All pilot areas in Hebei Province implement the direct distribution of maternity benefits to individuals.

According to the Hebei Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau, starting from July 1st, Hebei Province will directly distribute maternity benefits to individuals in all pooling areas. One no longer needs to provide additional documents such as birth permits, maternity service certificates, and marriage certificates to enjoy maternity benefits. How much money can one receive as maternity benefits? It is explained that the standard for distribution is calculated as "the monthly average salary of insured female employees' unit in the previous year 30 days number of maternity benefit days." Taking the example of a first-child natural childbirth, with 158 days of maternity benefit, if the monthly average salary of the insured female employee is 6000 yuan, they can receive 31,600 yuan in maternity benefits.
