Increase in Number of Days
- 105 days of paid leave for a married woman who gives birth
- 120 days of paid leave for a single or unmarried woman who gives birth
- 60 days of paid leave for a married or single woman who undergoes miscarriage or emergency termination of pregnancy
- Additional 30 days of unpaid leave is offered as an option if you like to extend your maternity leave
- Up to 7 days of paid leave (taken from your 105 or 120 days) can be allocated to the father of your child, whether you’re married to him or not, so he can help you care for your baby.
In case the father is not available, a relative within the 4th degree of consanguinity or the current partner sharing the same household with the mother can be chosen as alternate caregiver.
The same number of days for Normal Delivery and Cesarean Section
105 days for a married mother, 120 days for a single mother, whether normal or CS delivery
No More Limits
. You can enjoy maternity leave for all your pregnancies or miscarriages
. Hindi na lang for 4 pregnancies na kagaya ng dati. UNLI na!
Your employed partner can now enjoy up to 7 days of paid leave, whether you’re married to him or not.
. The 7 days will be deducted from your allocation of 105 or 120 days. Prior notifications to both your employers are required.
. If you’re married to your partner, this 7-day allocation is in addition to the 7 days of paid leave granted under the Paternity Leave Act of 1996. Magiging 14 days ang total of paid leaves. Itong Paternity Leave law ay for married men lang and for the first 4 pregnancies or miscarriages lang.
What Happens if Your SSS Maternity Benefit is Lower than Your Actual Salary?
If your salary is much higher than average, you might have realized that what you get from SSS as your maternity benefit for 105 days or 120 days is lower than your actual salary for 105 days or 120 days. Mabuti napansin ito noong ginawa nila ang Expanded law.
Private-sector Employers Will Pay the Difference
If you work in the private sector, your employer should pay the difference between the total amount you receive from the SSS (for 105 days or 120 days) and your full salary (for the same 105 or 120 days).
Full pay means actual remuneration or earnings paid by your employer for services rendered on normal working days and hours, including allowances provided for under company policy or collective bargaining agreement.
Halimbawa, 30k pesos a month ang sahod mo. Ang total sahod mo for 105 days ay 105k pesos. Kung married ka, ang SSS maternity benefit mo for 105 days ay 70k pesos.
Ang mangyayari, compared sa sahod mo, mawawalan ka ng 35k pesos. Para mabawi yang 35k na kulang, according to the Expanded Law, dapat ibigay ng Employer mo yang 35k pesos sa iyo.
Pero bago ibigay sa iyo ang 35k, babawasin muna ang mga SSS, Philhealth and Pag-ibig contributions mo for 3.5 months (105 days). Puedeng 7,175 pesos ang total deduction. Ang differential na ibibigay sa iyo ay 27,825.
Sabi ng ibang employers, hindi nila kakayaning ibigay ang differential.
Okay, sabi naman ng batas. There are companies or employers exempted from paying the differential. A company is exempted from paying the differential if the company is distressed, your company employs only 10 workers or less, your company’s total assets are not more than 3 million pesos, or your company is already giving maternity benefits similar or better than this Expanded Maternity Leave Law.
See here DOLE’s Guidelines on Computing Maternity Benefit Differential
Public-Sector Employees Will Receive Full Pay During Their Maternity Leave
Your full pay during your maternity leave will be paid to you by your employer (government agency). You have the option to receive it either in lump sum or through regular payrolls.
Public-School Teachers Can Enjoy Maternity Leave Even During Long Vacations
You can avail of this benefit in full even if you give birth during summer or Christmas vacations. You’ll get both your maternity leave pay and your proportional vacation pay (PVP).
Maternity leave can not be used in advance or deferred to some other dates in the future
. You must use your leave around your date of delivery or miscarriage, without interruption or gap.
. You can use your leave for a number of days immediately before giving birth and after giving birth. You are required to spend at least 60 days of your leave after giving birth.
. This means married mothers can spend only up to 44 days prior to childbirth (one day for delivery and 60 for post-delivery)
and single mothers can spend only up to 59 days prior to childbirth (one day for delivery and 60 for post-delivery).
