Can male workers in Hangzhou apply for maternity allowance? My wife and I are both foreign hukou. My wife didn't have a job when she gave birth, so she didn't have social security.

I think male workers in Hangzhou can apply for maternity allowance. In your situation, wife, you are a foreign registered permanent residence, and your wife has a baby and can't go to work. Maternity insurance can be paid in advance. When a wife gives birth, she can go to the local area with a social security card to go through the relevant maternity allowance procedures, so as to receive relevant subsidies. As for the specific handling matters, you can directly consult the relevant staff in the social security business hall near the employer where the male employee is located. According to your details, you will know that you have gone through the relevant procedures and provide relevant materials to prove it.
