This benefit is dealt with by Jobcentre Plus.

What is it
MA provides you with some money to help you take time off work for the birth of
your baby.
MA is paid up to a maximum of 26 weeks.
MA is not subject to tax and National Insurance

Can I get it?
Are You:
Employed – employed or recently changed employer and you cannot get Statutory
Maternity Pay
self-employed – registered with HM Revenue & Customs and paying Class 2
National Insurance contributions or hold a Small Earnings Exception certificate
If YES to either or both, claim MA.

How do I qualify?
To get MA you must have:

been employed and/or self-employed for at least 26 week in the 66 weeks up to
and including the week before your baby is due. This 66 week period is known as
the test period. Part weeks are counted as full weeks; and

earned on average at least Ł30 or more a week, in any 13 weeks in the test
period.

More information on how to work out your earnings is in leaflet NI 17A – A
guide to Maternity Benefits:

How much will I get?
Up to a standard weekly rate, depending on your earnings.

Standard rate Ł106.00 or 90% of your average gross weekly earnings if this 90%
rate is less than Ł106.00.

When does it start?
The earliest that MA can start is from the 11th week before the week your baby
is due and the latest from the day following the birth.

Unemployed
If you are unemployed at the 11th week before the week you baby is due and you
satisfy the conditions for payment, MA will start from this date.

Employed/self-employed
If you continue to work after the 11th week before the week your baby is due,
you can choose when to start getting your MA.

MA will usually start from the Sunday following the day you last worked,
however there are circumstances when this will change:

If your baby is born before the start of the 11th week or before the date your
MA is due to start, MA will start from the day following the birth of your baby.

If you are off sick from work with a pregnancy related illness at the start of
or in the 4 weeks before your baby is due, MA will start from the day following
the first day you are off sick from work for that reason.

Mam nadzieję, że pomoże
