SICKNESS BENEFIT

FOR SELF-EMPLOYED, VOLUNTARY, OVERSEAS FILIPINO WORKER (OFW), NON-WORKING SPOUSE (NWS), AND MEMBER SEPARATED FROM EMPLOYMENT

A daily cash allowance paid for the number of days a member is unable to work due to sickness or injury.

Qualifying Conditions

A member is qualified to avail of this benefit if he/she:

Is unable to work due to sickness or injury and is confined either in a hospital or at home for at least four (4) days;

Has paid at least three (3) months of contributions within the 12-month period immediately preceding the semester of sickness or injury;

Has duly notified the SSS directly of the fact of sickness or injury.

Amount of Benefit

The amount of the member’s daily sickness benefit allowance is equivalent to ninety percent (90%) of his/her average daily salary credit (ADSC).

Exclude the semester of contingency.

A semester refers to two (2) consecutive quarters ending in the quarter of sickness.

A quarter refers to three (3) consecutive months ending in March, June, September, or December

Count twelve (12) months backwards starting from the month immediately before the semester of contingency.

Select the six (6) highest monthly salary credits within the 12-month period to arrive at the total monthly salary credit.

Monthly salary credit (MSC) refers to the compensation base for contributions and benefits related to the total earnings for the month.

Please refer to the following table: 2021 Contribution Table

Divide the total monthly salary credit by 180 days to get the average daily salary credit (ADSC).

Multiply the ADSC by ninety percent (90%) to get the daily sickness allowance.

Multiply the daily sickness allowance by the approved number of days to arrive at the amount of benefit due.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

How many days in a year can a member be granted sickness benefit?

A member can be granted sickness benefit for a maximum of 120 days in one (1) calendar year. Any unused portion cannot be carried forward/added to the total number of allowable compensable days for the following year.

The sickness benefit shall not be paid for more than 240 days on account of the same illness. If the sickness or injury persists after 240 days, the claim will be considered a disability claim.

What is the prescriptive period in the filing of sickness benefit claim?

The following prescriptive periods in filing Sickness Benefit application must be strictly followed:

FILING OF SICKNESS BENEFIT APPLICATION (SBA) FORM

HOME CONFINEMENT

HOSPITAL CONFINEMENT

SBA Form must be submitted to SSS within five (5) calendar days after the start date of confinement.

SBA Form must be submitted to SSS within one (1) year from the date of hospital discharge.

NOTE: Starting August 18, 2015, OFW-members are given a 30-day grace period beyond the existing five-day prescriptive period in the filing of sickness benefit application. This is to address the concern that due to the distance between their place of work/residence and the nearest SSS foreign branch, their claim for sickness benefit are often penalized for late filing. The additional 30-day grace period shall be applied only to cases that do not require hospital confinement.

What are the implications of late filing?

Failure to observe the rule on notification shall be a ground for the reduction or denial of the sickness claim application. If the member notifies the SSS beyond the prescribed five-day period, the confinement shall be deemed to have started not earlier than the fifth (5th) day immediately preceding the date of notification.

EXAMPLE: The member gets sick and was confined at home from March 1 to 31, 2019 for a total of 31 days.

The notification was done on March 8, 2019 (two days late).

Notification should have been made between March 2 to 6, 2019 or within five (5) calendar days after the start date of confinement.

Hence, the compensable period will be from March 3 to 31, 2019 only for a total of 29 days

What if the last day of filing falls on a weekend or a holiday?

Whenever the last day to notify the SSS of a member’s sickness or injury falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the sickness benefit application may be filed on the immediately succeeding working day without the penalty of delay.

Holiday refers to the legal, regular, or special non-working day declared by the government, both national and local.

The same rule shall also be applied for hospital confinement, if the deadline of the one-year prescriptive period falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday.

What is the disbursement procedure of sickness benefit payment?

The sickness benefit claims shall be mandatorily disbursed through the qualified payee’s Unified Multi-purpose Identification (UMID) card enrolled as Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card. In the absence of this, payment shall be made thru participating banks under the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) Disbursement Facility via the Philippine Electronic Fund Transfer System and Operations Network (PESONet), electronic wallets (E-Wallets), or accredited remittance transfer companies (RTCs)/cash payout outlets (CPOs).

Hence, self-employed, and voluntary members, including OFWs and those separated from employment, shall be required to enroll the following details in the Disbursement Account Enrollment Module and upload proof of account in the My.SSS Facility in the SSS website:

If through PESONet participating banks:

Bank name and account number

If through E-wallet:

Mobile number linked to bank account number

If through RTC/CPO:

Mobile number

Members shall be notified by SSS thru email or SMS upon crediting of their sickness benefit claims to their PESONet bank/E-wallet accounts, or if payment is already available through RTCs/CPOs.

Crediting of benefit payments shall be made within five (5) banking days from date of settlement.

Morning sickness

Request an Appointment

Symptoms &causesDiagnosis &treatment

OverviewMorning sickness is feeling like throwing up, also called nausea, and throwing up, also called vomiting, that occurs during pregnancy. Despite its name, morning sickness can strike at any time of the day or night.

Many people have morning sickness, especially during the first three months of pregnancy. But some people have morning sickness all through pregnancy. Home remedies, such as snacking during the day and sipping ginger ale or taking medicine you can buy without a prescription, might help relieve nausea.

Rarely, morning sickness is so bad that it turns into hyperemesis gravidarum. This is when the nausea and vomiting cause serious fluid loss or loss of more than 5% of pre-pregnancy body weight. Hyperemesis gravidarum might require going to a hospital for treatment.Products & ServicesA Book: Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy PregnancyA Book: ObstetricksShow more products from Mayo Clinic

SymptomsNausea, with or without vomiting, is common in pregnancy. Morning sickness is often brought on by smelling certain odors or eating certain foods.

Morning sickness is most common during the first three months of pregnancy. It typically starts before nine weeks. Symptoms usually improve by the middle or end of the second three months of pregnancy.

When to see a doctorContact your health care provider if:

You produce no urine or only a little urine that's a dark color

You can't keep liquids down

You feel dizzy or faint when you stand up

CausesThe cause of morning sickness is not known. Hormone changes might play a role. Rarely, a medical condition not related to pregnancy, such as thyroid or gallbladder disease, can cause serious nausea or vomiting.

Risk factorsMorning sickness can affect anyone who's pregnant, but it might be more likely for those who:

Had nausea or vomiting from other causes before becoming pregnant, such as motion sickness or migraines

Had morning sickness during a prior pregnancy

Are pregnant with twins or other multiples

Hyperemesis gravidarum might be more likely for those who:

Are pregnant with a girl

Have a family history of hyperemesis gravidarum

Have had hyperemesis gravidarum during an earlier pregnancy

ComplicationsMild nausea and vomiting of pregnancy usually won't cause harm.

If left untreated, severe nausea and vomiting can cause a lack of bodily fluids, a condition known as dehydration. It also may lead to an imbalance in electrolytes — the salts in blood that control the balance of fluids in the body. Severe nausea and vomiting may result in less urine output. Research is mixed on whether hyperemesis gravidarum causes poor weight gain for the baby during pregnancy.

PreventionThere's no sure way to prevent morning sickness. However, taking a daily vitamin supplement before and during pregnancy might help.

Treating these conditions will often resolve sickness symptoms.SummaryPeople may feel sick due to medical conditions, environmental factors or unhealthy habitsRest, adequate hydration, and dietary changes can treat many short-term causes of sickness. However, when symptoms result from a chronic condition, treating the underlying cause is necessary to resolve symptoms.
