Maternity leave policies vary by country, but in the United States, the first federal legislation regarding maternity leave was the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, which amended the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit discrimination based on pregnancy. However, comprehensive maternity leave provisions were not established until the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was passed in 1993, allowing eligible employees to take unpaid leave for certain family and medical reasons, including maternity leave. Other countries implemented maternity leave policies earlier, with some European nations introducing them in the early to mid-20th century.

How much maternity leave are mothers entitled to?

The answer depends on several factors: Your employer may provide some paid maternity leave benefits. The vast majority of U.S. employers do not fund this benefit. Your state may have mandated short term disability which will pay a benefit for your maternity leave. Those states are CA, HI, NJ, NY and RI. You can purchase individual short term disability before you concieve, and your maternity leave would be a covered benefit. You also get coverage in case of pregnancy complications, delivery complications, accidents and illnesses.

How long is maternity leave in Texas?

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.
