Short term disability pays a benefit for your normal labor and delivery. Your benefit period will be based upon your type of delivery. The standard benefit period is six weeks for a vaginal delivery, and eight weeks for a c-section delivery.
Disability insurance is designed to replace YOUR income if you are unable to work for medical reasons. If you remained disabled due to complications, you may be able to extend your benefit.
Family medical leave is usually unpaid, unless you live in CA, or NJ.
