If you applied for short term disability before conception, and your doctor orders bed rest due to pregnancy complications, it is possible that your policy will pay a benefit.

Can you get short term disability while on bed rest for pregnancy in Illinois?
No. Pregnancy is normally covered as any other disability, if the short term policy is taken BEFORE you are pregnant. If you are currently pregnant and get a new short term or long term disability policy, the current pregnancy will be excluded. If you have complications of pregnancy, and get a new policy, the future pregnancies may also be excluded. It's best to get coverage for short term disability and/or long term disability while you're healthy (and young) since the premiums would be much lower, and you'll have the protection for when you'll need it most. If you're already disabled or sick it's too late to get coverage for that specific disability, but you can still cover other injuries or illnesses. Talk to a good agent who can help you through this process.

Check your policy for specific language.
What options are available if my office does not have short term disability or participate with the FMLA?
When dealing with Short-Term Disability insurance, it is always ideal to have coverage offered at work, or to implement a program through work. The benefits provided are less limited and can be made available to everyone at a lower cost. However, if you are not offered coverage through work, you can look into purchasing your own Short-Term Disability policy. The options available are somewhat limited however, and many times you are better off purchasing a Long-Term Disability policy with the shortest elimination period available and shortest benefit period available. This ends up providing you a policy that begins paying after 30 days and will pay for up to 1 or 2 years per claim. If your interest is specifically because of maternity leave, there are no options available. Start saving and try to self insure or prepare yourself as much as possible. Individual Disability insurance does not cover normal pregnancy. It will cover complications with pregnancy, but not normal pregnancy.
