What Documents Are Required to Receive Maternity Benefits

The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs continues the process of granting maternity benefits to non-working individuals. Maternity benefits are provided as a one-time payment of approximately 156,500 drams.

The necessary documents include a passport or identification card, tax identification number, sick leave certificate, and an application, which must be submitted to the territorial center of the Unified Social Service.

To receive the payment, the above-mentioned documents must be submitted during the temporary incapacity period (140 days) noted in the sick leave certificate for pregnancy and childbirth. The benefit is assigned within one month after the submission of the required documents.