Notification requirement for extension of leave
If you like to extend your leave, submit a written notice to your employer, or head of your government agency at least 45 days before the end of your maternity leave, except in a medical emergency, in which case, you can notify after your emergency.
Rules Retained from the old SSS Maternity Benefit law
No Discrimination related to your Civil Status
Whether you’re married or unmarried to the father of your child, you can avail of the leave benefit.
All pregnant members of SSS and GSIS can enjoy the benefit
Whether you are Employed, Self-Employed, Voluntary, Non-working Wife or OFW, you can avail of this benefit, as long as you have paid at least 3 monthly contributions within the 12-month period BEFORE your semester of childbirth or miscarriage.
Required Number of SSS Contributions
You should have contributed at least 3 monthly contributions within the past 12 months PRIOR to your semester of childbirth or miscarriage.
Notification of pregnancy
Notify your employer about your pregnancy and expected date of delivery. You also notify them if you’re going to give paid-leave allocations (from your 105 days or 120 days) to your employed partner or relative.
The SSS have these forms: Maternity Notification form and Allocation of Maternity Leave Credits form. You file these forms with your employer (they can forward these to SSS or they can file it through their online SSS account).
Basis of computation of SSS maternity benefit amount
Amount of benefit is based on your salary credits.
Steps:
- Identify the 12 months prior to your semester of contingency.
- Look at your salary credits for these 12 months.
- Find the 6 highest salary credits.
- Add these 6 salary credits.
- Divide by 180 days. Bakit 180? Kasi 6 months x 30 days (para makuha ang average)
- Ang result ang maging Average Daily Salary Credit mo.
- Now, multiply itong Average x 105 days or 120 days
- Yan ang SSS Maternity Benefit mo
Your Employer Will Advance Your Benefit
Your employer should advance your full benefit within 30 days of your filing of your maternity leave.
How to File Online Your Claim for SSS Maternity Benefit
Make sure you have clear scans of your documents. Gawing mong colored scan yong mga documents na merong kulay, kagaya ng Birth Certificate. Para mas complete ang instructions, basahin mo itong bagong SSS Circular, issued June 2023: Guidelines on Documents Required for Claiming your SSS Maternity Benefits online.
Can you file for both SSS maternity benefit and sickness benefit for the same child delivery, miscarriage or emergency termination of pregnancy?
No. Isang benefit lang dapat. Maternity benefit lang.
Social Security Act of 1997 RA 8282
SEC. 14-A. Maternity Leave Benefit
(c) That payment of daily maternity benefits shall be a bar to the recovery of sickness benefits provided by this Act for the same period for which daily maternity benefits have been receivedRA 11210 effective 2019
(3) That payment of daily maternity benefits shall be a bar to the recovery of sickness benefits provided under Republic Act No. 1161, as amended, for the same period for which daily maternity benefits have been received.
Not Considered for Maternity Benefit <<– SSS contributions paid during semester of contingency
Kapag hindi ka regular na nagbabayad ng SSS contributions, at gusto mong maghabol ng SSS maternity benefit, dapat sa time na na-feel mo na baka buntis ka na, magbayad ka na ng SSS contributions, para sure na makahabol ka. Ang contributions na nabayaran a few months before your child delivery ay hindi kino-consider ng SSS. Halimbawa, manganganak ka sa December, ang semester of contingency mo ay June to December. Ang mga binayaran mong contributions from June to December ay hindi na kasama sa computation ng SSS. Ang iko-consider nila ay yong mga binayaran mo within 12 months bago sa June na yan.
Meron kaming magandang explanation dito ng Semester of Contingency.

Hi ask ko lang po na nanganak ako nung August 2019, ang nahulugan ko lang Jan-Mar 2019 pero nabayaran ko nung May 2019. Nakapagfile nako ng notification at sabi sakin may makukuha po ako pero nung nagsubmit nako ng mga requirements after manganak, sabi nila late payment daw ako kaya wala ako nakuha. Wala po ba talaga ako makukuha?
for the solo parent, can she allocate the 7 days to the father?
