For this, one of the following conditions must be met: ⠀ ✔️ the woman is registered as a self-employed individual and has been paying voluntary social insurance contributions; ⠀ ✔️ if the woman does not work, her spouse has been paying voluntary social insurance contributions on her behalf. ⠀ Important condition: To qualify for maternity benefits, voluntary insurance contributions must be paid for at least 10 months, with the last 6 months being continuous. ⠀
💵 How is the benefit amount determined? The longer and more regularly the voluntary insurance contributions are paid, the higher the assigned benefit amount will be. ⠀
✅ At the same time, the maternity benefit does not exceed 5 times the minimum wage (MROT). Today, this amount stands at 6,355,000 UZS. ⠀ The minimum monthly amount of the voluntary social insurance contribution is set at 5% of the minimum wage, which currently equals 63,550 UZS. ⠀ Pay contributions via the Baraka mobile app, and your benefit will be automatically transferred to your Baraka card. ⠀
