Understanding Semester of Contingency

What is a Semester of Contingency?

A semester of contingency is used to evaluate if a pregnant woman is qualified for SSS maternity benefit. This is a period of 6 consecutive months, or two consecutive quarters (or three consecutive months). During this period, the pregnant woman must have paid at least three monthly contributions to the Social Security System (SSS).

For example, if your last contribution was made on October 2020 and you want to apply for SSS maternity benefit by February 2021, then you should make sure that you have paid three more contributions from December 2020 until February 2021. This will serve as proof that you are indeed qualified to receive the benefit.

How Can You Use this Information?

If you are planning on applying for SSS maternity benefits in the near future, it’s important to keep track of your contributions and make sure that you meet the requirements outlined above. It is also important to note that there are other factors that can affect your eligibility for this benefit such as employment status and other forms of income. Make sure to consult with an expert or contact SSS directly if you have any questions about your individual situation.

Conclusion:

Semester of contingency is an important factor when it comes to determining whether or not someone qualifies for SSS maternity benefits.