Question po:
1. Nanganak po ako nung oct 2019 7 mos palang si baby- fetal death- ilang days po ang maavail na leave credits? Thank you
Hi grace, kung tatanggapin pa ng SSS ang bayad mo for Oct to Dec 2019, puede kang maka-claim. Dapat kasi nakabayad ka ng at least 3 months within the 12-month period prior to your semester of contingency (semester of giving birth). I hope nakapagtanong ka sa SSS noong January 2020 at nakabayad ka na.
Hi Anjz, dapat makuha mo pa, kasi payment ng maternity leave mo yon. Dapat ma-submit mo yong birth certificate from the local civil registrar asap, kasi yon ang required document. Check mo rin kung meron kayong rule na advance notice for resignation, para hindi ma-hold ang last salary mo.
hello po ask q lng makukuha q pa din ba ang maternity ko sa company kahit na resign nako sa work pagkatapos ng 105 days leave q? Balak ko po kc magresign pagkatapos ng leave q pra dretso na. iniadvance n po nil sakin ung kalhati.

Hi Sheryl, yes, puede ka pang mag-file, basta complete documents at meron kang at least 3 SSS contributions within the 12 months BEFORE your semester of panganganak in 2011. Ang benefit mo will be based on the old law.
Hi Jason, kung Jan siya manganganak, yes, makaka-avail siya. Kung Nov or Dec ang delivery, hindi ko sure kung ia-apply nila sa kanya yong rule about payments made within semester of delivery. Sana nagbayad siya in June or before June. Employed or self-employed ba siya bago siya naging voluntary member? Kung hindi, I suggest na you visit SSS and ask if meron siyang date of coverage, para ma-advice din kayo kung anong gagawin.
Ask ko lang po kung may maaavail pa po ang misis ko na maternity benefit.5mos pregnant po xa ngaun aug. Kaso binayaran lang nya yung contribution nya ng january to june noong july 2019…voluntary member po xa..salamat po
Ask lang po pd ko pa po bang claim ang maternity ko nung 2011 pa po ako nanganak…tnxs po
Helow po pa help nmn po…pd pa po kaya makakuha ng maternity loan kung 7yr old na ang bata?salamat po..
what po ba requirements ara sa reimbursement?
Hi Jho, sa Jan or Feb 2020 ka ba manganganak? Puede mo pang habulin. Kung never kang na-employ, pero meron kang pinagkakakitaan, like buy and sell, or real estate agent, mag-register ka as self-employed. Bring a barangay certificate or any proof of your source of income. Dapat ma-approve ng SSS ang self-employed application mo. Then magbayad ka asap ng for July August September.
Gud day! Maam pls help, tanong png po kng pde po ba akng mag avail ng maternity benefits? 3mos po akng buntis at eversince 2 hulog lng ang ss q.hndi kc aq ngtrabaho at hindi q na naasikaso.
Hello Jaylor
Nag take effect ang batas March 11, 2019
Kilan po nag take effect ung batas na ito? Hindi na po ba covered ung mga nanganak ng January 2019?
Hello po. Ask ko lang kung pano po yung processing ng allocated 7 days. Inallocate ko kasi sa father ng baby ko yung 7 days. Pano nya po yun magamit? May kailangan po bang supporting documents para don na ipapasa nya sa agency?
Hi Maria, oo sayang talaga, pero sorry walang ganun sa SSS, hindi sila tumatanggap ng late payments from individual payors. Kahit nga halimbawa OFW ka at tatanggapin pa ang bayad mo for Jan to June, hindi ka na rin qualified kasi ang date of payment ay within semester of childbirth. May rule din silang ganon. Magtanong pa rin sa iba para sure.
Ma’am wala po ba ang sss na parang sa Philhealth na Women about to give birth? Na pwede magbayad 1 year. Sayang po kasi manganaganak na ko sa august. Buong akala ko po kasi hanggang 4th pregnancy lang ang pwede magclaim.
Hi Maria, sorry, pero merong rule na at least 3 contributions within 12 months prior to semester of delivery. Kung Aug 2019 ang delivery, dapat meron kang at least 3 contributions within Apr 2018 to March 2019. Late na for payments. Magtanong din po sa iba.
