Is the maternity allowance given by the unit or by social security?

Legal analysis: maternity allowance is given by social security. As long as you pay maternity insurance continuously for more than one year, you can enjoy maternity allowance during childbirth. Maternity allowance, maternity surgery, examination and other expenses are paid by social security to the enterprise account. And then distributed by enterprises to individuals. If the base paid by the enterprise is too low, the maternity allowance received by female employees is lower than the annual income of normal attendance, and the difference needs to be made up by the enterprise.

Legal basis: Article 54 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). The employer has paid maternity insurance, and its employees enjoy maternity insurance benefits; Unemployed spouses of employees 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 allowance.
