Who receives benefits from the Geneva Maternity Insurance Scheme?

Mothers who were employed in the Canton of Geneva for at least three months before the birth of their child and are insured under the OASI legislation are entitled to a maternity benefit.

If a child is adopted, entitlement exists under the same conditions as those which apply in the event of an adoption allowance.
Entitlement to the allowance also exists if the mother does not go back to work after the birth of her child.

Entitlement to the daily allowances or allowance commences on the day of the birth and ends after 112 days at the latest. It ends prematurely if the mother starts working again before the entitlement period expires.
