Hi everyone,

I have spouse Mauritian residency, would I be able to claim any additional help whilst I am pregnant and after the baby is born? Similar to UK statutory maternity pay and child benefit?

Thanks in advance...

Hi Blackriver,

The following thread can perhaps be useful to you. Nothing much has changed since, so the information provided is still relevant. : https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=698728

If you are employed check Government Notices - 2019 303 for maternity leave.

Allowance are given only to the lowest income earners under the social aid scheme.
In your case, public health care is free.

Do you have a private healthcare insurance ?

Hopefully other members can give you more insights.

All the best,
Anoushka
