Can husband social security receive maternity allowance?

Husband social security can't get maternity allowance.

The social security account of male employees cannot be used to receive maternity allowance; Maternity allowance is specially set for female workers to compensate their income loss when they are temporarily unable to work due to childbirth. If a female worker is unemployed or the employer fails to pay maternity insurance premium, she can use her spouse's social security account to reimburse maternity medical expenses, but this does not include maternity allowance. That is to say, even if the spouse of a male employee can reimburse maternity medical expenses through his social security account, he still can't get maternity allowance.

1. Maternity insurance coverage: cover employees who have participated in maternity insurance and give them some economic compensation for their maternity;

2. The subject of maternity insurance payment: Under normal circumstances, the employer pays maternity insurance premiums for employees in accordance with the prescribed proportion;
