Sickness Maternity Benefit Update for Employers and the Employed

In January of this year, SSS has strictly implemented Circular No. 2012-008 regarding the payment of Sickness and Maternity benefits.  This circular mandates all employers to enroll in any SSS-accredited bank.

  2. Good afternoon. My wife used to be an OFW and she hasn't been able to give any contribution these past 2 years (but she was able to contribute for around 5 years prior to that). Recently (maybe last month), she applied to be a voluntary member/contributor since she's currently unemployed. We just found out last week that she's pregnant. Is she entitled to any benefit? Thank you.

    1. you have to ask SSS. if you are employed, your employer should be enrolled because maternity benefits are given thru accredited banks.
      if you are a VM, then it would be mailed.
      as to why it is late, let me say again, ask SSS.
      also please speak proper Tagalog, not text style

    1. i should think you must ask the bank. But by the very nature of banks, this should take a day, provided all documents are submitted

I tried to call SSS Hotline and they said monitor ko daw this week or next week. Payment thru bank from the date na na-encode nila sa system is 8-10 banking days. Now, I'm waiting for the amount in my account :) As long as all the requirements are good. Wala po magiging problem.

  25. Good Day po! After po ba maipasa ni employee yung complete requirements to the employer. Kailangan po ba bayaran muna ng employer si employee for whatever amount entitled to her for her benefit? Then Employer will be the one the submit the requirements to SSS and SSS will reimburse the employer? Is it how it is done? or just wait for the amount to be credited to the bank before the employer gives the employee her benefit?

  36. Hi. Update ko lang din para sa reference ng iba. kasi isa rin ako na nakibasa dito heheh.

    My wife submitted here Maternity Benifits(1 & 2) on May 1, 2017.
    weeks after that, when we checked SSS online, it is stated as CLAIM SETTLED.
    By June 27, she finally received her money on her bank account.

    there is also a bit of discrepancy on the back details that we provided. The bank servicing branch that she provided to SSS was Makati Pasong Tamo.

    While her Bank account servicing branch is actually Makati Insular Ayala.

    despite the error. We still have received the money on her account.

    Thanks! ^_^
