How long can I get maternity allowance after paying social security?

According to the article published by Jintou Insurance, the insured must pay 12 months of social security to receive maternity allowance. There are two payment methods and payment standards for maternity allowance in China: 1. In areas where social pooling of maternity insurance is implemented, the payment standard shall be paid according to the average monthly salary of employees in the previous year for a period of not less than 98 days; 2. In areas where social co-ordination of maternity insurance is not implemented, maternity allowance is paid by enterprises or units, and the standard is the basic salary and price subsidy for female employees before giving birth, and the period is generally 98 days. In some areas, professional women who marry late and have children late are encouraged to extend the period of maternity allowance appropriately. Other regions give one-time subsidies to the spouses of male employees who participate in maternity insurance.
