California State Disabilty Covers Maternity -
If there is a pregnancy, personal illness, or family illness an employee can claim 12 weeks in any given year under the Family Medical Leave Act. Any other leave is covered under New Jersey state law.
Maternity leave is usually funded by short term disability insurance. There needs to be a medical reason behind why you are unable to work. There needs to be some medical complication documented by your doctor in order for your early maternity leave to be paid.
Neither one is correct. You would say "I was ona short leave."
Being pregnant is not a short term disability issue and definitely was not caused by a work place incident.
If you are in the state of Texas, most disability, both short term and long term disability will cover 60% of your income tax free.
Short term disability will cover your maternity leave if you purchased a policy before getting pregnant. Social security disability will not cover maternity leave, nor will most long term disability policies.
Short term disability will pay benefits for a defined period of time, provided you are unable to work due to medical reasons.Social Security Disability will cover you if you are permanently disabled. You can collect both. Your private coverage may offset the SSD benefit.
You cannot collect unemployment while you collect wages, so if you are paid while on maternity leave, you probably cannot collect unemployment. You should contact the nearest office of the Colorado Department of Labor to know for certain. You can probably google "Colorado Department of Labor" and send them an email to ask. If you can collect unemployment you'll have to contact that office anyway, to get the paperwork.