Hi Ma’am pls help..pwede pa po ba akong humabol. 5th pregnancy ko na po. Manganganak po ako sa Aug 23 2019 via CS section. Wala po akong hulog sa Sss akala ko.po kasi ay hanggang 4th pregnancy lang. Pwede pa po ba ako maghulog this month para sa isang quarter?

Hi po i just want to know kung ipepending ba ng sss yung maternity pay mo if di mo nabayaran yng april and may na contributions mo. Nanganak ako feb.
Hi joan, unfortunately, naging effective ang Expanded Maternity Leave Law noong March 11, 2019 (based on SSS and Ms. Hontiveros’ announcement), so hindi pa kasali yong mga pregnancies/deliveries prior to March 11, 2019.

Hello Aimee
YES in the original draft law nakasaad na private sector employers shall pay differential pero meron 4 exceptions/exemptions to this rule. ALAMIN ANG EXCEPTIONS. (See Ms. Nora’s post)
Gudpm.
Ask lang po about this. Is this is true “Private-sector Employers Will Pay Differential
If you work in the private sector, your employer should pay the differential between the total amount you receive from the SSS and your average weekly salary or regular salary.”? thank you.
ilang days po ba or weeks bago mapublished sa news paper ang IRR/?

Nailathala po sa PhilStar May 3 issue “all working mothers who gave birth ON MARCH 11 OR AFTER are entitled to the full benefits of the Expanded maternity Leave Law” according to Sen. Risa Hontiveros, principal author and sponsor. This was CONFIRMED BY SSS Benefits Administrative Division Vice-President Normita Doctor.
CONGRATULATIONS SA MGA MAGTATAMASA NG KARAGDAGANG BENEPISYO!
Paalala lang na antay-antay muna ng 15 days AFTER PUBLICATION SA NEWSPAPER NG IRR para wala nang kawala.
Included po ba sa IRR tong binanggit nyo?
Private-sector Employers Will Pay Differential
If you work in the private sector, your employer should pay the differential between the total amount you receive from the SSS and your average weekly salary or regular salary.
Worried po kc ko na baka SSS reimbursement lang ibigay ni employer. Thanks.

Hello Jane
Sa pagkaalam ko HANGGANG 7 DAYS LANG Paternity Leave ma-avail ng ama ng bata. Babayaran ng kanyang employer ang pitong araw (based on daily rate) na hindi niya pinasok upang maasikaso/mapangalagaan ang kanyang bagong panganak na misis. Sa kumpanya ni mister inaapply yun. Mag-submit lang katibayan na nanganak si misis.
Hi Joan, ang alam ko wala pa yan sa atm, at idedeposit pa sa bank. Baka in two weeks to one month, based on comments online.
Hello Mira
105 days kapag TERM PREGNANCY and DELIVERY ibig sabihin nakumpleto pagbubuntis ng 9 months at nanganak. PAG NAKUNAN, ibig sabihin hindi umabot ng 9 months pagbubuntis 60 days lang ma-avail na paid leave
hi po gusto ko lang po itanong..pag na confirm na approved na ang sss met.ben ko at sa text po sabi check date on april 25 2019….nasa atm na po ba yan

Hello Hazel
Wala pa lumalabas na IRR tungkol sa bagong batas na ito. Dun kasi nakasaad yun. Antay-antay lang tayo para sa kasagutan
Hi po kapapanganak ko lang po this april 9 pasok po ba ako sa 105days leave salamat po.
Hello Aira,
Napansin ko ang tanong mo.
Para sigurado makabubuting antayin na lang natin lumabas ang IRR nitong bagong batas. Sa pagkakaalam ko kasi nasa provision nito na iaadvance muna ng employer ang benefits kapag nafile mo na ang iyong maternity leave. Pero kung OFFICIALLY RESIGNED KA NA FROM THE COMPANY WALA NA EMPLOYER NA MAG-ADVANCE.
Good Day po. Employed lang po ba makaka avail ng 105 days Maternity Benefits? Pano po sa case ko. Due ko sa May 25 at nagresigned na ko sa work effective April 24, 2019. Makakapag claim ba ako ng 105 days EML?

