Hi mommies, pwede bang hindi iconsume ang buong 60 days ng maternity leave? Will it affect my maternity benefit/reimbursement thru sss?

It will not affect your maternity benefits kasi ang amount na makukuha mo is based on the contribution made to SSS. Sayang naman if you don't consume your ML, almost all moms want to extend their MLs to be with their baby.

May alam akong iba na pumasok earlier than 60 days para magkaroon na ng sahod, pero some employers don't allow it. You better ask your HR first if they would allow you to go back to work within your ML.

I know it will not affect your maternity benefits kasi naka set na yan upon filing and depende un sa contribution mo. It will not also add any amount sa makukuha mo even if pumasok ka ng mas maaga.
