RP from Pregnancy: Short-Term Disability...Help!!!

I just want to make sure I have this right.....

For a Vag Birth you get 6 weeks and for a C-section you get 8 weeks...Is this right??

FMLA....How long do you get for that?
12 weeks???

TIA!!!

That is correct. Just make sure you qualify for FMLA, your company has to have 50+ employees in a 75 mile radius to qualify.

ETA: and they overlap. You do not get 6 or 8 weeks + 12 weeks.

FMLA and disabilty run concurrently.

FMLA, if you qualify, is the law that protects your job if you leave for 12 weeks for the birth/adoption of a baby.

Talk to your HR department. Each companies maternity leave policies are different.

For example, I took 12 weeks off for the birth of my DD.

I was able to take 3 weeks vacation.
I had 8 weeks ST disability (I had a c-section and this was at a certain % of my pay per my company's policy).
The last week was unpaid.
After 12 weeks I had to come back as my job was no longer protected under FMLA.
