It was my first time to claim my SSS maternity benefit a couple of months ago. Before you can claim your SSS maternity benefits, the SSS member should submit a Maternity Notification which I did through SSS Maternity online application. I gave birth via caesarian section last December 2012 and I have submitted my SSS Form MAT-2 (Maternity Reimbursement) on the last week of January 2013.
SSS Maternity Check and Voucher
Being registered in the My.SSS online service portal, it is very convenient to access your SSS account profile. The information under your account provide details such as the status of your maternity benefits so it’s a relief when you wanted to see the status of your benefit claim.
How to access your SSS maternity benefit claim?
To access your SSS maternity benefit claim, you should login first to My.SSS online service portal. Click Online Inquiry then under benefits, click on Maternity Benefits. The page will show the Maternity Claim History. The picture below is the actual maternity benefit status of my Maternity benefit claim. As you can see the status “Settled” means that your Maternity benefit claim was approved and in a week after the status date, I already received my SSS Maternity check and voucher.
Since I am a work-at-home mom, I am paying my SSS contribution voluntarily. I decided pay my monthly contribution for only Php 572. The amount of my SSS maternity benefit claim is not the big but it is very helpful for moms like me.
If you are planning to apply for SSS maternity benefits claim, you can read my experience of how I easily apply through SSS maternity benefits online application in the Philippines.

Hi this is very useful info. thanks for sharing!
i did the same – submitting online of my my maternity notification, my question is how to claim the benefits which i am not in the Philippines, im working in Dubai and will probably deliver my baby also here. how does it work for the claims?
Hi Charisse,
You’re welcome! To claim for your check, I think you can ask you close relative in the Philippines to file a claim for you but they will be needing – birth certificate of the baby, medical certificate from the hospital where you gave birth, and authorization letter. It is best if your representative is your mom or mom-in-law and they could ask SSS personally for other matters about your concern.
Hi! Ask lang po, nagbigay po ako ng sarili ko pong bank account sa sss para po sa mat benefits. Chineck ko po online, nkalagay na po sa status ko ay settle last 01/11/2017 po, gano po kaya katagal bago po dumtng sa account ko po? salamat po!!!
Hi ask ko lang po kung nareceived mo n po sa atm mo? How many days po inabot? Thanks
Hi Lory,
Yes po. It would take months before ka ma-received that was year 2012 pa. I think SSS have a new system na po so better ask for assistance sa kanila.
hi po good day , ask ko lang sana kung kelan ko makukuha ung sa mat benefit ko june 22,2017 po kasi ung status settled nya .. how long it takes po kaya. thanks
Hi Jhaja,
In my case kasi, settled status date ko is March 6, 2013 yun din ang nakalagay sa date ng check. If wala pa rin pinapadala ang SSS, better go to the nearest SSS branch to follow- up and bring your claim reference.
Paano po mag process ng request for re-issuance ng tseke ng maternity benefit ko?Unclaimed tsek po cia kse wala pong nagreceive nung ideliver s home residence ks pinas.Ilang weeks bago ko matanggap or meron ng auto credit cla s account ngayon?
Hi Gen,
Best to go the nearest SSS branch po for your SSS concern. Good luck!

Hi Sarah,
Better inform SSS directly po. Try to call or go to the nearest office.
hi.. nagapply ako ng maternity benefit for miscarriage.. sabi approved and encoded na daw siya kaso pag chinecheck ko yung account ko ang nalabas lang is ” no maternity benefit claim” 2 weeks na kasi nung nagpasa ko.. please enlighten me po..
Hi Camille,
I think yung website ng SSS for membership is not that updated pa so better po na directly go to the nearest SSS office. Mas maganda maaga then ask for a reference sa transactions mo sa kanila para for follow-up madali i-trace.
Hi mommy. My claim was settled last September and na remit na daw ung cheke sa employer ko pero until now wala parin pumapasok sa payroll acct ko
Hi Camille,
Better go the nearest SSS branch po to follow up and verify.
