  1. Ofw here for 5yrs and my last contribution was way back 2019 when I was still working in Dasmarinas. My question is now that I am pregnant, can I still do my contributions and make a claim for MAT2 afterwards..? My total months of contribution is 84 as of the moment.

    1. If your last contribution was made in 2019, you may still qualify for SSS maternity benefits by making the required 3 contributions within 12 months before delivery and filing Forms MAT-1 and MAT-2 on time. The amount will depend on your average MSC and the number of your total contributions.

    1. Yes, you can continue paying SSS contributions as a voluntary member at age 47.
