It covers your normal maternity leave, and more.
Some states have their own policies. Like California, New York, and a few others have paid family leave programs. So, it really depends on where you're at. Maternity leave in the US can be a bit tricky. There's actually no federal law guaranteeing paid maternity leave. But don't worry, there's the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) that can be a lifesaver. If you're lucky, your employer might offer paid maternity leave as part of their benefits package. But, again, it varies. So, my advice? Talk to your HR folks, read up on your company's policies, and see what's available to you. Good luck mamma🤗👶🍼
