Disability & Quitting Work
Dh and I decided that once this  is born, that i would stop working and stay home to take care of her. At least until she is old enough where we would feel comfortable leaving her with someone to watch her.
I had already told my boss about setting me up when the time comes for disability (i only get the min 6 weeks through NYS)
I have not yet told my job that I will not be returning after she is born.
Does anyone know if you still qualify for disability if you will not be returning to work afterwards?
Thanks!

Re: Disability & Quitting Work
im pretty sure you should wait until you are on leave to tell them you are not returning
that is how people at my job have done it....

THIS
I wouldn't say anything about not returning to work until you're out on leave. Even if it's a week or two before you expected return date.

Re: Disability & Quitting Work
After 10 years I think I would be honest now with them. I would explain that you are thinking of taking a year or two to start your family and then state that you understand that they can't hold your job for you, but that you would love to be considered for employment in the future. I'm pretty sure you still get the 6 weeks of disability...thats through the state not your job....they just have to verify how much you make.

i understand not wanting to burn any bridges, but i would want to cover my a** and make sure i can still get my 6 weeks pay.
i have been with my company for 8years and if i were deciding not to go back, i would probably wait until i was on leave to tell them. i would just tell them you had every intention on coming back but being home now you realize you dont want to leave the baby in daycare this young and you worked out finances and think you will be ok to stay at home etc

DO NOT tell them ahead of time you won't be returning. Techincally that could be seen as a resignation before you even go out.
Call them towards the end of your 6th week and just say you and your DH have given it some serious consideration (it was a difficult decision blah blah so on and so forth) and you have decided you are going to stay home with your baby.

Ctashing to say I agree 100% with this. If you tell them early, who knows what will happen...they may not pay you for your leave. I personally think that burning the bridge would be if you called the day before you wre due back, or if you never showed up. Call them like 3 weeks into your leave and tell them. Good luck!
