Am I eligible for disability???
Im working full-time right now, but I will be leaving about 2 weeks before my due date (but I will continue to receive pay checks for several more weeks due to left over vacation time). I wont be returning to work after I have the baby and I already informed work of this. Can I get disability??

I think it depends on when your company will say your separation of service started. I think if you have already been "declared"not working prior to having the baby or for any time during disability, you don't qualify. Check with HR.

Re: Am I eligible for disability???
You are eligible for disability if you have worked in the last 4 weeks. If you go out 2 weeks before you give birth you are still eligible.
I'm not sure if the fact that you will receive vacation pay alters your eligibility.
You can call NYS disability @ 1-800-353-3092

You still need a medical reason to receive disability prior to delivery (being 9mths pg isn't reason enough unfortunately). Once you deliver you will receive 6wks for a vaginal delivery and 8wks for a c/sect.

I did the same exact thing... I received my disability with no problem just make sure that they dont think you want to get disability prior to giving birth (that happened to me because I had predated documents).. once my doctor filled out additional paperwork I received my check within a week...

Re: Am I eligible for disability???
So is this disability different from the short term maternity of 6 weeks?
How do you do that? What is the disability?
I had called a while ago and was denied anything but the 6 week $170/week.

Sorry maybe I was unclear. You can't actually collect a check until you either give birth or your Dr.. puts you out but you are eligible once that happens. If you "choose" to not work over 4 weeks before you become "disabled" then you cannot collect disability.

Re: Am I eligible for disability???
If your doctor declares you disabled before you are to give birth then you are eligible for disability but you will only get $170 per wks if 50% OF your weekly pay is $340 OR MORE... and you are eligible for up to 26 wks or more then when you actually deliver its the 6 wks for vag birht or 8 wks for c-section. i just called to find out definetly for sure b/c my docotr is putting me out on disability so it will be a total of 7 wks prior to birth.
Hope this helps...
