Yes they can. Maternity leave is designed to allow you the time needed to have the child and then return to work. If we decide to quit the job then we don't get to keep the benefit. This could be viewed as gaming the system.

Short term disability has a defined benefit that ends at a specified time. For example your policy may have a 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, or 24 month benefit period.

If you are disabled for maternity leave you may be able to extend your benefit if your doctor provides a medical reason for why you can't work. The typical maternity benefit is six weeks for vaginal birth, and eight weeks for a c-section delivery. This leaves room for you to extend the benefits before you reach the benefit period limit.

If you remain disabled beyond your policy's benefit period you will not be able to extend the benefits.

Ultrasounds measure the size of the fetus to predict a due date and are usually very accurate, within two weeks, so I would safely assume that it would not be off by five weeks. You can ask your doctor, it won't be the first time he or she has answered that question,I promise.

Also it depends on when the U/S is. U/S before 12 weeks of pregnancy are very accurate, plus or minus 2 weeks. After that there are more varibles, babies grow at different rates so they are not as accurate.

If Long Term Disabilty is denying you because on the date of the claim you were in the pre-x period then it would be forever. When the pre-x time is over - then it would cover a NEW claim. Not a pending one. Check YOUR actual policy for exact details. For more information www.SteveShorr.com/disability.htm

The answer depends on when your coverage became effective. Most plans are effective after a time frame (ex: the 1st month following your date of hire, etc.). In order to be eligible your coverage would have to be effective while you are still working and prior to going out. Secondly, it would also depend if your plan has a pre-existing condition limitation. If the answer is yes, your claim would be denied because your condition obviously occured during the pre-ex period. Chances are, there will not be a pre-existing condition limitation in the policy - these are rare in Short Term Disability policies.

Minnesota does not have mandated state short term disability insurance. You would need to acquire private coverage.

South Carolina does not have state disability so you may be out of luck. If you enrolled in a private plan before getting pregnant, your maternity leave would then be a covered benefit.

These plans are readily available in SC. Just work through your employer to get coverage.

If you are referring to Short-Term Disability Insurance, it is taxable if your employer made the contribution, and not taxable if you made the contribution. This is because it is treated as a taxable benefit from employment that you have not been taxed on already.

Please let me know if you are referring to something else.

Thanks,

In the US in most locations yes you can. Though it depends on your exact circumstance. You cannot draw FOR maternity leave.

This link in the Related Link below will go through all the instances where you can and why as well as when you can't and why for most states.

Unemployment insurance is intended for people who lose their jobs. Many employers will hold jobs open during maternity leave - meaning you probably will be denied. If your employer does not hold your job open, then you would have a legitimate claim.

Short term disability insurance is intended to replace your income during maternity leave, not unemployment insurance.

If your treatments have side affects that limit your ability to perform your normal work duties you may be covered. Check your policy for exclusions.

Keep your policy - because your normal labor and delivery will be a covered benefit. You will have coverage for complications as well.

If a pediatrician works for a hospital then yes they have sick leave, but they need to call in so that another pediatrician can see their patients. If a pediatrician is in private practice, they don't usually have sick leave, but can try to call another pediatrician to see their patients for them. If they can get someone to cover them, then they can take off, if not, then they have to come in.

Employees on any kind of leave can be laid off without violating employment law. When there must be a layoff, and you are next on the seniority list, off you go. No EEO law can prevent that.
