Disability insurance pregnancy : Does anyone know if it's legal in the state of Vermont to employee people without disability insurance? I know it's illegal in New York. I'm out of work due to pregnancy complications for 3 weeks or so and I can't collect disability for this or my maternity leave because they said they don't have disability insurance. I called a lawyer, but haven't heard back from them yet. Just curious if anyone knows the answer to this question. Thanks I don't have paid maternity leave, or disability... not

Disability insurance pregnancy : I'm currently an independent contractor and work as a special education teacher for young children with autism. I am covered under my husbands health insurance, but what happens when I get pregnant. Is there any way to receive some type of social security or disability when I can no longer work due to the pregnancy? I live in New York State (Long Island to be exact)

Disability insurance pregnancy : My doctor made me go out on temporary disability when I was 14 weeks pregnant due to anxiety. My employer approved, filled out my disability papers and the last I had heard, we were going to "meet" about the what we were going to do while I was on disability. I received a letter ONE WEEK later stating that they were firing me because I couldn't take prescribed medication due to my pregnancy. I lost my benefits, my job and my disability insurance. I had to apply for unemployment, and it turns o

Disability insurance pregnancy : I have a pretty good medical insurance plan but no short term disability or other type insurance to cover time off. I am 4 months pregnant and when I leave my job for maternity leave, it will be unpaid ( I will need at least a month or so off) and I still have a ton of bills, mortgage, etc. plus I have to pay my deductible which is $1500 plus 20% after this, so I am looking at a few thousand dollars I will still have to pay. Does anyone know of any assistance I can still get? or even any shor

Disability insurance pregnancy : I have lots of stress and I am 22 wks pregnant. Since I got pregnant my workload has increased instead of going a bit easy on me. I am used to being somewhat caught up with things and this is really stressing me out. I loose sleep over it and stress even when I get home, work late, don't take all my breaks because I just want to get things done!! One of the coworkers is even giving me a hard time purposely and I am trying to stay patient with her but I think I am loosing it. All in all,

Disability insurance pregnancy : I work for a non-profit organization as a full-time salaried receptionst and plan to go on maternity leave in the fall. I've spoken lightly with my office manager on the subject of Maternity leave and she told me that it would be unpaid.

Any salaried employee disabled as a result of p

Disability insurance pregnancy : i have short term disability with my employer thats good for 52weeks & in a few months i wont be able to work due to maternal leave. i have cigna insurance for disability. & the website says injury or illness but would pregnancy be included in that?

Disability insurance pregnancy : My wife was on disability for about 8 weeks due to pregnancy. We have a tax appointment this weekend but I have not received the 1099G form for disability only Family leave act. Will she get the 1099 or not? I looked on the SDI for california and it does not mention anything about having to report it. Paid Family Leave does say that the money will be reported and you will get the 1099G but disability does not mention anything. Before I call my tax guy or the state does anybody know anything ab

Disability insurance pregnancy : I was really counting on this during my pregnancy and I just found out today that we only have health and life insurance. I was wondering if there were any other outside companies that provide it.

Disability insurance pregnancy : I have aflac for my insurance since August of this year. I told the rep. that I am pregnant and she told me that if I got pregnant in August, that Aflac wouldnt be able to cover me bc pregnancy is considered a disability and there is a 30 day waiting period. I think I got pregnant on the last of August so I dont know what to do. I need my maternity leave and my friend told me that there is an insurance that covers even when your pregnant. What do you suggest?

Disability insurance pregnancy : Would it be under FMLA or short/long term disability if you can?

Disability insurance pregnancy : I was in a car accident at 17 weeks into my pregnancy. I am a high-risk pregnancy to begin with because of 3 prior miscarriages and only 1 live birth. During the accident, something was done to my back --- nerve tests are positive for damage and irritation from the L5-S1 nerve root. I also have every symptom of a herniated disc, but the MRI was negative. The pain is excrutiating. I was placed on bedrest by my neurologist and the OB/GYN agreed that bedrest would be the only way to alleviat

Disability insurance pregnancy : I am six months pregnant with my second child and am feeling depressed. I am going to be a single mother yet again, this time a baby by a different man. The first one is in prison and doesnâ??t provide any type of support. The father of my unborn child is perfectly capable of providing support during my pregnancy, but doesnâ??t. I feel alone. I wanted us to be a family but right now that seems like just a fantasy dream. I havenâ??t been eating right because for one, Iâ??m broke, and for two, I

