Help on maternity allowance

[teatoast8]

Hi, to qualify for this, do you have to work the qualifying period 18-24 weeks, or is it any 13 weeks in the 26 weeks before the due date? When I've Googled it, those weeks aren't mentioned at all. But had someone say its in their contract that they have to work those weeks. I don't think it's in mine and not read anything online that states it. I know all companies are different.

@BaronessEllarawrosaurus and will only be able to do 10 hours over 2 mornings x

Thank you both. I've left a message on my journal on UC. Hopefully wont need to go back sooner. As long as I stay employed before those weeks and earn above the threshold for the 13 I don't see the issue x

@Mrsttcno1 @BaronessEllarawrosaurus I did the check through the calculator, and that says I'm eligible. Still waiting to hear back on my journal.

Sorry for all the comments. Never been so stressed 😅 x
