∙ 13y agoIt depends on your disability policy. You first want to check your disability policy to make sure that work related injuries/conditions are covered. You generally will be able to find out if work related condition are not covered in the exclusions section of your certificate in which you would not be entitled to disability income. However, if your disability policy covers work related conditions, typically you can apply for disability income once you have met your elimination period (i.e., waiting period).

There is no paid maternity leave or mandated short term disability in Texas. Your best bet is to apply for short term disability preconception. Short term disability will pay a benefit when you deliver, giving you a paid maternity leave. Texas doesnt require your employer to pay you but if you are approved for FMLA then if your job aggrees to pay you for either 6 to 8 weeks that is fine. Just talk to your employer and see what they can do for you. My employer gives you paid maternity leave under FMLA if you have been there for a year. Which I have not and it sucks so im trying to get TANF.

Short term disability for maternity leave?
Probably not. Most long term disability policies have an elimination period of 3 months or more. You will be considered disabled 8 weeks for a c-section delivery - well short of the elimination period. Check your policy for the exact elimination period. If something happens during your pregnancy and/or delivery that causes a lengthy disability, then you may be paid a benefit. Most women of child bearing age find short term disability to be a better overall fit. It offers an elimination period as short as one week - meaning your maternity leave will be a covered benefit.

Can you get short term disability while on bed rest for pregnancy in Illinois?
No. Pregnancy is normally covered as any other disability, if the short term policy is taken BEFORE you are pregnant. If you are currently pregnant and get a new short term or long term disability policy, the current pregnancy will be excluded. If you have complications of pregnancy, and get a new policy, the future pregnancies may also be excluded. It's best to get coverage for short term disability and/or long term disability while you're healthy (and young) since the premiums would be much lower, and you'll have the protection for when you'll need it most. If you're already disabled or sick it's too late to get coverage for that specific disability, but you can still cover other injuries or illnesses. Talk to a good agent who can help you through this process.
