According to the article I read,

Under Article 133(a) of the Labor Code, “Every employer shall grant to any pregnant woman employees who has rendered an aggregate service of at least six months for the last twelve months, maternity leave of at least two weeks prior to the expected date of delivery and another four weeks after normal delivery or abortion, with full pay based on her regular or average weekly wages.”

SSS maternity benefit shall be equivalent to 100% of the pregnant employee’s average daily salary credit for 60 days, or 78 days in case of caesarian delivery.

My question is, am I receiving the correct amount for my maternity benefits? A total of P30,000 is all I will recieve according to the company HR. As I understand from the above article, I am supposed to receive “100% of the pregnant employee’s average daily salary credit for 60 days”. So that would be P47,300 x 2 months = P94,600.

However, after checking SSS online, I was surprised to see that my average daily allowance is just P500. So if this would be the basis of my maternity benefits, it is correct that the amount due is just P30,000. How do we compute for for the Average Daily Allowance given that I earn P47,300 per month?

Am I correct to say that I am not receiving the correct amount that I should get for my SSS maternity pay? If so, what steps should I go to so that this should be corrected?

can i avail my maternity benefits since i am late filing of my MAT1, On april 8 i confirmed i was pregnant, that night on the same date i got some spots indicating threatened abortion on the next day april 9 i was able to see my doctor and was advised to have a bed rest for a week, unfortunately when i got home right after my check up the bleeding continues, my doctor called up to take all the medicine as for “pampakapit” and “pampakalma”
to stop the bleeding, but despite of all meds taken i still have continues bleeding, as per her advice i need to have trans vaginal ultrasound and urinalysis as soon as possible, so before 6pm that date i undergo trans vaginal ultrasound to determine the status, as a result there was no sac found only for some indications of pregnant woman with thickened endometrial lining, while the procedure was done the bleeding is on going, as per my doctor the result is not convincing, the pregnancy was not totally ruled out due to its early stage of 5-6 weeks, so still we have to be agressive by taking medicines to be able to survive the baby, for monitoring i have to do pregnancy test everyday and update my doctor what is going on, the bleeding last for almost 3days and i lost my hope because i have a doubt that on the 2nd day i confirmed that i am pregnant
the baby was gone also, i was under observation for almost a week and i have gone through pregnancy test 3 times with a positive result, my doctor says the positive pregnancy test result is possible for miscarriage women and it takes a week to find out the accurate result, after a week i repeat the pregnancy test twice with a negative result. During my check up last April 19, my doctor said that what happened to me was complete abortion and no need for a D&C since it was a complete abortion, only an antibiotic for 1week to prevent infection. After all i was not able to report for work, from the date of confirmation the spontaneous abortion occur very fast, the next day. How about the hystopath report? I have none, no one advise me to do that test, in my case i never thought i have gone through these

Thank you.

Thank you!
