It is advisable to submit the application before delivery to receive the allowance already in the previous two months, but it is still possible to submit it within a maximum of six months after the birth of the child.
It is important to submit the application for compulsory maternity before giving birth to start receiving the allowance already in the two months preceding the expected date of delivery. This allows you to enjoy a period of economic protection even before giving birth to the child, without interruption in income. However, even if it is recommended to submit it early, it is possible to submit the application within six months of the child's birth. If the application is submitted more than two months before the birth, the allowance will still be calculated and paid, but it will not cover the period before the birth.