HELLO Danielle
Ang mai-advise ko lang sayo ay pumunta sa pinakamalapit na SSS servicing office. Ipaliwanag ng maigi ang iyong kaso at tanungin kung ano dapat gawin
Magandang tanghali po. Umaasa po ako na masagot nyo ang katanungan ko. Maraming salamat po
Good morning po sir jun/maam nora, nais ko lamang pong itanong kung hindi ko na po kailangan ng guardian dahil ako ay 19 na. Anu ano pi ang dapat kong gawin o ipasa sa sss para mag update, at tuluyan ng maipangalan sa akin?
Hello Oliver,
Yes sir, tama ka dyan. Popondohan ito ng SSS kaya nga simula April 1 ay iiral na ang pagtaas ng contribution rate ng bawat miyembro – from 11% to 12% AT 1% DAGDAG PA EVERY 2 YRS. HANGGANG 2025. layunin nito na pahabain muli ang fund life ng SSS na lubos na umikli nung ipairal yung pension increase nung 2017 kung hindi ako nagkakamali. Magkakaroon naman ng counterpart assistance na galing sa employers so hindi lahat babalikatin ng SSS. (SEE MS. NORA’S NOTES ON THIS FOR MORE INFO). Salamat sa info mo Oliver.
Hi, may idadagdag din ako. Bago nag bitiw yung dating pangulo ng SSS may sinabi siyang ang pinasang batas ay walang ka akibat na pondo at ang mag pupuno nito ay ang SSS, kaya may panibagong dagdag na mag lalarong 0.5% hanggang 0.6% na maaaring pasanin ng mga miyembro ng SSS, para mapondohan yung dagdag na maternity leave.
Hello Ros,
Subukan ko ipaliwanag sayo ayon sa aking pagkakaalam. Naintindihan ko naramdaman mo.
Unang-una, may mga PROSESONG DINARAANAN AT SINUSUNOD ang mga bagong batas bago ito ipatupad – HINDI KOMO PIRMADO NA NG PANGULO at epektibo na ay awtomatikong iiral na ito. Kahit gawa na ang isang batas MANGANGAILANGAN MUNA ITO NG IRR (Implementing Rules and Regulations). Sa IRR nakadetalye ang mekanismo kung paano ito ipatutupad. Isa-isa munang HINIHIMAY ang mga detalye at pinagdidiskusyon muna sa public hearing/forum/consultation. Kailangan muna mag-agree sa mga provision ang mga stakeholders.Meron FINE-TUNING NA GINAGAWA DITO sa hearing at MAAARING MAY MABAGO SA ILANG PROVISION kung hindi sasang-ayunan.
Pag nafinalize na ang IRR mangangailanganpa itong mapublish muna sa pahayagan ng GENERAL CIRCULATION para sa kabatiran ng nakararami. Pag napublish na MAY WAITING PERIOD NA KAILANGANG LUMIPAS (kadalasan 15 days).
Dun pa lang magsimulang umiral ang batas Ros.
Huwag mag-alala Ros. Malamang lalabas na ito in a few days bago ka manganak nitong May. Antay-antay lang. GOOD LUCK SA IYONG PANGANGANAK !
Hi po. Ask ko po if pwede na ako mag file ng 105 days para sa maternity leave?due na po kasi ako sa May 22, 2019. Sabi kasi ng HR namin di pa raw s’ya effective dahil wala pa daw ‘yong IRR. Ganun po ba yon? kahit batas na sya aantayin pa po yong IRR para matamasa natin? Sayang naman kung di ko maabutan yan nakapanganak na ako’t lahat wala pa ring IRR. Parang napa ka unfair naman po yata nun sa amin. Sana po mapaliwanagan nyo po ako dito nalungkot at nanghinayang lang ako sa sinabi ng HR namin sa akin.
Hi jane, alamin mo ang Philhealth number mo then mag-register ka sa philhealth. Click “Register”. Pag registered ka na, login ka uli para makita mo kung anong months ang nabayaran. Merong program na Women about to give birth (WAGB), kung hindi nabayaran ang Philhealth mo. Magtanong ka sa hospital o clinic ng about WAGB kung saan ka manganganak kung paano at kung magkano ang babayaran.
