Social security can receive maternity allowance

According to the laws of our country, individuals who pay social security can receive maternity allowance.1. However, the wages paid by the company during the maternity leave and the maternity allowance paid by the social security bureau cannot be enjoyed at the same time.2. If the unit pays the social security, the company does not need to pay the wages to the employee during the maternity leave, but the company, with the maternity voucher of the female employee, applies for the maternity allowance for the female employee at the Maternity Insurance Fund. Instead, the company will apply to the Maternity Insurance Fund for the female employee with the maternity voucher, and use the maternity allowance as the female employee's salary during her maternity leave. However, if the base amount of maternity insurance premiums paid by the enterprise for the employee is lower than the average salary income of the female employee in the previous year, the maternity allowance received by the female employee will be lower than her salary during her normal attendance, and the enterprise will need to make up the difference; 3. If the unit does not pay social security, the company should pay her salary according to her normal attendance during her maternity leave.

Article 54 of the Social Insurance Law states that if an employer has paid maternity insurance premiums, its employees shall enjoy maternity insurance benefits; the employee's unemployed spouse shall enjoy maternity medical expenses in accordance with state regulations. The required funds are paid from the Maternity Insurance Fund. Maternity insurance benefits include maternity medical expenses and maternity allowances.
