Disability Question
If you got paid disability after the birth of your child, how long did you get paid for? I was supposed to get 8 weeks since I had a section. I only got paid for 7 weeks though. They said they hold back a week and that you don't get reimbursed for it. Does that sound right?

Re: Diability Question
You are considered disabled 8 weeks after having a c section. I've never heard about them holding back disability. Every company is dfferent - does your require you to use sick days or accrued time?

Re: Disability Question
No they don't. I thought the disability came from the state.

Re: Disability Question
NY state disability? Or through your job?
NY State holds back one week - the first week is a waiting period and you dont get paid for it.

That's what it is. That bites! Why don't they just tell you 7 weeks

It's partly true. Yes, you have to wait one week before the disability kicks n. So you don't get paid the first week you are out, but I am almost sure you get paid for 8 weeks (I know I did).
I got paid for a total of 8 weeks after my first (a c/s). It was $1360 and they took taxes out, so I got a one lump sum check of just over $1000.

This is how it was explained to me and I got paid for 5 weeks, not 6.

Re: Disability Question
The I used did the same thing. I got paid for 5 weeks as opposed to 6 for vaginal birth. They did explain it to me but the person on the phone had such a heavy accient that I couldnt understand her.
