SSS maternity benefit for solo parent

How do I apply for solo parent to be able to claim sss mat ben for solo parent? My due date is on NOV 2020. Im currently unemployed and single. According to what I read, i should prepare docs (CENOMAR), brgy certificate on where Im residing and birth cert of child. Then submit to dswd. How about if icclaim palang yung maternity benefit for solo parent? I checked kasi 70k if normal/cs pero if solo parent its 80k (normal/cs) Mga sis baka my idea kayo? Thank you.

i think for sss mat ben, the requirements still apply may adustment lang sa solo parent dahil may additional days. from smartparenting article: "Qualified solo parents under the Solo Parents' Welfare Act of 2000, or Republic Act No. 8972, are entitled to an additional 15 days of maternity benefit on top of the 105 days. The EML law also provides new moms the option to extend their maternity leave for 30 more days without pay."
