Maternity Benefit - Claims Claim before confinement
An insured woman who is pregnant may submit to her Branch Office a notice of pregnancy (form 19) together with a certificate of pregnancy (form 20) issued not earlier than 7 days before the date of notice (Regulation 87)	Maternity Benefit Duration Eligibility Daily rate Claims Certification Download forms
It is not compulsory for an insured woman to give any notice of her pregnancy, but it is helpful for her to give notice because - it helps to determine whether the birth of a dead child may be deemed as 'confinement' entitling her to maternity benefit for 12 weeks, or 'miscarriage' which entitles her to maternity benefit for just 6 weeks; and if she decides to move to her village for her confinement, it helps establish her bonafides for acceptance of birth certificate issued in her village.
