Army policies with respect to pregnancy are general in nature, reflect DoD guidance, and are designed to protect both the rights of women soldiers and the efficacy of the organization. Army regulation states the separation policy for pregnant soldiers is strictly voluntary (unless discovered while in basic training then the separation is involuntary). Once pregnant, Soldiers may choose to remain in the Army or separate. Officers may choose to remain in the Service or request release from active duty, unless they are under obligation to the Army due to education or incentive pay. Soldiers may request ordinary, advance, or excess leave in order to return home or to another appropriate place for the birth, or to receive other maternity care. Leave is at the discretion of the command. T he Army allows a female Soldier to take 6-8 weeks of post partum maternity leave. In addition, the Soldier is not available for deployment for four months following the delivery date for parenthood. The post-partum soldier would also be exempt from taking the Physical Fitness Test for 180 days following the termination of pregnancy.

Depending on where you live, an employer is obligated to give one 12 weeks of Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) time off; however, whether the employer pays one is up to the individual company. In most cases NOT. Usually one applies for unemployment benefits during the six-twelve weeks off.

Texas does not have state coverage for workers.

Individual policies do a maternity leave benefit of six weeks for a vaginal delivery, and eight weeks for a c-section delivery. You are also covered in case of pregnancy complications, and delivery complications that cause you to miss work.

You can get this coverage at work via voluntary employee benefits. You pay the premium through payroll deduction.

Short term disability replaces your income if you become injured or sick and can't work. The benefit period is limited to 3, 6, 12, or 24 months. The policy stops paying benefits if your disability lasts longer than the benefit period.

There are a variety of federal and state family leave laws. At the federal level the FMLA provides 12 weeks of unpaid leave and applies to employers with 50 or more employees. In addition there are ten states with leave laws that supplement the FMLA. There is no requirement for maternity leave pay, except for five states that have mandatory short term disability in place.

It depends upon the elimination period in your policy. The elimination period is the length of time stated in the policy that you must be disabled before benefits begin being paid.

Sometimes the elimination period is shorter for accidents than for illnesses. You would also have to consider the reason for the surgery (was it brought on by an accident or sickness?).

New York has mandated short term disability insurance. It replaces up to 50% of your income, or $170 per week, whichever is less. Your maternity leave will be a covered benefit.

This level of coverage is quite small for most workers in New York City, as their incomes and cost of living are much higher than average. Many women buy supplemental short term disability to get a higher level of maternity leave pay.

Hello Friend

Well in Quebec, Canada they believe that a couple that has been living together for over a year are legally considered in the same standing as a married couple. they also have the same benefits as married couples, only when the relationship has problems and they both decide to separate that things get a little messy. in marriage, things are generally written down and both spouses know that they will get out of it in the end. simply living together couples, the courts decide who's right and who's wrong, and yes that is when a lot of money is spent on lawyers and things.

lastly,

Marriage is an institution ordain by God himself for a men and woman to come together, accepting each other as they are and deciding to live together in peace and harmony. And ladies, why would you give yourselves to a man who refuses to take the extra BOLD STEP in fully marring you? don't give in so easly, trust me, most men love a challenge and if their love is TRUE they will do whatever it takes to make you happy.

Enjoy!

Check your policy for details. Many private short term disability policies have language specifying how benefits are paid when unemployed.

The best way to get a definitive answer is to file a claim.

It depends. If you notified your employer that you were taking maternity leave - were paid all during your maternity leave - and then laid off when you reported back for work ready to resume your job - you probably can be. The law doesn't guarantee that you will be given a job, only that you may resume your old position. If, while you were on maternity leave, your position was eliminated or the company downsized your former position may have been eliminated. If you can prove that you were laid off SOLELY BECAUSE OF your maternity leave, then you might be able to challenge it. A lot depends on your employment agreement or union contract and your state's labor laws.

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.

A cancer diagnosis makes it difficult but not impossible to get short term disability coverage. If you have been cancer free for 5 years you may qualify. Also, if your employer offers a short term disability option for the first time the offer may come with a guaranteed issue option based upon participation.

If you are on a leave from your employer you are not considered to be unemployed. To be eligible for benefits a person must be unemployed (separated from the employer). They must also be ABLE and AVAILABLE to seek and accept IMMEDIATE full time work. If you are on a medical leave you are still employed, you are probably not able to accept immediate work due to a medical condition, therefore not eligible.

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.

For the same reason many wives leave their husbands: * Too many stresses at home * Financial difficulties * One or both are cheating * One or both are workaholics * The wife may have let herself go and is no longer appealing to her husband. * The wife may be a nag and over bearing/ * She could be too clingy, shy and doesn't like to socialize. * She could be lazy and keep a poor house and not look after the children properly. * Drugs * Alcohol * The husband may want to recapture his youth and go for a younger woman. * The husband is a total immature jerk and loves women! * The husband may simply fall out of love with his wife and doesn't know why. These are a few reasons, but enough to get the picture. For the same reason women leave men, not happy, wanting something else, something more, immaturity, selfishness, etc. Not all of these reasons and numerous others are present in every departure of ways, it depends on the two people and how they cultivated their relationship and dont forget sometimes there just is no pleasing someone, that is human nature at its shallowest.

Unemployment insurance replaces your income if you lose your job.

Short term disability insurance protects your income if you become disabled, and are physically unable to work.

The two are mutually exclusive, unless your employer lays you off during your disability.
