    1. hi can i still have my SSS maternity benefit recomputed? My employer already gave me my SSS benefit before I take my leave and before my end of contract day. They based it through SSS online computation of benefits. Sadly upon checking with my SSS online they just reimburse only half of what they gave me so mean to say I still owe my employer now.

    2. you can certainly write to sss, to the branch that processed your benefit and ask for a recomputation
