The criterion for being a beneficiary of the maternity aid benefit is based on certain deadlines. There are 120 days when there is a birth, 120 in cases of adoption of minors or legal guardianship for this purpose and 120 days in case the fetus dies in the womb or at the time of delivery.
The benefit is intended exclusively for the maternal group, and contributes to people who need to leave their job due to the birth of the baby, adoption, legal custody for adoption and even cases of spontaneous abortion, that is, no criminal.
