Maternity Allowance on dependant visa

[entrepreneur123]

Hi,
My wife is on dependant visa, and working part time. On her visa it says that she cannot claim public benefits. Can she apply for maternity allowance from job center plus? Will it be ok? or do it comes under public benefits? many thanks if you can send me any link that will be great.
thanks
