Can overseas Filipino workers claim SSS maternity benefits while abroad?

A PeraGabay Team Answered by

Yes, overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) can claim SSS maternity benefits as long as they meet the eligibility requirements. You need to have contributed to the SSS for at least three months within the 12-month period before your maternity leave. To apply, you will need to submit your application and necessary documents, which can often be done online. It's best to check the official SSS website or contact their office for specific details on the process and to ensure you have the most current information.
