Background
The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) administers government-provided maternity benefits to eligible female members who are pregnant. The process for applying for these benefits requires submission of specified documentation and compliance with eligibility criteria.
Scope of Application
This regulation applies to female members of the NSSF who are currently pregnant and seeking to claim the government maternity allowance. It excludes self-employed members, as they are not eligible for this benefit.
Key Provisions or Decisions
Pregnant female members of the NSSF must appear in person at the nearest NSSF provincial or district office to register and submit the following documents:
- Maternity health book issued by a public hospital, indicating the expected due date
- Valid Khmer national identification card
- NSSF membership card
- Bank account number in riel currency at ACLEDA Bank or Canadia Bank
- Phone number
Self-employed members are not entitled to receive maternity benefits under this provision.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
Employers and employees should be aware of these procedural requirements to facilitate access to maternity benefits provided by the government via the NSSF. Compliance with documentation and procedural steps is essential for female members to ensure successful benefit claims. This contributes to social security transparency and effective benefit administration.
