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🤗👶🍼
Under the Family Medical Leave Act there is 12 weeks available in a 12 month 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.
In the U.S. maternity leave is typically unpaid - unless you have short term disability insurance coverage. Five states mandated that workers purchase this insurance. Private coverage is available in all 50 states, and covers your normal maternity leave.
Mark Antony means that Brutus and the rest of the conspirators have given him permission to speak at the funeral. "Under leave" is roughly the same as "by permission"
yes you can. The liablity would fall under the agency you work for so when filing for disability you would use the temp agency not the actual company you are working for.
The answer depends upon several variables: If you are already pregnant when you start it may be more difficult to be covered under your company's short term disability policy - if they have one. If you live in a state with mandated coverage such as CA, HI, NJ, NY, RI - you may be covered under the state plan even if you were already pregnant when you started. If your employer provides voluntary short term disability options, you can enroll preconception, and your maternity leave will be a covered benefit.
It depends on the state that you're from. Some states like California will cover most people under short term disability while other states such as New Jersey doesn't have maternity coverage. You should check with your local state disability department to see if you qualify and fill out any required paper work.
