Maternity

Para po sa mga naguguluhan na mommies. Ang SSS Expanded Maternity Law ay effective na po last April 2019. 105 days - both normal & cs 105+15 days - both normal & cs (solo parent) 105+30 days - if may complication, yung addt'l 30 days without pay. So lahat po ng manganganak ng April 2019 onwards, covered na ng expanded maternity law. Ang ibig sabihin lang po ng nasa news, yung worth 70,000 na claims, makukuha po yan ng mga members na may maximum contribution na 2400/month. Lahat po ng mommy na manganganak January 2020 onwards. For mommies naman na ang delivery date is 2019, pro rata po ang computation na gagawin. *For your reference (Monthly Salary Credit): Old Maternity law (March 2019-below) - maximum of 16,000 MSC with 1,760 monthly contribution. New Maternity Law (April 2019-onwards) - maximum of 20,000 MSC with 2,400 monthly contribution. **For example EDD ko is January 6, 2020. Semester of contingency ko is Oct-Dec 2019, meaning hindi po ito counted so okay lang na kahit wala akong hulog sa ganitong month. From Oct 2018-Sept 2019 kailangan may hulog ako na at least 3mos para makapag claim ng maternity benefit. FYI, minimum lng po ito. Ang maximum po na iccompute ni sss ay 6months (kaya nga dini-divide nila sa 180days) Let's say April-Sept 2019 (covered ng new maternity law) ang maximum contribution ko is 2,400 per month, yan ang gagamitin ni sss since yan ang highest contribution ko. Eto magging computation: 20,000(MSC) x 6 (mos) / 180 = 666.67 x 105days = 70,000 Note: Para mabilis niyong maintindihan, kailangan alam niyo to: 1. Delivery Date 2. Semester of contingency (eto yung semester before your delivery date, hindi counted ang contribution niyo sa semester na to). 3. Covered contribution (1yr before delivery, hndi kasama ang semester of contingency) 4. Old maternity law applies old monthly salary credit (March 2019-below)
