Frequently Asked Questions about South Carolina Surrogate Pay
If you have questions about surrogate pay in South Carolina, we can help.
How much does it cost to be a surrogate mother in South Carolina?
Our surrogate compensation package ensures you won’t have to pay for any surrogacy or pregnancy expenses out of pocket. Becoming a surrogate with us costs nothing.
Do surrogates get maternity leave in South Carolina?
Yes. Because of FMLA, all women are entitled to maternity leave for pregnancy. However, FMLA doesn’t dictate that this leave is paid. That will be up to your employer. If any wages are lost during your surrogate pregnancy, we will reimburse you.
Do surrogates have to pay taxes in South Carolina?
Yes. Your surrogate pay is your income. Because South Carolina has a state income tax, your surrogate pay will be taxed. The escrow service we partner with will send you the appropriate 1099 form to file for tax season.
Do surrogates get paid if they miscarry?
Partially. You will be paid for the time that you are pregnant. After the miscarriage, your surrogate payments will pause. If you and the intended parents want to try again, your payments will resume when a pregnancy is confirmed once again.
Why do surrogates get paid in South Carolina?
Surrogate compensation recognizes the surrogate’s commitment to creating families. It allows surrogates to support their own families, and ensure their financial security. As any professional service merits fair compensation, acknowledging the surrogate's dedication through payment is a recognition of the valuable contribution they make to helping others achieve the dream of parenthood.
