You can read more about the SSS online enrollment benefits at my post “SSS Online Enrollment Benefits“.
I prefer the SSS Maternity Benefits Online Application because it is very easy to apply and I do not have to travel and wait in a line just to apply for it. The photo above is the actual view of the screen when you login pointing on the transactions menu.
How to apply for SSS Maternity Benefits through Online Application in the Philippines?
- A member must be registered in the My.SSS online service portal.
- SSS member should meet the qualifying conditions:
- She has paid at least three monthly contributions within the 12-month period immediately preceding the semester of her childbirth or miscarriage.
- She has given the required notification of her pregnancy through her employer if employed, or to the SSS if separated, voluntary or self-employed member.

Since I applied the SSS maternity benefits online when I called SSS if I have to show up and submit a SSS form MAT-1 they told me that my application online was accepted and I do not have to go to their office to submit it.The employer must, in turn, notify the SSS through the submission of the maternity notification form and proof of pregnancy immediately after the receipt of the notification from the employee member. Failure to observe the rule on notification may result to the denial of the maternity claim.
- First, login to My.SSS online service portal. Go to Transactions under the main menu then click Maternity Notification.

Hi Jem, I’ved already registered online trying to apply online maternity benefits by following your instructions but there’s no TRANSACTION menu on my profile. How can I fill up the online registration form for MAT 1? I hope you can help me for this problem thanks in advance.
Hi Maricel,
I think they’ve updated their system. I tried to login but can’t access my account and will send them email. I will check it out to see once I’ve login.

Hi Micah,
When I logon to mySSS member site, they already updated with the new system and you can’t view the status of your loan and maternity there. Kindly call SSS at (632) 920-6401 for your inquiries. You can also set an appointment with them.

what of if i already give birth can i avail for this?
Hi Lynie,
If you already give birth, I think there’s no way to avail it because there is an application period and that is during your conception. With my first born, I wasn’t able to avail it because I was late.
Good day po,
Tanong ko lang po, nakapag-apply na po ako online, and received a Maternity Notification Submission Confirmation from sss thru email. May iba pa po bang needs? Or iyon na po yun?
Sure na po na makareceive ako ng maternity benefit after that process po?
Salamat po for giving time and sharing this info with us.
God bless!
Hi Loren,
Sa Maternity online application nyo po ba, have you seen that the application status is accepted? If yes, as far as I know , no need to go to SSS office. The next step that you have to do is to submit SSS Form MAT-2 (Maternity Reimbursement) after giving birth na. So, for example nanganak ka ng December 16, you can submit SSS Form MAT-2 on the next month.