Disability insurance pregnancy : Here's my dilemma. The doctors I have been attending are perinatals (specialize in fetal and maternal monitoring). As policy, they recommend twin pregnancies to enter bedrest at 24 weeks. Good, because this is a very hard pregnancy. I filed a claim through my short-term disability insurance policy. The problem is that I need to switch doctors because the care hasn't been all that great; extremely impersonal. I have already announced it at work formally, my son has been taken out of dayca

Disability insurance pregnancy : I am 24 weeks pregnant with my second child and because of some complications and the fact that my first child was born premature, I am now considered to be high risk. I work full-time right now, but I am not going to be able to work much longer because I am supposed to stay off my feet per the doctor's orders. I think I have heard of programs or insurance for situations like this somewhere, but from reading on the state's department of labor website, it does not seem like I qualify for unempl

Disability insurance pregnancy : I recently had a baby and was on CA State Disability & CA Paid Family Leave. I was still making payments to my employer every 2 weeks for health insurance just like when I was working. Is that right? It doesn't seem fair that if you aren't working and getting your normal wages that you should have to pay for your health insurance but then on the other side I was still using my medical coverage to have the baby and go to my post pregnancy appointments. Does anyone know the CA law on this issue?

Disability insurance pregnancy : I'm almost 5 months pregnant and I haven't gained any weight to date. In fact, I am losing weight and am currently 2 pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight. The doctor has told me that I need to decrease the level of stress in my life. My only stress is coming from my job. I can't quit because I can't afford to live without pay. I can't move to another company because I can't afford to not get disability insurance while on leave. I also believe I am going to get fired. I feel my company w

Disability insurance pregnancy : I'm allowed 12 wks off of work for pregnancy. I planned on taking 11. I have short term disability insurance. My HR said to have the doctor sign my leave paper for my 11 wks & it will be paid by STD insur. Well my doc only signed for 6 wks. I went in today to explain my leave policy at work & why I wanted off that long. The ob/gyn nurse said he can only sign for 6 wks. What the heck? Now what do I do? I need the money while I'm off. Other people I know, their doctor signed for them t

Disability insurance pregnancy : I am due in April and would like to know if anyone has taken out any supplemental disability insurance to help with living expenses while on maternity leave. My boyfriend and I have agreed for me to take off the whole summer and possibly the first year. This is his first child and doesn't want our baby going directly into daycare. My boyfriend is self employed and tells me not to worry but I was wondering if pregnancy would be considered a pre-existing condition and would not be covered under

Disability insurance pregnancy : I am trying to figure out how Pregnancy Disability Leave works together with Paid Family Leave. I work in California and I know both apply to me (but not the FMLA or CFRA - less than 50 employees at my work). If I take PDL (which is unpaid), can I then claim benefits from the Paid Family Leave insurance plan? I'm sure it's pretty simple, I am just confused right now. Thanks !

Disability insurance pregnancy : I purchased aflac insurance because I was told they would pay for me to be off after I had my child. I purchased it about 6 months ago. Now, I am trying to get all my ducks in a row (I am 3 months pregnant) and the agent is telling me that aflac does not cover pregnancy nor did they ever. I will be off work for 12 weeks. 6 weeks is covered by my own short term disability. I purchased aflac to cover the remaining 6. Can anyone help me out with the specifics on aflac?

Disability insurance pregnancy : I've had many people tell me that since she was fired during pregnancy that she should still receive short term disability. I'm just wondering if anyone can help me. Now we don't have any insurance for her as I can't add them to my medical coverage until we get married which we may have to do. We live in Iowa. Any help would mean alot. Thank you.

My boss of 3 years is also being horrible to me despite the fact that I have never missed a work day during my pregnancy and I still do my job.

I have requested several times for explanation of my beneftis which I have not received yet in the mail.

Disability insurance pregnancy : im in what you could call a temporary position even though I'm getting 43 hrs a week, still part-time as the company hasn't switched my status to full time and most likely wont change it while in this position. Im only filling in for someone who is absent due to pregnancy. I make a measly 10 bucks an hr and as I said the position is temporary and sooner or later I should be moving into a real position that has a salary compatible with someone with a masters degree which may or may not be wit

Disability insurance pregnancy : I am on Short term disability for a pregnancy complication. Someone told me that you pay for disability insurance with your utilities, but that they don't tell you that you are paying it. Is this true? What about cell phone companies?

Disability insurance pregnancy : I need to find a way to de-stress. I have not had a period for 2 months and have taken a pregnancy test which was negative, also my husband is fixed. Reason #2 in every explanation is stress which I can admit to having alot of, being taken off work due to disability, fighting with my work, the insurance company, applying for SSI, my children being in trouble for an isolated incident wich is almost taken care of and an ungrateful one (stepson) who takes advantage of my husband and he dosn't s
