Avatar f tn Question ladies any of you out here in California going out on disability leave for your pregnancy? This is my first time having a baby and going out on leave and was just curious about when will I receive my first pay from EDD, I put down for my claim to start on the day my Dr is putting me out which is 11/9...I was looking forward to working up until my due date but my Dr suggest that's not a good idea....your help is appreciated ladies...Thank you!!!
Avatar f tn m not sure what state you are in but, in California they give you paid disability leave 4 weeks before your due date and 6 weeks after for vaginal and 8 weeks after for a c section. After that they give you paid family leave of 6 weeks paid. The state transitions you from disability to The paid family leave for a additional 6 weeks paid. But your doctor may recommend you to take leave earlier depending on your pregnancy. You would just need a doctors note confirming a due date I would think.
Avatar f tn If your in California look up the Family Medical Leave Act, it's what the person above me is talking about. They pay up to 55% of your monthly income. This is what i plan to use. They pay for 4 weeks leave before baby and 6 to 8 weeks after depending on delivery. Somethings better then nothing!
Avatar f tn You only get so many days for short term disability and if you go over those days (and maternity leave may count in your short term disability benefits like it did mine)-- you get different pay. I ended up working until a week before my due date because I wanted time after the baby-- as much as possible. Does that make sense? Honestly, the best thing to do is check with your own company and their benefits. Do you have an online site that you can look at for your employer?
Avatar f tn I love in California and here we can collect short term disability from 4 weeks before due date to 6 weeks after birth. I am unsure as to wether I want to take the month before off. But it's a use it or loose it. What do other moms think? Or suggest?
Avatar n tn I am loosing my mind over how my financial situation will work while basically being unemployed for 2-3 months. Does anyone know if you are able to get disability while on leave?I mean technically we are disabled. My employer only does non-paid leave.

Avatar f tn I just wantef to know how many weeks can you go on Maternity leave in California o work as a house keeper at a casino cleaning 16 rooms a day I'm getting tire real back pain times I can't move to the point a cry and my right leg from my hip all way down to my knee cap gets so numb at it Burns that I can't walk. I'm 27 weeks I'm due Dec 12 I been at my job for 2years.
Avatar f tn If you are you can make a claim with your local employment office for disability claims as that covers pregnancy disability as well. In California, pregnancy disability generally covers 4 weeks before the due date, 6 seeks after you give birth vaginally or 8 weeks after you give birth by cesarean. Disability benefits are calculated as 55% of your regular pay.
2070825 tn?1337225969 You have to quit? I don't see how that's legal! If it is legal, it shouldn't be. I live in california and I know pregnancy falls under the category of a disability, and is covered by the disability act, which does not allow employers to terminate employment due to pregnancy. That really stinks, hopefully they will work with you!
Avatar f tn Im a ftm nd a travel nurse nd my job doesnt take out disability but everything else been having 2 jobs 4 a while but quit a lil before i found out i was prego. I heard they go based upon your past jobs is this true?
Avatar f tn Depends on your job and time at it.
Avatar f tn I live in California, most girls I work with take a ull 16 weeks a combination of pregnancy disability leave and than child bonding/paid family leave. I can't afford that so I only take 6 weeks leave. I don't get paid my full wages and theirs a 1 week waiting period before benefits begin. By time things get squared away, I am usually already back at work. Not sure where your at, but definitely save money for the time your off. Better to be safe than sorry.
Avatar f tn OK thanks that's what I'm plan on doing I'm due November 13th and my leave starts November 10th

Avatar f tn California is the only state that has disability benefits, my hq is in California but I live and work in Illinois and get no pay. With my first I had to do an ira withdrawal to pay myself for 3 months off, this time I'm taking out a small personal loan to cover my pay.
Avatar f tn What state are you in? Fmla in california pays about 55% of wages. I am applying for disability first 6 weeks and then 6 weeks fmla. So i get the full 12 weeks.
Avatar f tn Have you thought about doing a job at home to do the remainder of your pregnancy and something you can do on maternity leave as well? Send me a message if you are interested, and No its not a scam or spam. Lol.
Avatar f tn I qualify for 6 weeks short term disability and get paid 66.66% of my gross pay. I can also use my sick leave and vacation leave for my FMLA and can take a maximum of 12 weeks off. You shouldn't feel stupid asking them these questions... they are things you need to know.. I called human resources 2 weeks ago and got all the answers to my questions that I needed..
Avatar f tn was 6 weeks or 8 with c-section, so that surprises me about California. My work will pay me through short-term disability for 4 weeks. I have to use all my sick time and accrued vacation for first two weeks. If I'm short on that time, I don't get paid until disability kicks in. Got to love maternity leave being paid that way.
Avatar f tn So I am freaking out... I am almost at the point where I will be taking maternity leave but since I am per diem I don't quality for any benefit only state disability... I live in the state of California and I really don't know how it works... I am depending on that to pay my rent until I go back to work... but someone told me it takes a long time for them to approve you and to send you a check...
7918555 tn?1397019994 It depends on the laws of your state. In California we begin maternity leave at week 36. 4 weeks before delivery, 6-8 weeks after for recovery, then 6 weeks of baby bonding time. I think u should make an apt w your obgyn and ask. Good luck and lots of rest!
Avatar f tn t get paid for maternity leave through my company. However, I do have short term disability that will pay me 60% of my salary while on leave. Of course, I do pay $120 a month for short term disability insurance so they better pay me.
