2. How do I qualify?

To qualify for Maternity Benefit as an employee you must:
  • be in insurable employment that is covered by the Maternity Protection Act, 1994 immediately before the first day of maternity leave. The last day of insurable employment may be within 16 weeks of the end of the week your baby is due. If you cease employment your maternity leave must start from the following day,
    and
  • satisfy certain PRSI contribution conditions.
To qualify for Maternity Benefit as a self-employed person you must:
  • be in insurable self-employment,
    and
  • satisfy certain PRSI contribution conditions.
