How many months do you need to pay social security for maternity allowance?

Maternity allowance requires 12 months of social security, as follows:

1. When a female worker gives birth, the work unit has paid the full amount for her 12 months or more, and she conforms to the national, provincial and municipal family planning policies, and enjoys maternity medical treatment and maternity allowance;

2. When a female worker gives birth, the work unit has paid the normal full amount for her for 6 months but less than 12 months. If she conforms to the national, provincial and municipal family planning policies, she can enjoy maternity medical treatment, and her maternity allowance is paid by the employer according to the regulations.

Methods of receiving maternity allowance:

1. After pregnancy, bring the household registration book, marriage certificate, ID card and other relevant documents, and the unit manager will handle the maternity insurance medical registration. Determine the hospital for delivery and check-up;

2. Pay attention to the need to apply for a birth permit;

Take the medical registration form to the hospital when giving birth. This is convenient for the social security bureau and the hospital to use maternity insurance for settlement after checking;

4. After giving birth to the child, apply for the one-child certificate with the medical registration form, discharge summary (official seal), marriage certificate, household registration book, ID card and other related documents. The unit manager will apply to the Social Security Bureau for maternity allowance.

To sum up, it takes one year to apply for maternity insurance. After the insured person has been insured for 12 months since the next month of delivery (the cumulative coverage of maternity insurance is insufficient at the time of birth or termination of pregnancy 12 months), the employer or individual will bring relevant information to the human and social departments to reimburse the maternity allowance sporadically.
