An Act Granting a Maternity Benefit to Women Workers in the Informal Economy, Amending for This Republic Act No. 11210, Appropriating Funds Therefor, and for Other Purposes
The bill would give women who work in the informal sector and are not members of the Social Security System a one‑time cash payment for each birth, equal to the local daily minimum wage multiplied by 44 days. The money would come from excise taxes on sugary drinks, alcohol and tobacco products, and the program would be run by the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