Hi jane, sorry, hindi. Dapat SSS member ang pregnant woman para makakuha ng maternity benefit.
pano po ba malaman f pwede magamit ang philhealth ko sa panganganak kung di ko po alam f may hukog o wala under po kc ako ng government sponsor since last year (may 2018) eh si ba election po ngayon? ngangamba po ako na baka wala hulog tapos di ko magamit sa panganganak ko sa july ang akung philhealth.
ask lang po covered ba sa sss maternity ang dependent lang?
GOOD PM PO, TANONG KO LANG KONG POSSIBLE BA MKA AVAIL AKO SA 105 DAYS MATERNITY LEAVE. NOV. PO AKO NG SUBMIT NG MATERNITY APPLICATION BY FIRST WEEK OF APRIL PO ANG DUE DATE KO. MKA AVAIL BA AKO SA 105 DAYS.
Hi princess, aantayin natin ang Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) na ilalabas ng DOLE baka next month or the following month, doon natin makikita kung anong date talaga mag-start ang implementation ng 105-day leave. Pero effective na ang law, so malamang covered ka na.
good evening po , tanong ko lang po kung pasok n po ba ako sa 105days maternity benifits, feb 2019 po ako nag file ng mat1 duedate ko po is august,2019 .. sabi dw po kase ng company nmin d p dw po na iimplement samin kaya d pdw po ako pasok sa 105 days slaamt po .
As posted in the March 20 issue of PhilStar, SSS officials have announced that the New Contribution Rate of SSS will be implemented BEGINNING SECOND QUARTER OF 2019, that is, APRIL 1, 2019 -from 11% to 12% of monthly salary credit.
Likewise, the MINIMUM MSC of 1K will be adjusted to 2K. MAXIMUM MSC of 16K will be adjusted to 20K, with MORE ADJUSTMENTS TO COME in the coming years until the law’s full implementation on 2025. POSSIBLE DAW umabot ng 35K ang maximum MSC.
Para sa kaalaman ng lahat.
Hi Rodel, malamang date of delivery naman ang gagawin nilang determiner sa date of effectivity ng law, so malamang ma-enjoy ng wife mo ang new benefit. In case hindi pa lumabas yong IRR in April, malamang gawin nilang retroactive yong implementation, at dapat merong rules on how to pay the unenjoyed leave days.
Pano kung manganganak ang asawa this year by april at lumabas n ang irr maaavail pa b nya ang expanded maternity leave
PARA SA KAALAMAN NG LAHAT: Bukod sa Expanded Maternity Leave Law meron na rin pong bagong batas tungkol sa Social Security – Ang Social Security Act of 2019 (R.A. 11199) na napirmahan na ng Pangulong Duterte noong Feb. 18 at nagkabisa noong Mar. 5 (saktong 15 days after publication sa Official Gazette)
WALA PA PONG PETSA KUNG KAILAN ITO IPATUTUPAD kasi kasalukuyan pa lang tinatapos ng SSS ang IRR (Implementing Rules and Regulations). Kasalukuyang nagdaraos ang SSS ng public hearing, forum, and consultation tungkol dito. UPANG MAIWASAN ANG KALITUHAN, makabubuting ANTAYIN NA LANG NATIN ANG OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT mula sa SSS kung kailan ito ipatutupad
Mga naka-ambang na pagbabago:
1. Pagtaas ng contribution rate to 12% of monthly salary credit mula sa kasalukuyang 11% at 1% dagdag every 2 yrs. – magiging 13% sa 2021, 14% sa 2023 at 15% sa 2025.
2. Magiging MANDATORY NA ang SSS membership at coverage para sa mga OFWs (both land-based and sea-based). Voluntary lang sa kasalukuyan
3. Magkakaroon ng UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS/INSURANCE for 2 months ang mawawalan/matatanggal sa trabaho. (more or less 50% ng MSC bilang pantustos habang naghahanap ng panibagong trabaho.
4.SSS ang magiging IMPLEMENTING ARM ng bagong Expanded Maternity Leave Law (PLS. SEE Ms. Nora’s notes on this)
5.Bukod sa CONDONATION PROGRAM na umiiral hanggang April 1, MAAARING may kasunod pa sa mga darating na buwan.
ANTABAYANAN NA LANG NATIN.
